What Destinypedia is not

Destinypedia contains spoilers

Main article: Destinypedia:Spoilers Policy

Destinypedia maintains the policy of documenting all information about the Destiny universe in an "omniscient" point of view. Though there is a "spoiler" warning for content of material that has not yet been released, it is by no means used every time spoilers are present. When using Destinypedia, you will find that every article contains as complete and thorough information as is possible. If you do not wish to have the details about any Destiny related storyline spoiled for you, it would be best if you did not use Destinypedia until you have finished playing or reading through the storyline.

Destinypedia does not protect privacy

Main article: Destinypedia:Privacy Policy

Any information found on Destinypedia is not protected. The wiki format makes that impossible. Anything you put into an article or on a user page about yourself will be available to the public. In essence, you are publishing all information that you add when you edit a post.

At the same time, Destinypedia does not collect information about its users. Your IP address will be recorded only when you make an edit for the sake of attributing that edit to a specific user. Providing Destinypedia with your real name and/or E-mail address is optional. If you do not wish for any information about you to be released, do not post it on Destinypedia anywhere.

Destinypedia is not censored

Destinypedia is a wiki about the Destiny universe, including the upcoming Destiny game, whose ESRB rating is currently pending. The content of Destinypedia's articles and images will match that of the ESRB rating.
