How we verify information

Every factual page carries one of these labels, and only the first two are ever published as fact:

• Officially sourced — stated by the game's publisher or developer, with a link.
• Independently verified — checked first-hand in the released game.
• Community claim, unverified — reported by players but not yet checked by us.
• Speculation — a guess, and labelled as one.
• Retracted — something we published and later found to be wrong.

Each guide goes through a fact check and a rights check before it is published, lists its sources, and shows the date it was last verified.

What we do not use

• Leaked or pre-release footage, datamined files or ripped game assets.
• Publisher logos, box art, character art or music.
• Map positions or game details we have not checked ourselves.

Spoilers

Spoiler settings are kept separately for each game and start at “no spoilers”. Guides above your setting keep their titles hidden in lists and in search.
