I prefer this solution. There is also another one (though it doesn\'t change the fact that the text had untrue elements). If you take TheGreatCharacterAlignmentDebate as settled the way that article states, then what should be done would be to remove the note on the alignment pages stating that examples can go in the work\'s YMMV tab (unless that doesn\'t count as \

Of course, if you take the page TheGreatCharacterAlignmentDebate too literally, you can\\\'t even use character alignments on YMMV pages (and maybe even the alignment pages), but since it is stated otherwise elsewhere, I don\\\'t think that\\\'s how it\\\'s meant.

Actually maybe it should just be changed. I\\\'m going to do that, and I hope this works.

Additionally, this bit of text implies indirectly that works that do use the alignment system have characters that have a clearly defined alignment by these criteria. This is unlikely to be the case. They may have clearly \'\'stated\'\' alignments, but that does mean they fit the criteria.

\'\'\'Always remember that the vast majority of characters in fiction are not tabletop game characters, and therefore lack a clearly-defined alignment by any of the standards below.\'\'\' Do not attempt to [[SquarePegRoundTrope shoehorn characters into these alignments]]; characters should only be categorized under them when their alignments are clearly and explicitly stated in canon.
