	~~In the '''''~~Assassin's Creed Wiki''''', we set the canon timeline as the latest known event in the timeline. So any and all events that have already occured must be written in a encyclopedial past tense instead of a narrative present tense.

	Characters, locations, objects or events that still exist must be referred to in a present tense, as to not give the implication that they no longer exist by the time of the latest event in the series' timeline.

	~~If you need help understanding Present Tense from Past Tense, or you're just having a blank, it is encouraged to read the guidelines that are written below;~~


	~~===Past Tense===~~
	The '''past tense''' is a verb tense (or sentence) expressing action, activity, state of being in the past of the current moment (in an absolute tense system), or prior to some other event, whether that is past, present, or future (in a relative tense system).


	~~===Present Tense===~~
	~~'''Present Tense''' is the tense that may be used to express:~~
	*action at the present
	*a state of being;
	*an occurrence in the (very) near future; or
	*an action that occurred in the past and continues up to the present.


	~~===Examples:===~~
	~~Past Tense:~~

	~~<pre> Ezio 'jumped' from one rooftop to the other, but 'missed' the ledge and 'fell' into a haystack. </pre>~~



	~~Present Tense~~:

	~~<pre> Ezio 'jumps' from one rooftop to the other, but 'misses' the ledge and 'falls' into a haystack. </pre>~~

	~~===Rules===~~
	*If an article is written in '''''past tense''''', the text a user adds must ''also'' be written in '''''past tense''''' and vice versa.
	*Quotes must be '''kept in the tense they are written in'''. Regardless of the article's tense.
	*It is generally more accepted to write in past tense, unless you are writing about an '''event''' or '''battle'''.
	*Do not change articles to a tense of ~~your choice, leave it as it is unless it is mixed with the two tenses.~~
