| + | '''Hazu'Asnab''' was a [[nerubian]] [[spiderlord]]. He gave a human female who had taken several artifacts from the [[Scourge]] a spidersilk scroll that promised her safe conduct through nerubian lands and excellent compensation for the artifacts. The woman died and her corpse was found and looted by a [[goblin]]. [[Brann Bronzebeard]] bought the artifacts in [[Gadgetzan]] and took the letter, both to finish her task and allow him a chance to interact with the nerubians. The words on the scroll according to Brann were "I bear tokens against the Scourge! Hazu'Asnab commands that you permit me safe passage! I carry his seal!" Brann then said he traded the artifacts for six days and nights among them in the [[Sundered Monolith]] and safe passage. The document would not do him any good after that.<ref>''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', pg. 141-142</ref> |

| − | I checked around and didn't find anything about the last news about the RPG, and how to proceed. As you know, [http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2721372142 CDev questions 2] said the RPG was not canon. Before WP becomes a complete mess with people removing, people tagging or people making new sections, I think we need a policy. |
||
| + | == References == |
||
| − | This is my take on it: |
||
| + | {{reflist}} |
||
| − | *Small lines integrated into something bigger: references should be enough. |
||
| − | *Small lines not integrated into something bigger: moved to trivia: "In the RPG blablabla, although it may not be canon". |
||
| − | *Medium texts that can act as standalone: Moved to a "In the RPG" section with a RPG-section tag. |
||
| − | *Articles that are 90% RPG: bring back the RPG tag in the first line of the article, so people know it's from the RPG without needing to check sources one by one. |

| − | Even though they said the books might as well be considered non-canon, they have stated in the same thing answer that things from the RPG do make its way into the game, and that they basically pick and choose what they what to be considered lore and not lore... (like they always have), so just plain removing all info, just because it comes from the books is not the right way to go about it. {{User:Coobra/Sig4}} 03:21, 27 June 2011 (UTC) |

| − | |||
| − | : So let's take the [[Worgen]] page as an example (since it's what I referenced on SoL). The vast majority (actually all of it except maybe one line mentioning the skinning) references the RPG book. So what should be done is adding the RPG tag above those sections? Though there are things like the description of the way the creature looks (considering you can see that elsewhere such as in-game and other canon materials such as the comic) that don't really require a book to tell you such as the first line of that section. So what I am getting at is should there in some cases be multiple sections also? [[User:Leviathon|Leviathon]] ([[User talk:Leviathon|talk]]) 04:09, 27 June 2011 (UTC) |

||
| − | *Paragraphs of RPG content disconnected from the rest of the article should be moved to an "In the RPG" section near the end of the article. |
||
| − | *Pictures from the RPG are fine (especially for characters like [[Queen Azshara]] where we don't have anything better). |
||
| − | *Minor stuff from the RPG can be used as references, but not anything important. -- (this is subjective and probably not a good way of putting it) |
||
| − | *RPG-only articles get tagged {{t|RPG}} at the top and removed from any gameplay/non-RPG-specific categories (Lore characters/Major characters/etc...) |

Revision as of 14:19, 27 June 2011
|
This article contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.
|
Hazu'Asnab was a nerubian spiderlord. He gave a human female who had taken several artifacts from the Scourge a spidersilk scroll that promised her safe conduct through nerubian lands and excellent compensation for the artifacts. The woman died and her corpse was found and looted by a goblin. Brann Bronzebeard bought the artifacts in Gadgetzan and took the letter, both to finish her task and allow him a chance to interact with the nerubians. The words on the scroll according to Brann were "I bear tokens against the Scourge! Hazu'Asnab commands that you permit me safe passage! I carry his seal!" Brann then said he traded the artifacts for six days and nights among them in the Sundered Monolith and safe passage. The document would not do him any good after that.[1]
The scroll is unofficially known as Brann's document.
