-  * As this wiki's purpose is to document facts, you should always avoid speculative and unsourced information. Generally speaking, information does not require ​sources ​if they can directly be seen directly in the comic or are otherwise obvious. Other information however, such as quotes from Virmir or Tod and information that is not widely known, must be sourced with a proper reference. Do not add content to an article if you cannot find a proper source.+  * As this wiki's purpose is to document facts, you should always avoid speculative and unsourced information.

Level one headers are reserved for the page title (six equal signs).
