Evening all.
It was recently brought to my attention by one of the Wiki Community Staff members that one or more users have systematically gone through multiple Kaiju and Jaeger Wiki articles and swapped canonical information in favor of half-baked nonsense from a YouTube channel.
Pacific Rim has been dormant (if not dead) as a franchise since 2018, with the only Pacific Rim: The Black (and its related media) as a last-gasp perpetuation of the IP.
As far as canon information goes, unless the information is coming explicitly from the producers and that Netflix series itself, and you're citing your sources? Any information without citation, or coming from places like Goji Center or even Toho Kingdom (just to cover my bases) is not remotely reliable and will be deleted.
Addendum: Stats and data from Evil Genius Games Pacific Rim Tabletop RPGs, Everyday Heroes, and Dominion of Iron are not to be taken as overriding data for any canonical stats or data already present on Kaiju or Jaeger pages.
Examining several articles since 2021-2022, a lot of users have gone through dormant articles (like Trespasser, etc.) and added broadly false information about their categories, or changed the tense of the articles from present to past tense.
Current circumstances being what they are, I'm not able to be here in the same capacity as I used to be over a decade ago. Neither can some of the newer co-admins. So it's disappointing to hear that folks have taken advantage of the admin lull and damaged the credibility of the wiki.
There's plenty to do on the wiki when it comes to expanding it and even cleanup. Please try to remember that, in your boredom, cooking the books and adding fanfiction to articles is not the ticket.
Have a great week,
