Arrowverse Wiki:Policies and guidelines/Point of view

Around Arrow Wiki we use different sorts of point of view for different situations.

In-universe
An in-universe point of view is used on mainspace pages that aren't related to production of the shows. This includes pages such as characters, locations, objects etc. These pages are written as if you are in the universe of Arrow and The Flash yourself, as if you were side by side with Oliver Queen.

Tense
Tense can be varied in these articles, depending on what you're writing. Generally for character pages, specifically the biographies, they must be written in past tense as they're an event that's already occurred. The rest of the article really depends on the situation, but if for example you're writing a section about how Oliver can fight well hand-to-hand, it should be present tense, as he is still currently achieving that "title". There is of course the exception that, if the character has died, then past tense is generally used unless present is ultimately necessary.

Out-of-universe
For production-related articles, such as episodes or seasons or actors, these articles must be written from a production stand point, a seemingly objective view.

Tense
As is the norm for anywhere, present tense must be used on actor/crew articles, unless they're deceased of course. As for season articles, episodes or television series, present tense is what should be used, as it's not as if they're a past event; these shows or episodes or whatever it might be: they still exist.
