* Don't instruct readers directly or presume their prior knowledge. Avoid injecting point of view or subjective perspective.

* Strategy sections may take some liberties with recommendations, but should explain why an outcome may or may not work.

* Quotes spoken by characters may be used outside of their original context as long as they fit the article. For example, {{HeroIcon|Mirage}}'s voice line for his {{AbilityIcon|Fire Scarabs}} ability is used to describe {{PageRef|Trooper|alt_name=Troopers}}.

* Quotes placed on top of Hero pages should hint at that hero's gameplay. For example, {{HeroIcon|Seven}}'s {{Tooltip|quotation|The masses will fall!}} suggests that his kit's AoE abilities.

** [[Unused heroes]] (e.g. {{HeroIcon|Fathom}} and {{HeroIcon|Kali}}) can instead have other characters humorously commenting on their removal

== Trivia ==

* Speculation about character backstories, relationships, or interactions should not be included under trivia. If something is mentioned or implied in the text of the game, list it under "Lore" or "Character interactions" with appropriate citations instead.

* References to real life or outside media may be included if significant or relevant enough, including references to other Valve games. Hero/Item forum suggestions may be included if credited by the devs or if they share significant aspects with the final version of the hero/item.

* Community in-jokes should not be listed under trivia unless acknowledged in the game itself or by relevant sources (e.g. the [[Slork]] joke is referenced in voice lines and ~~news articles~~).

* Community in-jokes should not be listed under trivia unless acknowledged in the game itself or by relevant sources (e.g. the [[Slork]] joke is referenced in voice lines and by developers).
