Editing GoArch:Point of view (section)

==Out-of-cavern point of view==
Sometimes, it is necessary to step back and look at the D'ni universe as a work of fiction, such as when discussing the games, novels, actors, developers, etc. These articles should use the {{tlx|OOC}} template at the top of the section or page using the OOC point of view, and tense should mirror that of a contemporary encyclopedia.

===The meta-universe===
Because of Cyan's efforts to tie the D'ni universe into our modern day world, the Myst series is something that technically exists within the D'ni universe. It was created by Cyan (now Cyan Worlds) after Rand and Robyn Miller went on an expedition to D'ni with the DRC in 1991. As a result, the Myst games can, under certain circumstances, be referred to in in-cavern articles, without breaking the article's point of view. However, this exception does ''not'' extend to Uru in any of its incarnations. As far as the D'ni universe is concerned, ''Uru'' does not exist. It can be referenced in category names for organizational purposes, and can be referred to in other out-of-cavern contexts, but in-cavern articles ''must'' refrain from mentioning it in an in-cavern context.

If you're confused right now, don't worry, you are not alone. The Guild of Archivists is here to help, however, so if you have questions about whether you're using the proper point of view in an article, feel free to ask.
