Battlefield Wiki:What is Battlefield Wiki

Battlefield Wiki is many things. This page lists what Battlefield Wiki is not.

...always correct
With being a wiki, and being able for close to anything being able to be changed by anyone, there are times when people will change the content of a page to be incorrect.

...fanon
There are two things in most fictional universes: canon and fanon.

Canon is official stuff

Fanon can be two things. It can be fan fiction, and it can be unofficial, but most of the time widely accepted, facts.

Battlefield Wiki may unintentionally contain fanon, but we try not to.

...a crystal ball
The Battlefield Wiki cannot predict the future. Articles are not the place for speculation of any kind. Any future content should be verified and discussed before being used in main space articles.

...a site for anything not on Battlefield
Many of the Battlefield series are World War II shooters. Just because many of our articles are on World War II does not mean that other World War II things (like Medal of Honor, Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan) should be written about here.

This doesn't have to just apply to World War II topics, though. Any pages, or content within pages, that aren't related to Battlefield will be removed.

...a blog
Simple. Battlefield Wiki is not a blog.

...a dictatorship
The Battlefield Wiki is not ruled by one person without question.

...official
This site is 100% fan-maintained. Everyone here are just fans. No one here (barring the rare) works for any of the Battlefield-making companies.

...an oligarchy
The Battlefield Wiki is not ruled by a few people without question.

...a republic
We do not vote on a single user to be the leader of us for a set amount of time.

...a democracy
Although community consensus generally governs how the wiki is run, every single user does not get to vote on every single decision, and there are certain situations where a majority vote will not guarantee the expected outcome.

...Wikipedia
Even though the format of this site and Wikipedia is similar, and the basis that it is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, Battlefield Wiki is not Wikipedia. It is not even owned by the Wikimedia foundation. Battlefield Wiki is owned by Wikia.
