Forum:Speculation and IRL info pages

First off since I don't know what to call them, I'll refer to pages that are created with articles (such as talk pages) as "Shadow Pages".

SO. While I was lurking on a certain wiki trying to figure out what something was I noticed they have something called "speculation pages" for some of their pages and I started wondering if we could do the same thing here to keep Talk Pages from being filled with speculation since Talk Pages are meant to discuss the article itself, not every random users story for it. Heck practically all of the zombie maps ,Ghost's, Wood's, and Richtofen's talk pages are filled with speculation.

And while we're on the subject of another "shadow page", since people absolutely love adding In Real Life info to main articles, would it be reasonable to have a shadow page specifically for it? Since there are people who do want to note the differences and there are people who want to read about them.

And before someone runs off at the mouth about "we're not the gun wiki", I know that but a link a Wikipedia article (or equivalent) does not show the specific differences between in game and real life counterparts.

And don't even bother bringing up COD:NOT, ain't valid here since I didn't say we have to do this, I am suggesting we do it since it in theory could work here as well.

Having a page for specifically IRL info would cut down on the amount of it being added to main articles and that's one less thing we have to constantly remove and watch out for and having speculation pages would let talk pages be treated as they are suppose to be used, discussing improvements to the page.
