Out of universe
(In response to Storyseeker1's edit and edit summary) There is some plot information in this article, but it clearly does not act as if Narnia were a real place, so it would seem to be in violation of Section 2 of the Wiki Format. I thought to rectify this with the out of universe notice. In a way, the article is based entirely outside of the books and movies, in that it does not act as if the events in them are real. It seems to me that the main purpose of putting the notice in an article is to designate that "all of its information lies outside the fictional Narnian universe," i.e., it does not act as if it were written within the Narnian universe (where, of course, the books events are historically true). So, to my understanding of the wiki format, the out of universe notice is a perfect solution for this page. Unless there is a separate policy for book and movie pages already in place, I think that either 1) the article needs an out of universe notice, or 2) the article needs to be written in past tense and as if the movie were a record of true historical events. Arvan, what is the policy? Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 23:54, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

How can this article be based outside of the movies, when it is about the movie itself? And what information is it exactly that's out of place? And keep in mind that there's a section that describes the differences between the book and the film. Storyseeker1 (talk) 00:14, August 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Essentially, The OOU template is for use on articles that are not about specifically Narnian subjects (authors, actors, companies, and the like). The films and books are outside the Narnian universe but are instead mediums by which that universe is presented; the movies, being at times at odds with the official book canon, are given a special template.

Storyseeker1: I mean that the article fails to act as if Narnia were real; in that sense, it is "outside" the fictional Narnian universe (essentially, in violation of section 2 of the wiki). Arvan: That makes sense; I just didn't know. Should the page be edited so that it is in the historical past tense, then? Or does it get an exemption because it is a page about the movie itself?

 * Book and movie pages are exempt; instead of describing a part of history we're describing a plot, which is usually done in present tense. ~Arvan


 * Great! Should the format adapt notice for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader be removed, then? Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 01:56, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think so; all the other books' articles are written in past tense. ~Arvan
