Template talk:Contradict

Edit war
Continuing from User talk:Skulblaka98.

I'm protecting this page to stop the edit war. I'm not siding with the version I've locked it on. Constantly flicking back and forth between versions is not going to solve the issue.

As far as I can tell, the argument is:
 * The notice is incorrect in most cases. Blanking the template removes all the incorrect information.
 * The problem with that is it blanks a few legitimate cases. So the notice should be individually removed from the pages where it is incorrect.
 * Until someone actually goes through the 100+ pages where this is used and removes the incorrect uses, an incorrect information is appearing on most of those pages. Blanking will fix that.

Can we just update the template to have a notice like this at the top? (There might be better wording than this suggestion.)
 * The contradiction notice below may be considered outdated. Please do not take it seriously when determining how this card works. If you can confirm it is incorrect, please remove this notice.

And get it to put pages it's used on in "Category:Contradicting rulings that need checking".

If someone confirms it is incorrect, they can edit the page remove the template. If someone confirms the contradiction is valid, edit the page and change the template to Contradict, which will remove the notice saying it may be incorrect. Is this okay?

There's also a point being made that the editors of the wiki should not be deciding themselves what is and isn't considered to be a ruling difference between the OCG and TCG, so this template shouldn't exist in the first place. If that is the case, I'd be okay with removing the template completely, unless there are a few cases where we can cite Konami as acknowledging the ruling difference. -- Deltaneos (talk) 14:39, April 22, 2018 (UTC)
