-  * Articles must contain enough information to warrant a full page. If they do not have enough content, they should be merged with other similar articles.
   * Articles must pertain directly to the Crimson Flag Comic.  Articles related to other works by Virmir including Virmir-World Comics are not allowed.
   * Articles must pertain to established, canon information in the comic.  Information revealed by Virmir in CF chat may also be included if it can be referenced to the chat logs.  Speculative articles are not allowed.

 ===== Writing =====
-  * 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.

   * Articles in the main namespace should always be written in the third-person perspective and without terms referential to the reader. Try not to use abbreviations of words either.
   * To emphasize points, //italics// should be used, not **bold** or ALL CAPS.

   * We will have basic layout templates for major kinds of pages like "character" "place" etc.
   * Article main sections should start with level 2 headers (five equal signs <nowiki>----- Header -----</nowiki>) and increase by one (one less equal sign on each side) for subsections. Level one headers are reserved for the page title (six equal signs). Follow sentence style capitalization, not title style, so only the first letter of the heading and proper nouns are capitalized.
- * There should be one blank line between sections as well as one space between the equal signs and the section name for ease of editing. If any "main article" links or thumb images are used, place them immediately under the section header, and then a space after those before the section content.
