#I like the idea of this, but I do not like the way you've worded it. ''The inclusion of these allegations is not an endorsement of their validity'' makes it sound way too much like "we know this isn't true but we're leaving this here anyway" (which obviously isn't true).

#I don't think this is a bad idea, but I don't see much point to it other than just adding needless fluff to every relevant article; controversy sections are already supposed to be written in a neutral tone that conveys we're not backing either side as the truth (outside of cases where it's confirmed beyond a doubt), and of course the catch-all SmashWiki disclaimer exists. Additionally the Xaltis situation is not a good precedent for this; of course anyone that is involved in any such controversy has it in their best interest to have their controversy section removed or be rewritten to be as flattering to them as possible regardless of if they're guilty, so someone that cares enough about their smasher article will try to raise a stink about it regardless of how balanced the coverage is and is unlikely to be deterred by any disclaimer. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 21:32, March 18, 2021 (EDT) | |||
