Forum:Relax manual of style verifiability requirements in limited circumstances

I think this manual of style tweak is an almost existential need for the ME3 parts of the wiki. Because of the high bar set for verification even for gameplay mechanics, a non-trivial amount of the information in the ME3 parts of the wikia is either incomplete or incorrect, and a quick play-through of ME3 multiplayer can quickly show this. Moreover, the verification requirement creates an odd situation where "strategic" information can be put on the wiki that can make un-verifiable or invalid assumptions (as present in virtually all of the ME3 singleplayer/multiplayer class guides), but an actual listing of gameplay mechanics backed up by extensive community testing and experimentation cannot be used.

I hope this doesn't proposal doesn't come off as antagonistic; I realize the ME wiki has been here for a long time before I came here and the community has a way of doing things. I earnestly want to help improve the ME wiki (namely a lot of the ME3 mechanics stuff) but the bar of mechanics verification is literally impossibly high. And as someone who relies on wikia sites for all sorts of different games, I really don't want to be in the sad situation where anytime I am trying to refresh my memory on what a power does I have to ignore all search results that come from masseffect.wikia.com.
