Research Methodology

No source, no claim

Every factual lore statement is recorded as a claim and linked to one or more registered sources. A source must support the exact scope of the claim; a related page or search snippet is not enough.

Direct game captures and official publications are preferred. Community material can identify research leads, but it cannot be the only support for a published factual claim.

Fact, fiction and comparison

Real-world records, Division continuity and editorial comparison are labelled separately. Similarity is not treated as proof of influence, and contradictions remain visible rather than being resolved by guesswork.

Human publication gate

Automated research may reach source-reviewed status, but only a designated human editor can approve human-reviewed or published status. Review dates and unresolved notes remain attached to each record.
