Every major piece of information should reference the official Intrepid Studios source where the information was obtained. This is most likely a video or livestream or a quote form a "yellow" Intrepid staff member on the official discord.

  • Please don't source info from non-official sources. The information provided may be based on interpretation or opinion.
  • Unless you are creating a verbatim transcript or quotation, please don't transcribe exactly what was spoken or written. The language used in this wiki should be neutral and in accordance with the style guidelines.
  • It is fine to cite reputable news sources from within articles, so long as the articles themselves aren't news pieces. A wiki should be an encyclopedia rather than a newspaper.
  • A citation should immediately follow the text to which it applies, including any punctuation.
  • When using citations, place the following at the end of the article in question. Citations used in the article will appear in this section.
