Canon Issues
In his Heroes: Survival profile, it says his brother is Perrin Crocker, and his ability is pretty much identical to bone spike protrusion. However, since these are made up by fans, I am unsure of the canon status of this information, so I made a seperate page for the ability and did not list Perrin as his brother. Is there a rule on how it this information should be treated? Oh, and should it be moved from Shard to Travis Crocker, as that is the name given in the profile, with Shard only being a nickname?--Ratclaws 19:06, 20 October 2009 (EDT)
- We've never really had a formal discussion about it. We've been including the information on Heroes:Survival throughout the site, including adding characters to ability pages etc. I am also responsible for this, so I don't want to sound like I'm pointing fingers at others. But as time has gone on, the amount of information that we're using from fans has really bothered me. I mean, it's one thing for the writers to take fan creations and insert them into canon and near-canon content. It's another for us then to go to the original fan creation and treat that as a canon or near-canon source. I'm beginning to feel that we should confine information from Heroes:Survival to just the notes on the character's page, and only use information from the iStories themselves. That would mean a lot of work and some major changes, but that's just my opinion, which has been forming and growing stronger over the past month or so. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:06, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
- I think that's the way it is currently, no? I mean, we're only adding characters to ability pages (or creating new abilities) if their abilities have been demonstrated in the iStories. If the writers include a HSG person in an iStory but don't show their ability being used, we wouldn't create that article at all. In this case, I believe we should avoid listing the Perrin/Shard relationship, but instead mention it in the notes section of Shard's page. --Radicell 09:43, 21 October 2009 (EDT)

Name
What do call him? I mean, do we move him to his actual name and keep Shard as a nick, or do we leave as Shard and redirect his name here? Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 11:55, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
