The professors occasionally give interviews, AMAs, etc. They answer questions.
At these events, some questions asked might be of a personal nature, like "How are the Experiments doing?" Some questions might involve other real-world happenings, like "Do you have leads on a new T-shirt designer?" These are not of much interest to the wiki. (Some, but not much, especially given their ephemeral nature. Anything the professors wanted us to know on this front would probably be announced.)
Some questions might involve issues the professors would probably consider spoilers, like "Is the plan still to travel to Africa?"; "Where is Skifander, anyway?"; "Who is Agatha going to pick, Gil, Tarvek, both, or neither?". These questions are hardly worth asking. (Especially if the Professoressa is present. One might get spoilery artwork out of the Professor.)
Some questions might be completely irrelevant to the plot. The prototype here is, "What color is Yoda's blood?" There might even be questions to which they don't really want to admit the true answer, like "What's the deal with cheese?"
But finally, there are questions on the wiki that are relevant to the plot but are probably not spoilers. It's simply the case that there are some things that have already happened which have left us uncertain and, this wiki being what it is, have created a lot of perhaps needless speculation and equivocation.
This is a list of those questions for the next time. When answers are obtained, update the relevant pages and then items may be deleted.
- Veilchen is obviously a Smoke Knight. Right?
- Who (or what) is hidden in the chair ✣ talking to Lucrezia-in-Agatha in Sturmhalten? (Obviously, "Lunevka"'s head ✣ .)
- Before Veilchen sneaks up on him in Sturmhalten, is Tarvek actually Heterodyning? In that scene, did Tarvek detect Veilchen with a "simple device" disguised as a watch, or was it really just a watch and Tarvek knew Veilchen was there simply because he could smell him?
- Is Tarvek the "insufferable nephew" to whom Rudolf Selnikov's titles and lands reverted, or was it indeed Martellus von Blitzengaard? (Maybe not that relevant.)
- What was the three-light device for and what did the three lights of the display represent?
- Is Eye Guy who spoke to Ariadne Steelgarter the same as Kjarl Thotep?
- Who murdered Smokes?
- Will Bohrlaikha ever make a reappearance in the story? (Perhaps too trivial, or a spoiler.)
- Is the scar that seems to go all the way around Bang's neck ✣ real? What caused it? (Possibly too spoilery.)
- What does a vozzler actually do? (I'm guessing the Foglios won't answer this one.)[1]
Also, there are articles for which we are unsure about an important character's appearance.
- Captain Amit Patel. Is the old sketch we have accurate, or is he pictured on 2012-01-18 (Wednesday) ✣ ?

- ↑ I think the Foglios won't say what a vozzler does because they have no idea. It's just something they made up for fun, like the thing on Maxim's right arm. And now they're enjoying themselves too much teasing their readers with it to spoil the fun. There is also a tiny chance that it may figure into the plot later, so they won't talk about it because it would be a spoiler.
