Now, before I ask this, I want to make one thing clear. This is NOT meant as a complaint towards the wiki's policies. This is a legitimate question and a suggestion. Do with it what you want. I mean NO disrespect at all.

So: how does this wiki truly rank canon? Now, I know about the Canon Policy, don't worry, but some articles mix canon and non-canon a bit too much IMO. For example, I know that filler arcs do not consitute canon. However, the Noble Houses page has a section about the Kasumiōji Clan, which is clearly not canon (even though it mentions it), yet the Ryōdoji Family which is equally not canon afaik, is listed seperatly under "other media".

What decides which is part of the main article and which is "other media"? Because, afaik, both are equally non-canon.

Likewise, the Zanpakutō Spirit page also mixes elements from the canon manga, and the non-canon filler. Now, to me (a fan) it's thankfully obvious which is which. But to a newcomer here, the distinction is not made very clearly enough. There are some other examples, but this will get long enough.

This brings me to my next point: canon hierarchy. This is mostly a suggestion, but how about just saying "canon or non-canon", which leaves many things in dispute in the gray zone, you try to make a hierarchy of canon?

See, Star Wars wiki used to do something similar back before the Canon / Legends switch (made on an official level). Rank things by how canon they are. So in case of contradictions, "A" is always canon and takes precedence over "B", but "B" is still considered canon otherwise, while "C" is not canon at all.

So for this, "A" would be manga, "B" would be filler & novels, and "C" would be games and movies. But this is just my suggestion.

I mean, it would certainly help later down the line in sorting all the novel info that people are pestering this wiki about nonstop...

This is getting quite long and I've used the word "canon" now more than I usually do in a month, so I'm going to stop here. I'd love to hear any answers, critique, and/or suggestions.

And again, while I'm sure you've heard more than enough about this and are tired of it, I want to stress I mean no disrespect or offense at all. So please don't see it like that.
