Hello! I'm writing this just to give my opinions on certain things, and also to explain what I'm planning to do in the near future on this wiki.

Joke Edits
So, I've recently seen a lot of people talking about these 'joke edits', and I want to give my own insight on them. More specifically; don't. You may seem them as harmless, but there are many strange things about the Dream SMP lore that have indeed been confirmed. Wilbur making love with a fish, Philza making love with a smart-fridge (in the 80s might I add). I've also apparently heard that Foolish is over 20 feet tall, although I can't say for certain whether this is true. Point is, if you edit something saying that a pet is extremely heavy, or any other joke that seems harmless to you, that counts as being misleading, and people could actually believe that edit to be canonically true to the story.

Many people use this wiki - including Dream SMP members - often to verify information. You can make jokes about pets weighing multiple tonnes, but do it in the comments - not as an edit.

Canonical Deaths
Canon deaths have caused a lot of controversies, in which people are confused about what is canonical and what isn't. Here's how I verify that a death is considered 'canonical':


 * A death is usually never canonical if it is just a simple fight between two sides. For example, the deaths in the fight between the Butcher Army and Technoblade were never canonical.
 * A significant duel, such as the one between Dream and TommyInnit, counts as a canonical death.
 * Similarly, a significant fight, such as Eret's betrayal, counts as a canon death.
 * Deaths in unplanned events usually don't count as canon deaths. For example, the Third Pet War was an unplanned event, so the duel between Tommy and Sapnap did not result in any canonical deaths.
 * Don't confuse this with unplanned deaths in planned events. Technoblade shoots Schlatt and Quackity still counts, and so does Quackity shooting Schlatt, as these events were both planned in the lore.
 * A writer explicitly states that a death was canon. Wilbur and Dream have done this in the past.

This is my view on canon deaths. I'm not going to list what is and what isn't canonically a death - you can draw your own conclusions from here.

My Plans For The Future
I currently have a list on my profile of pages that I want to improve in the future. Most of them are stubs, but there are a few pages in my list with inaccurate/outdated information that I want to change. I'm probably going to be doing a lot of research whilst trying to update these pages. Despite this, I'll try to say active in the comments of this wiki, since I really like talking to people here.
