Girl Genius:Speculation

Not all speculation belongs in the main articles. If the wiki is to be at all useful to new readers, articles in the main namespace should be written in an encyclopedia format; straight-forward, informative, concise, and free of bias.

Mad theories
One of the best things about being a fan of Girl Genius is the exchange of mad theories with other diehard fans, so speculation of any kind is welcomed and encouraged here. Please keep all such madness appropriately contained in one of the following places:


 * Fan Theories Forum: This is the best place to post speculation if you would like others to comment.


 * Mad pages: Sometimes a certain subject will invite a great deal of speculation, and so they have a companion article called a mad page. Ideally, mad pages will contain fan theories and links to all fan theories on that subject.


 * User pages: Users are also able to create pages under their own user space. This is ideal for articles over which you would like to retain creative control.

Reasonable speculation
Very reasonable speculation may be included within the body of an article if such statements are appropriately phrased and qualified. Take care not to make assumptions about what is "reasonable", however, as the source material for this wiki often throws curveballs.

For an excellent example of reasonable speculation within a main article, see Zeetha, Daughter of Chump.

Trivia
Trivia is not speculation and should be included in the main article under its own subsection (frequently listed as Outside world or Possibly relevant outside information). Trivia may include such things as the etymology of a character's name, in-jokes, sources of inspiration for the artist, or statements by the author.
