I like UL, but as I say, if there's another term we can import for it from elsewhere that would be better. Can't think of any currently, I must say. I know, but the point of the matter is that there really shouldn't be any reason for an "OOG" template to exist in the first place, referring to my point above: We're a wiki about the franchise, not the games, so why does a template exist stating some material is not found in the games, if the franchise itself isn't exclusively games?

I think the term "Obscure Texts" is specifically for developer interviews/texts, such as "Loveletter form the Fifth Era", or the interviews with Greg Keyes, Pete Hines, etc. Which, imo, can also replace OOG, as it also makes a distinction between what is/isn't official. But, as said, I think it's a less commonly used term.

The reason I proposed "UL" is because it quite literally states what those works are without caring if they're ingame or out-of-game. It'd only care if it's directly part of the franchise, as my last point was, they seperate what is part of the franchise and what might someday become part of the franchise.
