If I might weigh in on this topic, while the prospect of legitimizing crossovers has been brought up a couple of times in the past, I don't really feel as though there's much of a minority on this wiki that actually want to incorporate crossovers. I for one, don't want to see Optimus Prime (Matoran Universe Version) or Darth Vader, Toa of Shadow popping up as I feel it would detract from the tone of the wiki. As Mizz has rightly pointed out, it is far too often that we see crossovers attempted on other fan-fiction sites and so rarely are they seen to pay off or produce any kind of veritable results. The way I see it, they're generally harder to write, require non-BIONICLE content that I don't feel comfortable having this wiki support, and are too frequently used as an excuse to sneak in maybe one or two characters that the writer likes from another franchise.

Similar to Invader, I agree that crossovers aren't inherently a detriment to the wiki. That being said, they require quite an experienced writer to handle correctly and can often be used for all the wrong reasons. Thus, I'm generally unconvinced that reviewing policy to allow crossovers would really be in the best interests of the wiki. For nearly a decade now, we've been entirely BIONICLE-based and I see no real reason to change that proud and noble tradition. While I find you intentions noble and that this seems to be borne from a genuine desire to improve the wiki, I'm afraid that I am personally not open to altering the existing policy on crossovers.
