===Tense=== In general, articles should use the past tense to describe their subject. The primary exception is when the person, Age, etc. is still alive, or is still accessible in the present day. In particular, Ages β while they may technically still exist β are considered to be a part of history if our fictional inhabitant of the D'ni universe cannot travel to the Cavern and go there themselves today. Generally speaking, it is best practice to follow Wikipedia's style guidelines on the use of tense in an article. ====Consistency==== Articles should use a consistent tense throughout, except when dealing with subjects such as those mentioned above. In cases where the present tense is used to denote that a subject exists in the present day, the past tense should be constrained to the portion of the article dealing with that subject's history. ====Examples==== * "Yeesha is the daughter of Atrus and Catherine..." * "The Selenitic Age was written by Atrus..." * "The Pento were a race who lived on the Pento Age..." * "D'ni is located in a cavern beneath the state of New Mexicoβ¦"
