I'm not sure it's entirely necessary, however, because Michael Kirkbride and other developers' works aren't really disputed here as much as they used to be, so including out-of-game information on articles hasn't proven to be much of an issue as of late—that I'm aware of, at least.

While I feel like the tab system could come in handy for articles such as M'aiq the Liar, it might just cause confusion for readers and possibly even lead them to believe they have to "take sides" for lore articles, which they really don't. But that's just speculation.

I think this question should be directed to one or more members of the wiki's new Lore Guild (who number rather few at the moment, but that's apt to change as time goes on), considering they are significantly more well-versed on these topics than most people on the wiki, myself included. Look, the problem is not necessarily that he is "disputed", I know he is, he will always be, but I think most people have agreed to disagree by now, so thats not really the point. The point is that, no matter if there's integration of it or not, neither side can ever be really satisfied with the way the articles are written if it stays the way it is. While MK-Haters will always think there was too much Kirkbride, the MK-Friendly will always see the articles as only partially done. I honestly suggest taking a look at our site, since you can see, even without understanding German, that there are really two very different articles there.

We also added a Warning message on each side, shortly explaining the situation to everyone. The readers can, and are encouraged to read both in order to decide for themselves, we explicitely mention that. Thus the speculation about having to take a side is really not the case, as everyone gets to see both sides presented equally and is encouraged to see both.

I see it rather as an option for both sides to present their work without being restricted, without having to cut down their version or add stuff they dont want in there. It may also help redeem the standing we have when it comes to lore discussion, which I previously mentioned, which I dont think the Wiki deserves, as theres really being too much effort put into it to be treated like that.
