Hello,
In my side-project at trying to improve the state of Inazuma Eleven profiles on the wiki, I think I have come across a useful idea that can benefit discussions of Canon/Continuity that the Wiki follows when it comes to Verses with lots of different mediums/content across them.
My pitch is to add a 'Canon' or 'Continuity' section (Name can be further discussed) to Verse pages, that neatly explains
Canon is sometimes a widely argued upon topic in versus discussions, as this wiki has had a few itself, so I think it would be beneficial for verses that do have prevalent arguments in terms of its continuity to set how these continuites are treated in this wiki (and provide proof and explanations if necessary in this regard). It even gives viewers potential watch/read/play/etc orders if they are interested in exploring the verse themself.
In my example, Inazuma Eleven has 2 main timelines, a game series that separates itself from its anime but still has canon-adjacent considerations, and a somewhat confusing timeline to those casual with the series. I would like to express this on the verse page i plan to revamp from its current poor quality, so that viewers know how it is being treated as on the wiki. Other similar verses I can think of that would find this section useful are Dragon Ball, Yugioh, Digimon etc. I would also like to stress that this section would be optional to verses that benefit from this, as i am aware that the amount of content of verses isnt equal, so for smaller series that only have 1 main source material, this wouldnt be necessary.
Perhaps if someones even feeling like a challenge, there could be an attempt at explaining Marvel or DC's continuities...
Let me know what you think, this is a draft idea so I haven't properly organised a format to pitch, but I am happy if this gets any interest taken further

- The standard 'canon' timeline of a Verse, or alternate canon/rebooted timelines, in order of what media takes place first or at the same time with eachother
- Canon-adjacent material, that uses facts from loosely canon materials such as character abilities, that haven't necessarily been shown in the main timeline but have reason to believe they are capable of doing as such
- Non-Canon material, that is not usually considered within main timeline scalings (But perhaps has profiles on the wiki attributed to that continuity, such as Eyes of Heaven or JORGE JOESTAR in Jojo)
- Any other miscellaneous products? (Perhaps such as official artworks?)
