I thought there would be a specific page for 4 top voted speculations, which is fine since it's organized. Temporary or not I agree with TUSF. These things shouldn't go into the articles themselves, especially since episodes are starting to give us more information about the characters. I feel that adding these to the article in question would be a waste of time and energy since most likely an editor would have to go back and erase the previous information.

Although Angren drives a good point, I think adding a "speculation heading" to the pages isn't nessecary, mainly because I'm sure more and more users will find the forums through the comment section, blog posts, or through exploring. I don't have a problem with speculation itself, but lately, a vast majority of it has been ridiculous and far-fetched, due to many people overthinking and over analyzing each event that takes place in RWBY.

There does have to be a level of objectivity maintained, specially now that the show airing. With all that being said however, I personally wouldn't be upset either way it goes. I'll be one of the ones waiting for an episode that will disprove whatever voted theory and/or speculation that is popular at the moment so that it can be erased.

Those are just my two cents. Ok, let me change my original idea up a bit.

There would be a separate speculation article for each topic, but it would still be linked to the topic. For example, "Adam/Speculation" would technically be a separate article, but it would still appear on the row of tabs at the top.

As for the predictions, those are the really far-fetched ones that you hate so much. Let's just avoid them entirely.

My thought process for having this attract people to the discussion board was that this was a more direct way for people to get immediately involved in discussions that interest them.

(I will probably get banned for even implying this) It's a lot like targeted advertising.
