Good article

A good article is an article that has been deemed good in terms of reliability, credibility and accuracy. It being written with a neutral point of view and having cited sources such as screenshots, videos or things that accurately depict the topic at hand, such sources being things like message screenshots from a Discord server, or a video showing that happens. Good articles also explain the topic at hand in a detail matter and can get the point across.

Lack neutrality

A lacking neutrality article is an article that is not written in a neutral point of view and so has been marked with the indicator as a warning for anyone reading, typically these articles are re-written by different editors.

Stub

A stub is a article that is lacking in detail/too short, typically this is given to unfinished articles that no longer deem WiP status.

Requesting article indication

If an editor believes a page is deemable for a specific kind of indicator, then they must bring it up in the #Wiki-discussions channel in the Discord and the owner grandhappy or a wiki administrator will review it. Note, contributors are discussed by the wiki team on who is deemable of being a large contributor of an article. Usually it just involves having done multiple edits of good proportions adding accurate and constructive data to the page.
