Call of Duty Wiki:Call of Duty Wiki is not...

The Call of Duty Wiki is many things. This page lists what Call of Duty Wiki is not.

...always correct
With being a wiki, and being able for close to anything being able to be changed by anyone, there are times when people will change the content of a page to be incorrect. For example, someone may change a line in an article that said something like "Private Bob Harding was killed at the Battle of Stavelo." to "Private Bob Harding survived the Battle of Stavelo, and received the Medal of Honor, and was promoted to General.".

...fanon
There are two things in most fictional universes: canon and fanon.

Canon is official stuff, like Brooklyn getting killed by artillery, MacTavish's nicknamed being "Soap", and the 2nd Ranger Battalion taking Wellendar.

Fanon can be two things. It can be fan fiction (fan( ficti)on), and it can be unofficial, but most of the time widely accepted, facts. A prime example is that both Captain Prices are either the same person, or are father and son.

Call of Duty Wiki may unintentionally contain fanon, but we try not to.

The dedicated Call of Duty Fanon Wiki is located here.

...a crystal ball
The Call of Duty Wiki cannot predict the future. Articles are not the place for speculation of any kind. Any future content should be confirmed by an official source before being used in main space articles.

...a site for anything not on Call of Duty
The majority of the Call of Duty series is a bunch of World War II shooters, as we all know. Just because the majority of our articles are on World War II does not mean that other World War II things (like Medal of Honor, Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan) should be written about here.

This doesn't have to just apply to World War II topics, though. Any pages, or content within pages, that aren't related to Call of Duty will be removed.

...a blog
Simple. Call of Duty Wiki is not a blog.

...a clan
Though it's quite possible that multiple members of the Call of Duty Wiki may be in the same clan, we are not a clan.

...a dictatorship
The Call of Duty Wiki is not ruled by one person without question.

...official
This site is 100% fan-maintained. Everyone here is just fans. No one here (barring the rare) works for any of the Call of Duty-making companies.

...an oligarchy
The Call of Duty Wiki is not ruled by a select group of people without question.

...a republic
We do not vote on a single user to be the leader of us for a set amount of time.

...a democracy
Rather than follow a majority rules system, the Call of Duty Wiki goes by community consensus. Additionally, not every single user gets to vote on every decision.

...Wikipedia
Even though the format of this site and Wikipedia is similar, and the basis that it is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, Call of Duty Wiki is not Wikipedia. It is not even owned by the Wikimedia foundation. Call of Duty Wiki is owned by Wikia.
