Religion -Myths/Legends Rituals Scroll-Bar Feature
In the myths/legends, religions, and rituals sections, there should be a scroll bar (similar to the one in relationships which goes from -5 to 5) for how true they are. There could also be a text box below it to add further explanation of which aspects of it are true, and which aspects are fabricated.    Given that it is a Myth in Universe, this would be a way for the creator to keep note of what is and isn’t true, rather than creating a historical article as well as a religious/myth one. If it is entirely true but debated in-universe, it could be a 5, if it is entirely fabricated, it could be -5, but ultimately it would be for the author to decide how to rate it, but it gives them the ability to.

The Team's Response

Hello there beans!   I like this idea for a myth/legend or ritual/tradition - not so on religion since they are organisations not intangibles.   Although I like the idea in first contact I am finding difficult to understand to WHOM is this relevant to? I mean, the creator of the article has already a panoply of tools to define the "Secrets" like this is true or not and the players/viewers in most casts you DO NOT want to know if it's truth or not. Please do not misunderstand me, I had the same issues with the character relation meters.   I would love to discuss this and hear your thoughts. If you are interested for this to be implemented please come and talk to me on #development-discussion on our Discord.   As it stands I cannot implement it but I will leave it to IN-PROGRESS for the next week so you can come and talk to me about it. If not I will have to close it down, not because it's a bad idea but because I cannot understand the implementation specification.  

UPDATE

It has been a month and I heard back from noone who voted on this :( I cannot implement something if I do not understand what you are trying to achieve and how the issues mentioned above will be actioned. Really sadly, I have to close this although it gathered an impressive amount of support.
