Non-canon information?
This is not specific to this page so please let me know if you'd like me to move this to the community page instead, but it reminded me as I plan to do some work on the Nine Hells article and was wondering. Is there a wiki policy on how to handle D&D canon that is not confirmed to be Critical Role canon? For example, a Yochlol hasn't shown up in Critical Role; is it worth creating a page for one or should we link to the Forgotten Realms wiki until such time as one appears?

 * What I tend to do is just link to the Forgotten Realms wiki. It doesn't really make sense to create an article for something mentioned only in passing, populated with information that's just plain mechanics because there's not really any lore to be had, so Forgotten Realms is a good target and just hope the readers are astute enough to figure what's over there isn't necessarily. Perhaps we can do a system that's like: Yochlol (fr) similar to Wikipedia's interlanguage link. FreckledMcCree (talk) 23:08, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

My personal opinion is that the wiki is here to document the Critical Role universe, so pages for D&D concepts that haven't appeared at all in CR probably aren't appropriate and would be better with a Forgotten Realms cite. If it's a D&D concept that's appeared on the show at all, that's another story, particularly some of the magic items that have important or frequent usage.
