First of all, I never claimed I was objectively correct all the time, only that I was one of the main people who wrote it and thus one of the main people who knew full context on the policies. And it was approved by multiple staff members; Matthew Schroeder's 3 point stuff also had point 1 and 3 accepted but point 2 rejected. Logically because it is agreed that there needs to be proof that a dimension was actually created, not just teleported to a starry sky area and not just hand wave and a starry sky background appears. But if a "Worldwide Dimension" was formed, the logical assumption is to assume the outer space is an actual outer space. And having backgrounds that warp rapidly just means the character has great power over it. Last I checked, most of the people who were active on the thread were me, Ultima, and Andy. Even DontTalkDT basically said he didn't have much energy to give a proper debate but basically agreed I hammered the nail with my descriptions. And even Bambu also complimented thinking I was the one hammering the nail on another thread that discussed the same thing. So in other words, I did have approval from several staff members and I kind of do deserve half the credit or a 3rd at worst that DT got for making the page; though he clearly deserves most of it.
But still, we do not really have the biggest set policy on secondary canon sources. But this is the usual practice, we typically ignore it if it's outright contradictory. For example, if the main game says planet while the official website says universe, we go with planet. Likewise, if the main game says Universe while the secondary source says planet, we also go with universe since primary takes precedence. But if the main game just says world or dimension which literally doesn't give us anything beyond a bench mark and not a cap, while the secondary canon is more specific on the universe stuff, the secondary canon source becomes viable. Also, European websites are usually better with translations than Nintendo of America as they likely have translated to multiple languages, not just Japanese to English. But Dark649 has a history of translating Italian sources that turn out to be closer to what the Japanese translations actually are. So that's another reason to give credit. Also, it's mostly Wario's Treasure that gets transformed; debates could be made about basement because that's where most of his treasure is stored, but his entire castle can also be considered part of his treasure as it's a castle he conquered and basically stole. But either way, what he transformed into the parallel universe isn't the relevant part, what matters is the fact that he created a parallel universe in the first place.
