OK, I think that this is a decent starting point for an Apocrypha template. It would be used for pages like Hail and Farewell, Dead Men's Boots and Alignment. I tried to include adequate cautions against its misuse, both in the documentation of the template and in the actual template itself. Thoughts? --Jimsorenson 00:27, 21 June 2010 (EDT)

We should add a good image to this template. First thoughts: Paddles or Something from Furman's unnofficiall G2 tie-up story...--99.103.104.139 13:44, 21 June 2010 (EDT)

I'd almost say change it to Template: Legends and use the Transformers Legends logo as the picture. --Khajidha 13:57, 21 June 2010 (EDT)
It would be totally inappropriate to suggest Legends or its characters like Paddles are as "apocryphal" as a fanfic story like Alignment. Legends had all the same Hasbro trademarks and official publication process as any ROTF storybook. The idea that it somehow "doesn't count" is just paradoxical "Sideswipe-died-in-TFTM" Johnny Come Lately bullshit and should be ignored. --Thylacine 2000 14:16, 21 June 2010 (EDT)
Too many "vast"s. I know what you are trying to say, though. How about "As a rule, unofficial work is considered to be non-germane to this wiki, but occasionally an unofficial..." - Starfield 14:04, 21 June 2010 (EDT)
