Editorial & Fact-Verification Policy
Our governing principles of accuracy, anti-hallucination standards, and player trust.
1. The Zero-Hallucination Mandate
The integrity of a gaming encyclopedia relies entirely on factual truth. In building PetitPlanetGuide.wiki, we enforce an absolute prohibition against:
- Fabricating characters, animal neighbors, species names, or personality traits.
- Inventing unannounced crafting blueprints, tools, or planetary coordinates.
- Publishing unconfirmed release dates as definite facts.
- Presenting community rumors, forum speculation, or datamined unverified placeholders as official features.
2. Three-Tier Fact Classification System
To provide absolute clarity to our readers, every entity, guide, and data sheet on our website is labeled with one of three explicit confidence classifications:
| Badge | Verification Standard | Permitted Content |
|---|---|---|
| Official Confirmed | Published directly by HoYoverse on official channels (planet.hoyoverse.com, official trailers, press releases). | Release windows, confirmed launch platforms, official lore, organizational names. |
| Confirmed in Beta | Observed, verified, and cross-checked by beta participants during official testing (Coziness Test, Habitable Test, Starsea Voyage Test). | Neighbor gift tastes, crafting recipes, terraforming mechanics, hardware performance thresholds. |
| Beta Speculation / Under Audit | Unconfirmed community observations or preliminary findings awaiting official confirmation. | Clearly labeled rumors, potential future platform ports (e.g. Switch 2), and unfinalized balance numbers. |
3. Anti-Low-Quality Bulk Content Policy
We do not gauge our success by the gross volume of pages generated. We deliberately reject:
- Programmatically scraping third-party fan sites or replicating competitor text with synonym swapping.
- Creating hundreds of empty "stub" pages containing only a character name and empty placeholder boxes.
- Using artificial intelligence to generate verbose, repetitive FAQ fluff designed purely for keyword stuffing.
Every single page published on PetitPlanetGuide.wiki must answer genuine player questions and deliver tangible information gain or interactive functional utility.
4. Correction & Revision Protocols
Game development is dynamic, especially during pre-release testing. When mechanics or statistics are adjusted in new patches:
- We immediately update the relevant page with a clear "Last Updated" timestamp.
- Material changes to previously reported facts are logged with an explanatory editor's note.
- Readers and playtesters who identify inaccuracies are encouraged to contact our team directly via our Corrections Channel. Verified corrections are processed within 24 hours.
