* Do not create new articles about the game until it is released, except the game's article itself. (This means no articles about new enemies, areas, etc.)
* No speculation or leaks should be documented, only confirmed information.
* When naming something you don't know, go for "Unknown red bird enemy", not the speculative "Winged Red Bulborb" or the cryptic "Unknown enemy 1".
* Do not create new articles about the game until it is released, except for the game's article itself. (This means no articles about new enemies, areas, etc.)
* If something from a previous game is returning, the article about that topic may be edited to reflect this, but only if it is absolutely certain that this feature is in the new game.
* When naming something you don't know, go for a descriptive name like "Unknown red bird enemy", rather than a speculative name like "Winged Red Bulborb" or a cryptic name like "Unknown enemy 1".
