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.

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. However, there should always be a scan from the official source if that is available over using the wikis.

Level 3: Non-Trustworthy. These are wikis that are seen as Non-Trustworthy by users 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.

Level 4: Other indexing/powerscaling wikis. These are wikis that are normally powerscaling/indexing wikis. These wikis should not be used for anything minus calculations (which should be ported). It should be noted that porting calculations from other wikis are allowed, with credit preferably being given. Directly stealing and copying their pages is considered a offense and leads to a strike, and potentially a ban.
