It also precludes categories and makes disambiguation difficult. Can character infoboxes be inserted into the comic, video game, and book templates? Can that be done multiple times? That's what I mean by not covering anything.

And is all that work really necessary to accommodate for two (literally two) bad apples?

Here's the most problematic section of that proposal: However, if that series of games created such a large picture of its unique universe, and the game articles themselves cannot hold all of the information, that series would be allowed to be given a unique Temporary Reality Number and treated as a collective alternate universe to cover it adequately. That's a big "if," and is going to differ from person to person. What amounts to a "unique universe" is left open to interpretation, as is how much of that is necessary for there to be the individual pages. Then there's the tricky issue of trying to figure out the limits of that "unique universe" that complicates things further.

Every time, all to accommodate two pages.

This would also assume the games have their own, unique universe, which they don't as they're connected to the same universe as the main series of films they're connected to.

And, just to throw out another wrench, contradictions are not limited to tie-in materials. See: The X-Men franchise.

SIDE: The template wasn't deleted as much as it was moved.

Does it have to be templates, though? Can't we just insert a ===Non-Canon=== sub-section somewhere on Rhino's page and call it a day already?
