The result of the debate was change the "Behind the scenes" required for OOU articles in the MoS to "Continuity". 1358 (Talk) 09:44, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Hello ladies and gents,

For some time now, we've been treating out-of-universe articles as "behind the scenes" articles in and of themselves. As such, not one single OOU FA or GA currently has a BTS section. Nevertheless, the MoS currently states that all OOU articles on reference works should have a BTS (listed at number 9). This proposal is to change the ninth line from "Behind the scenes" to "Continuity", because that's the section that we've generally used in its place. I realize the MoS for OOU works is flexible, but since we oppose BTS sections in OOU articles throughout the site, I really don't think we should be promoting them in the MoS.

(As an additional note: there was general agreement to officially do away with this section in OOU articles before, but previous votes on the matter involved lots of other issues, as they dealt with full additions to the LG, and both ultimately resulted in no consensus.)

  5. Makes sense. Having "Behind the scenes" to describe stuff that happened behind the scenes for a behind-the-scenes article seemed redundant anyway. Trak Nar Ramble on 05:02, April 26, 2012 (UTC)
  6. I was a little confused by this a while back. It would be good to prevent more confusion.- Princess GLG 11:21, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

  16. I really feel like if a user can make it work for a article it can be in there. Darth Needham 04:00, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
  17. Going behind the scenes of behind the scenes would mean we're talking about ourselves. -- I need a name (Complain here) 09:27, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
