Non-canon vs. canon
Just tossing this out there. The OC-1X Orca is the canon incarnation from [Experimental Technical Readout: Republic, Volume 2]]. Will this be merged into this listing or will it become a separate listing?76.106.155.54 14:14, 20 July 2015 (PDT)
- The 'Mech described in XTRO: Republic II is pretty much the same 'Mech so I reckon this non-canonical april fools joke was eventually canonized. Under that premise, I'd say there should only be one single article - it's discussing the same subject matter after all. If nobody else does it in the meantime then I'll eventually update the article myself. Frabby (talk) 02:17, 22 July 2015 (PDT)
- I have to disagree. I am perhaps a minority in this matter. If someone wants to be be able look up april fools version of the mech, they should be able have a article dedicated to that. The Orca that was featured in XTRO: Republic II is it's own animal, with April Fools components mentioned as in-universe rumor, but truth a joke. Please keep these things separate, people are going remember the April Fools thing than actual new entry. I rather see them kept that way for people returning to the game or want remember the past. Please keep it separate. -- Wrangler (talk) 04:42, 22 July 2015 (PDT)
