The best ways to ensure that a bit of text is telling the truth is to have something to back it up. Given that Pikipedia is a wiki mostly written and read by fans of the series, simple facts, like "[[Captain Olimar]] is the main character in {{p1}}" aren't doubted – almost all fans know this to be fact, and the ones that don't can easily check the games themselves or check countless external sources. | The best ways to ensure that a bit of text is telling the truth is to have something to back it up.

However, some pages may have some information that is very hard to believe. This could be because it is hard for players to check by playing the games, or because it is something that is not well known by the public. To help prove that that is not made up, the goal is to include some proof next to any dubious claims. This can be an image, a video, a quote from one of the games, a link to an external website specializing on the matter, or anything else that serves as proof. Fan-driven research and experiments (even by Pikipedia users) are also valid, provided that they're well thought out, and other users don't disagree with them. | However, some pages may have some information that is very hard to believe.
