Equestripedia was founded with the basic idea to have information on '''everything''' in the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' franchise. Yes, '''everything'''. Every character, place, object, story, product, staff, etc, is worthy of being covered on the wiki. This does not mean everything gets an article, but everything gets covered in some capacity.
In short, everything with a name (canon or fanon), title, or significant appearance gets covered on the wiki. Subjects that do not have enough information to warrant a full page should instead be merged with another page or apart of a list.
==
===Spinoffs===
In the 80s and 90s, Hasbro produced a number of toylines and even some media franchises that used the ''My Little Pony'' label. These include ''[[My Little Kitty]]'', ''[[My Little Puppy]]'', ''[[My Little Mermaid]]'', ''[[My Little Bunny]]'', and the daringly titled, ''[[Fairy Tails]]''. These series are given equal coverage as they are apart of the greater ''[[My Little Pony]]'' brand.
''Equestria Girls'' is given equal coverage.
===Crossovers===
Crossovers are covered as extensively as any other media. Characters, places, objects, concepts, etc, from crossovers are covered on the wiki (see: [[Megatron]], [[Dan Mandel]], [[Cobra Commander]]), however, they are only covered as far as they're relevant in crossover media. As such, their images, history, personality sections, ect, should only reflect how they're presented in the crossover. You can write about their history and characterization in the original properties in the "Behind the scenes" section, but it has to be kept brief.
===Anthologies===
Different from crossovers are anthology releases, such as ''[[Synergy: A Hasbro Creators Showcase]]'', an anthology comic tat featured stories from various [[Hasbro]] media, including ''My Little Pony''. The comic itself and all staff members are allowed pages, but stories not featuring MLP characters are not.
===Segmented media===
The original airing of ''[[My Little Pony (TV series)|My Little Pony]]'' included unrelated shows, ''[[The Glo Friends]]'', ''[[MoonDreamers]]'' and the ''[[Potato Head Kids]]''. We currently have no hard standards for these. They are ''technically'' media under the MLP branding, as opposed to the aforementioned anthologies which were media that ''used'' the MLP brand, and thus for now at least, they may be covered.
==In-universe topics covered==
===Characters===
Any character with an official name or title is given a page, this goes from anyone from {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}} to [[Waiter (At a Restaurant)|an unnamed waiter]], though if they rely soley on a title for relevancy, then they must have something notable about them. This can just be dialogue or some role in a story. Characters with fan names are also allowed
Characters who do not appear in fiction but in toys are allowed pages if they meet the former guidelines.
