Oh it is a good idea, and I see what you're trying to do, but in my honest opinion, this isn't a product. This is a place to find information about a great show by an awesome guy that people love. I think the focus should be more on that, than cloudy predictions, and out of bound speculations. Many people are so focused on "what if", "what it could be", and "what it should be" instead of just looking at the "what it is". There comes a time when one just needs to sit back and enjoy the ride. And you're right, that will be the case as the series progresses and more is revealed. Until then, however, there is very little "what it is".

I suppose now that I've heard all the holes in this, I should point out that it was intended to clean up the pages that are really messy with speculation ("White Cloak", for example) so that people that are new to the wiki can get a general idea of what something is. When I first joined the wiki, that page didn't even exist. I didn't intend to apply it to major character articles, or anything that would eventually have a lot of facts and little theory.

What I envisioned was this: Someone googles "white cloak RWBY", and they go to the White Cloak article. Seeing some of the speculations, they think: "hmm, that's interesting, but I'm not entirely sure I agree". And while discussions are linked into the page, that only works if someone added that topic into the discussion, which isn't always the case.

And I wasn't meaning to compare the wiki to a product, I was just trying to use an example to make sense of it.
