Quick answer
DragonSword Wiki writes for the player first: give the useful answer, explain the trade-off, identify the game version when it matters, and correct material errors.
Player-first standard
Every guide starts with one player question. The answer comes before background detail, and related pages are linked only when they help complete the task. Empty fields and internal production notes do not belong on player pages.
Research standard
Official announcements and inspectable game material are preferred for facts such as mechanics, unlock steps, platforms, prices, and patch changes. Practical recommendations such as playstyle, team role, strengths, or common mistakes require agreement across independent current-version coverage. Conflicting or single-publication opinions are not presented as settled conclusions.
Original writing
Competitor guides may help identify questions worth answering, but their prose, screenshots, tables, and rankings are not reused. Editors compare the available material, create a neutral brief, and write an original explanation for this site.
AI assistance
AI tools may help organize research, compare notes, edit prose, and identify claims that need checking. AI output is not treated as proof of a game fact, damage value, unlock step, ranking, or troubleshooting result.
Corrections and updates
When a patch changes a material detail, the affected guide is updated or temporarily removed from normal discovery. Confirmed factual errors are corrected in the article and its underlying records. The updates hub summarizes current official changes that affect players.
Rankings
A ranking is published only when every included character is evaluated under clear, current, comparable conditions. Until that work is complete, the site offers playstyle comparisons instead of an unsupported tier list.
