Qix Wiki:Remaining objective
Qix Wiki strives to remain as objective as possible in its documentation of content. Content should not be written to favor certain versions or releases of a title over another, disparage game mechanics, or criticize development processes. This also should apply to coverage of people, like programmers, speedrunners, or producers.
Remaining objective effectively means to write without bias or emotional influence. Articles are meant to inform and educate readers, not provide commentary or opinions. Should an article contain biased writing, it should either be handled directly or have Template:Bias added to it, requesting assistance.
Actions taken by people or organizations may be unsavory or controversial, which is not a discussion for Qix Wiki to indulge with. These decisions or outcomes should be as emotionally removed/factual as possible, only to document the event that occurred and/or the outcomes that followed. Specific reactions (unless necessary for context), should not be included. The same philosophy should apply to gameplay as well: A mechanic does not "suck", but instead its "behavior did not work as intended".
Gameplay and strategy should be written carefully. Some methods of play will, in nature, work more often than other methods of play, but Qix Wiki affirms that these are simply the most popular or generally accepted methods for successful gameplay—strategies presented are not the only means of playing the games successfully. They are suggested for use, not mandatory.
