→Character ages
Line 109:
Ages are documented as their final '''on-screen''' appearance, unless that appearance is a '''non-canon''' dream or fantasy sequence. This means the [[Cutie Mark Crusaders]] are listed as Adults, despite the vast majority of their appearances as children.
==Speculation policy==
Unlike most other fan wikis, we do allow for what we refer to as "'''healthy speculation'''". Which is, speculation '''within reason'''. Essentially what this means is that unconfirmed but hinted at information can be posited in articles '''as long as you write that it's just speculative and provide sources'''. This ''usually'' just manifests as inferred plot points that are purposefully left ambiguous (most infamously being the sexualities and relationships of {{FIM|Applejack}}, {{FIM|Rainbow Dash}} and {{EQG|Rarity}}) or in familial relationships for minor characters. Below are examples of good and bad speculation:
* '''Good:''' [[Lily Pad]] is likely related to [[Victoria]] and [[Water Lily]], likely as the daughter and sister respectively. This is likely the case due to their similar appearances and because Victoria is often seen in public with either Lily Pad or Water Lily. She may also be friends with [[Mint Chip]] and [[Technicolor Waves]] as they've been seen playing together.
* '''Bad:''' {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}} may be bisexual due to her relationship with [[Sunset Shimmer]], who was confirmed to be bisexual as well.
'''Good''' speculation is using context clues to discern what the authors '''may have''' intended without claiming it as the canonical storyline. '''Bad''' speculation is using '''head canon''' based on loose events.
