User blog:Ultra64Detective2401/Sus Template:Explained

So, you’re one of the four people that got their article marked Sus? Or you just saw an article get marked Sus but are curious as to what that even means? Or maybe you want to start using the template yourself but don’t know the proper use?

Well, the use of the (psuedo)template is to, well, mark an article as sus. But what is sus, in this context?

In the game Among Us, “sus” is used for suspicion of being the Impostor. Are you not doing your tasks? That’s sus. Did you say Green vented, but it turns out Green was not an Impostor? That’s sus.

In this wiki, “sus” is used for suspicion of an article (or report, but the template is only used for articles) being fake, or what we would call non-canon.

This is not the same as Dubitation. Dubitations occur because something in there appears to conflict with the Community Canon. An article is sus when there’s something off about the article ITSELF. For instance, a third basement would be dubitated because it goes against the Community Canon. An unrealistic report involving reporting a new level but never going inside it whatsoever, yet still knowing the name of the level? That’s sus. (Because how did the reporter know the name of the level and yet not enter it, or enter the level but suspiciously say nothing about what was there?)

This also means it’s possible for an article to both be Dubitated AND labeled sus! (But only admins can label Dubitations)

Oh, and if YOU were marked sus on your user page, that was WWW joking around (the intended implication would be more closer to Among Us, you’re sus, might be an “impostor”, someone who makes FAKE reports)
