I am new to editing here on the wiki and I was wondering to what are the rules for the WMG pages for Ongoing works. The reason I'm asking is because I was looking at the Runescape WMG page, but around half of the posts written there were Jossed by game updates and new info about the game that appeared over time, making those WMG posts redundant, but having them in between theories that weren't confirmed yet, and from different parts of the game's story. While I know those posts are not to be deleted, I was wondering if there are any specific rules for the pages to keep them organised, since, as time goes on, the work (and the theories) will change. Also, the page just generally looks like a mess, and I think it would be useful to sort it out, but I have no idea how. Can anyone with more experience here explain how should WMG posts like that should be run?

Greetings,

personally I have never liked the "Jossed" commentaries, but they don't affect the appropriateness of an inclusion. Or in other words, Wild Mass Guessing entries can stay regardless of canon status.

IMO, all WMG pages need to have a specific section, either on a separate subpage or at the bottom of the page, for Jossed entries.
