Editorial Policy

Frickbears.com aims to separate clear facts from fan-summary language. This page explains how the site handles source dates, corrections, disclosures, and pages that answer rumor-shaped search queries without inventing confirmation.

How Facts Are Framed

Dated Claims

When a page references a current version, release date, or platform status, the text should name the relevant date rather than relying on vague phrases like "currently" without context.

Summary vs. Confirmation

Pages may summarize game structure, route requirements, or community understanding, but rumor-driven topics are labeled as status or explainer pages instead of false announcements.

Page-Specific Metadata

Every public page should carry a topic-specific title, description, canonical tag, and page heading so search engines can distinguish intent cleanly.

What Makes A Page Worth Keeping Public

The site should not publish a page only because a keyword exists. A public guide needs a clear reader job, enough original explanation to answer that job, and links that send the reader to the next useful page rather than to a random pile of related terms.

Specific Reader Intent

Each page should answer one recognizable search or browsing intent: start the series, choose a play order, download safely, understand an ending, identify a character, or solve a route/system problem.

Original Organization

Summaries should add structure, comparisons, cautions, or route context. A page that simply repeats titles, embeds, or obvious facts without explanation should be merged, expanded, or noindexed.

Maintenance Signals

Version-sensitive pages should use dated wording, official-source links where available, and correction paths. When a topic becomes stale or too thin, the cleaner fix is often to reduce the index surface rather than publish more boilerplate.

Editorial shorthand: a good guide page should feel like a labeled shelf in a library. A weak page feels like a box of loose index cards. If a reader cannot tell what the page does within the first screen, the page needs a clearer job or should be folded into a stronger hub.

Correction And Update Process

What Qualifies

  • Incorrect route requirements or outdated version references
  • Broken links to official sources or topic hubs
  • Overstated wording that implies confirmation where there is none
  • Metadata mismatches that point a page at the wrong canonical topic

How To Submit

Use editorial@frickbears.com or the general site contact email. Include the page URL and the exact issue you want reviewed.

Useful correction requests include the affected page, the section heading, the phrase that looks wrong, and the source or gameplay result that supports the change. This keeps updates focused and avoids rewriting a page around a vague concern.

Ads, External Links, And Independence

Unofficial Status

The site is a fan-run reference layer and does not claim to be the official creator or platform host.

External Destinations

Links to GameJolt, TurboWarp, GameBanana, YouTube, and social platforms are provided as navigation aids, not ownership claims.

Advertising

If advertising appears on the site, editorial pages remain structured around reader intent first rather than pure ad placement.

No page should ask users to click ads, disguise ads as navigation, or use download-style labels for advertising placements.

Practical boundary: ads and analytics can help run the site, but they are not the reason a guide exists. The reason a guide exists is that a reader has a real question and the page gives a clear answer with enough context to choose the next step.
