Just a note, the "WIP" template is meant to tell readers the page in the progress of being fixed up, it doesn't cover the information inside the pages, but rather the organisation of the layout, where the information goes, etc, etc. Its also, again, not an excuse for just creating pages.

We should not, either way, use disclaimer templates such as "WIP" as an excuse to have that particular page, its very unprofessional as wiki practies goes.

@Kim; Adept-ex summed up my previous post pretty well, its was all relevent but I went into great detail on the matter. Basically, if we add a page and it turns out say, Kamui is NOT going to be a vocaloid after all that, who is in the wrong? Us -The Vocaloid wikia- As far as some fans are concerned, there is no excuse for sloppiness and adding a character whom is not destined to be a vocaloid.

Just having the page... It spreads rumours and I've seen the impact of mistakes we've done in the past. It goes back to the fact people fail to do their research and end up taking everything at face value forgetting a wikia is a STARTING POINT and you should only use it as a reference for further research. It takes a LONG time for rumours we've created ourselves to disperse. Much longer then when VO forums makes creates a rumour.

And unlike VO when they make rumours exist, there is no one to clean up our mess, whereas we have the chance to clean up VO's mess and correct it before it becomes "common knowledge" amongst the fandumb part of the fandom.

If things were different, we woyuld be able to create pages without. Things fall back into the issue with Vocaloid itself in that there is no common storyline between the vocaloids and they led off in a dozen directions.

Unlike a manga or anime or anything else thats a series we can't just quote chapters and episodes and tell them to go read/watch it and learn for themselves. The information is spread out over literally dozens of websites. This tends to work against us all when it comes to speculative "could-be" vocaloids. :-/
