I said to you yesterday that I'll contact Gamepedia and Nyzaltar to have inputs on this passionate debate, and maybe stop the unending debate on what should not be on the wiki. Personnaly I'm completly neutral on the fact to add player contents on wiki or not. I think the diversity of wiki contributors will balance the wiki"s posts "promoting" organizations to reach a kind of neutrality. It's one of the idea of the fonctionning of Wikis in general. Others wikis like WoW are adding guildes info, so practically it can work. If I'm neutral on that, it's also because from the community page, and I think also directly in the game, it will already be quite easy to see which are the largest and most active organizations. My only concern is that it will inflate the size of this wiki, and makes it less practical for a new player searching for information. Nevertheless, from the beginning I felt that this debate will be passionate, and that's why I contacted managers from both sides (Gamepedia and NQ). Here we have the answer from Gamepedia who hosts the wiki. Still waiting for Nyzaltar's answer to have NQ view, if they have an opinion and if they want to supervise what is on the Wiki... If not, we will have to find a compromize without NQ, and Gamepedia is at least proposing a solution with this tag thing. Having a clear statement and a clear tag will solve most of the concerns of having player contents on the official wiki, and it would clearly distinguish official contents and player contents. Edit: NQ-Nyzaltar answered me, and NQ will give their stance on this topic today.

Waiting for NovaQuark to jump on this debate, to know if they have a clear view on what should not be in this official wiki. I asked for the view of the Gamepedia's managers. We at least have a clear answer from them: https://dualuniverse.gamepedia.com/Talk:Terran_Union I quote : "Hey guys, just wanted to throw some information in here. Player content does have a place on wikis, but it should be in a separate namespace and flagged as such, just so it's not confused as official game information. Here are some examples of how other wikis handle it: Guilds on Wowpedia Journals on No Man's Sky If you'd like to go this route, just let me know and I can set up an "Organization" namespace, so pages will look like this "Organization:Terran Union". You'll want to set up a template and some guidelines for people to follow as well. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like more information. :) --Alianin (talk) 21:28, 6 August 2017 (UTC)" It's a way to keep official information clearly visible and the wiki practical for new comers on DU or Wiki. If we're going in this direction to insert player contents in the wiki with a tag, an explanation of what means this tag on the main page should state what it implies, for example: "player content, not officical information from NovaQuark, to take with cautious". That way, new comers are aware of all the consequences: possible lack of representativity, possible lack of neutrality...

this wiki is the official one, NovaQuark migth have an idea on what should be or not be on this wiki. Any input on this debate NQ-Nyzaltar? A wiki lives through contributors modifying the information, so an equilibrium migth be created and might help to have neutral information. But inserting infos on player contents would inflate a lot the size of the wiki and the practicality of this official wiki for new comers

looking at JC's answers in diverse interviews, the flight mechanics will be realistic, but not too much. Because he said that to design a real fighter in a real physic world, one has to work at Boeing or Dassault... So physics is simplified, but sufficiently reallistic to have a challenge to build starships/fighters... The feeling of realism seems to be created by a tradeoff between ships weight/speed/autonomy/maneouvrability/engine specifications... Several info have been collected on the wiki: https://dualuniverse.gamepedia.com/. You should look at it.
