Introduction

Many pages link to a wiki due to the person not being able to find a certain feat on other sites or it does exist on other sites but is at risk of being removed due to copyright. Due to this, the Outside Wiki Standards is used to define what wikis are fine to link for a page and which ones are not allowed.

The Levels

Level 1: Official. These are wikis that are owned by the creator of the franchise or have the creators actively updating the pages. Alternatively, wikis the Author uses for information (Andrew Hussie using the MSPA Wiki for remembering things he forgot). As such, it's fine to use pages from these wikis. Please do not bother the authors and ask them questions as they frankly do not care about any of the powerscaling questions you might have.

Examples:

  • Paladins Wiki, Run Wiki, MSPA Wiki, Hedon Wiki

Level 2: Reliable. These are wiki's that have a lot of references and editors behind them trying to make the best pages. These wikis are fine to use as long as the pages are up to wiki standards.

Examples:

  • The Gravity Falls Wiki, The Samurai Jack Wiki, The Call of Duty Wiki

Level 3: Non-Trustworthy. These are wikis that are seen as Non-Trustworthy by debaters and even fans of the series. As such, they should not be used for scans and feats on the profiles. Pages that are also very low quality in general should not be linked or used until they are fixed.

Examples:

  • The Xenoblade Wiki

Level 4: Other wikis. These are wikis that are also debating wikis. These wikis should not be used for anything minus calculations. It should be noted that porting calculations from other wikis are allowed as long as credit is given to the person who created it.

Examples:

  • VS Battles Wiki, CSAP Wiki
