	The following is the official '''''Assassin's Creed'' Wiki Attribution policy'''. The main space of the ''Assassin's Creed'' Wiki is not a forum for personal or original thought.

The following is the official '''''Assassin's Creed'' Wiki Attribution policy'''. The main space of the ''Assassin's Creed'' Wiki is not a forum for personal or original thought. All and any information on the Wiki must be attributed to a verifiable source, the names of which are listed below.

	Although everything on the Wiki must be attributable, in practice, not all material is attributed. Editors must provide attribution for quotations and any other material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. The burden of evidence lies with the editor wishing to add or retain the material. If an article topic has no reliable sources, the ''Assassin's Creed'' Wiki should not have an article on it.

	#'''In most cases''', the main games (as listed under the "Reliable sources" section) are the highest tier of canon. If any information given in another medium explicitly contradicts that given in these games, it is considered non-canon. For example, if ''Assassin's Creed: Renaissance'' states that it took an individual three days to travel from Venice to Florence, while ''Assassin's Creed II'' clearly indicates it only took two, the article will cite the game over the novella.		#'''In most cases''', the main games (as listed under the "Reliable sources" section) are the highest tier of canon.

	#The canonicity of media is tiered. The highest tier contains the aforementioned main games, while the second tier contains the spin-off games.
