Editor Brief
This page is written as a working guide, not a finished wiki dump. Use the confirmed notes first, then treat source-pending rows as a checklist for what still needs gameplay proof.
Current source note: This page defines editorial evidence rules. It does not validate any specific submitted gameplay claim.
Media status
No Public Gameplay Embed Yet
This article keeps the media area honest: no fake screenshots, no decorative gameplay claims, and no third-party stills republished as site assets. When a source clip is approved, this block becomes the video player and timestamp map.

No Gameplay Fact Without Metadata
This site should not turn a screenshot, clip, player comment, or YouTube guide into a final gameplay claim unless the evidence includes enough context to verify it. Every submitted fact should include what was captured, where it came from, when it was captured, which game version and platform it used, and whether it contains spoilers.
- Required: source link, screenshot or video proof, timestamp, platform, game version, and capture date.
- Required for video: exact timestamp range and what the viewer should look at.
- Required for spoilers: spoiler level and where the spoiler begins.
What Counts As Strong Evidence
Strong evidence is specific, repeatable, and tied to a version. A boss move needs the boss name, phase or health range if visible, clip timestamp, result context, and platform. A song or BPM claim needs audio/capture source, measurement method, offset notes, and version. Unlock and reward claims need result, inventory, achievement, or menu proof.
- Boss claims: phase, move, trigger, punish window, clip timestamp, and result context.
- Song/BPM claims: song title, BPM method, offset/calibration note, timestamp, and version.
- Reward/unlock claims: unlock condition, result screen, inventory/menu proof, and last checked date.
How Editors Should Label Submissions
Submissions should enter the guide database as evidence, not as final copy. Editors should label each item as verified public info, partially verified, or needs in-game check. If evidence is incomplete, the page can still mention the topic as launch placeholder, needs gameplay verification, or source pending, but it should not publish final values or routes.
- Verified public info: official public source supports the claim.
- Partially verified: topic is real, but details still need capture or cross-checking.
- Needs in-game check: do not publish as final gameplay guidance.

FAQ
Can a YouTube guide be used as evidence?
Yes, but it needs a source URL, exact timestamp, what the clip proves, platform or version context when visible, and a spoiler label. A long video link without timestamps is not enough for final claims.
What happens when evidence is incomplete?
The topic can be logged as source pending or needs gameplay verification, but exact Boss moves, BPM values, rewards, unlocks, ranks, and fixes should stay unpublished.
