The "Fazbear Frights" books
Five Nights at Freddy's: Fazbear Frights books are releasing, with Into the Pit and Fetch already being out. The article should be expanded periodically (three more are planned to come out by the end of the year) to include these books for currency.

Issues with talk page
Hey, I just want to say something really quickly. I am not a moderator nor an expert, I'm simply pointing out issues that I want to be addressed. I keep seeing talk page comments about lore and their theories. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this article is about the franchise itself and is intended to educate readers about it. It's not supposed to tell you the lore, which is a disputed topic and thus there will never be a consensus for what to put in this hypothetical "lore section".
(edited to fix an error regarding format - Dil) TL;DR I'm pretty sure the talk section is for discussion about making the article itself better, not discussing lore or fan theories. Dilpickl (talk) 18:52, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

"Characters" section.
Hello.
It seems that the "Characters" section and both sub-sections do not seem to meet the standards laid out in the MoS. It is heavily over-detailed, while lacking in citations. The section should only cover major characters, or at least make a list with bullet points. A description for each individual character is not necessary, especially since there is a myriad of unconfirmed speculation/theories, which is off-limits unless they have been covered by whatever Wikipedia considers reputable enough sources.
I believe previous revisions of the section were far more appropriate. A separate article might suffice, but due to the lack of citations available, that might not be an option. Weirdarpeggi (talk) 13:00, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Flumpty's and Other Unrelated Content
Yes, ONAF and other spin offs have been endorsed by Scott Cawthon, but why are they mentioned in an article about Five Nights at Freddy's? Just because Scott endorsed these games DOES NOT mean that they're apart of the actual Five Nights at Freddy's series. Period. Aardwolf68 (talk) 07:02, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
Animatronics section
Hey bro bring back the animatronics it's not misinformation because we still don't know much about the lore since security breach was released and ruin the dlc isn't helping much and the new book so can you bring back the animatronics and stop spread false news about misinformation I was literally disinformed when I looked into the things on your edit it's confusing plus it was nice when it actually listed the robots so please 🙏 bring them back I liked the site now it's just not like it was I was going to edit the site but I'll give you a chance 🥺😭please the site is not trash but is not what is was plus its not misinformation when you don't know much about the lore and with the new games books and more it,s confusing even game theorists
So please 🙏 Rainbowwolf.acc (talk) 21:17, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

I wan to wright about security breach and other games that were missed, and YouTubers who have played fnaf I will also add a section about famous fnaf memes.
Not done: this is not the right page to request additional user rights. You may reopen this request with the specific changes to be made and someone may add them for you, or if you have an account, you can wait until you are autoconfirmed and edit the page yourself.

Splitting characters into their own article
Plain and simple; the franchise has too many characters. The current version of the article gives too much weight to human characters within FNAF, and leaves only one sentence only referring to the first game's animatronics. Adding details on even all the major characters would inflate the article to a size which would be too large, and I would propose that the Wikipedia community splits this section into Characters from the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, as well as point redirects which currently target to this article's character section, such as Freddy Fazbear, into their respective sections.
