Further, I only locked it during an editing dispute, as part of filing this administrative appeal, and did so while preserving the last edit they made. This was done to avoid any tampering by any party, pro or anti, during the appeal period. I fail to see how this could constitute an abuse of power. Additionally, this is actually not my policy. It was actually created by Maxen, though having it clearly stated probably would be helpful.

EDIT:

I'll also take this brief opportunity to say that the idea I 'disagree' with the fanon involved is incorrect. I quite like the idea of Mellar as the pope, since it opens up new avenues of roleplay. I was referring to the original Archbishop page with "claimant" in the title.

Where is it stated anywhere on the wiki that this claimant tag is policy? I cannot seem to locate it... When was the discussion on this new policy, and why was I not notified? If this is how policy is being decided, then it seems to me its time to put my effort elsewhere.

The current stated policy regarding fanon discrepancies is as follows:

'''Many articles from different fan-made extra-canonical works are to be included on this wiki. '''There will be times when two different accounts of fanon disagree. '''In such cases, the account presented on this wiki will either be compiled to be a reasonable combination of the multiple cases provided, or a disambiguation of the differing accounts in question. Contact Maxen for such cases!'''

Nowhere does it mention slapping a claimant tag on something, nor does it tell us admins to change the page as we see fit. It says contact Maxen. By circumventing this policy, -you- are in fact abusing your administrative privileges.
