Writing style

 * All articles on the wiki are written in US English.
 * Everything in the article should be written in the present tense, except the "History" section, this should be written in the past tense.
 * Articles should be written in an in-universe style, and not refer to the reader or viewer when talking about events. This means that terms like "in chapter" are not suitable.
 * Articles should be independent of any point in the series, it should not be required that pages be updated every time a new event happens in the timeline simply because articles were written from the perspective of someone reading on the latest chapter.
