Ahh, I knew this would come to a head someday.

Like most, I want things to stay right by the canon,, because good thing can come out of it. That said, now that we're having to bear the results of the five year post-Halo 3 gap, it could mean the canon policy could get altered to allow for these things, rather than having to slap the Contradict template over half the wiki. Most articles get tagged for Unrealism anyway, as well as a general background canon, like the origin of Spartan-IIs or the S-III companies formed. I think Matt's suggestion is the best one to ponder; should we instate then a "ranks of canon" policy? It would give old works considerably more freedom to finish what they started, but still allow us to enforce on new canon. It averts the false dichotomy of "all canon or none."
