I've got a suggestion regarding the articles that belong to specific Canons here. I think it might be more convenient if an icon representing a particular canon would be placed in the top right corner of an article belonging to the said canon (example). Placing the cursor over the icon would show which canon the article belongs to, and clicking the icon leads to it. Everything works via a template. This may eliminate the need to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page just to see which canon it belongs to.

Here is the example for Padomaic Canon and a suggestion for The Burned-Mane Canon (mouse over the icons):



Icons for the LON and etc., might be made by the owners of these canons, or you can post an idea and I'll see if I can make it. Articles that may not belong to any canon might be instead labeled as "Lore" (that might be with a book icon). If a page belongs to more than one canon/category, then more icons are placed to indicate that.

How it works: the template is added at the beginning of an article (if the infobox is present, then right after the infobox). The template places an icon in the corner, automatically adding the article to the canon's category (this might be useful when making new pages). If the article already is in the category, then the template just places the icon.

The reason behind this suggestion is, when I first came to this wiki, I was confused. While most of the articles with infoboxes make it clear which canon it is (e.g. the BMC infobox is white with red lettering) there are articles with no infoboxes (example) that make it harder to understand unless you scroll down and look in the categories.

Padomaic Canon articles already use the template. This is my own opinion, and I wish to hear yours. If you support the idea, post how your canon's icon should look or upload the icon itself if you have it. I'll make the templates.
