Forum:Nightfall conflicts

I know Acer was going to make a thread on this, but I thought I'd jump right in. Basically: the accounts of Operation Nightfall in does not match up with what was later established in Season 3, and  basically rewrites the entire story on that score. Now that I'm filling out everything from Findings, I'm running into a number of articles that - in theory - don't warrant articles because they have been overwritten in canon. The conflict first came on Rocky Mountains, which is referenced only as where Jack met one of his (retconned) teammates. It's a tricky situation but here's what I'd like to do:


 * Create a separate page, Operation Nightfall (Findings at CTU), to cover the original description of events and make it extremely clear that it's no longer canon
 * For locations/objects that are only mentioned in the Findings version, use the notice that I've been putting on articles thus far:


 * For articles that are sourced from the old version and other sources - Rocky Mountains, eventually, once I work on - I think we could use something like the template [fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Robert_House#Behind the scenes here] to block out sections that aren't "canon" to the same degree as the rest.
 * I'm not sold on using the Category:Non-canon characters category for the team members, as it doesn't seem quite the same situation as characters from deleted scenes. Even then, I'd still like to add them to other categories like "Deceased characters," "U.S. military personnel," etc.

Basically, I want to be as thorough as possible in including everything from Findings, even if it's been retconned since then. To me it makes no sense to willfully exclude information from any article because it's now more made-up than other made-up information that's come along since then.
