The novels being canon at least in part is just a fact, just check the lore books and and the Murder in Baldur's Gate campaign. As of 5th edition, the canon is basically a mix of the EEs and the novels (Neera for example is definetly canon, for she is mentioned in the IDW comic Legends of Baldur's Gate). Either way, just because the novels are awful doesn't mean they should be forgotten. They are part of the franchises history, ergo very much belong here.

But like I said, it's not about canon, it's about being official.

I love mods as much as the next guy, but I think it would make much more sense to make a seperate wiki for mods (there already exists a german one, run by the Kerzenburg forums).
