Sources & Editorial Policy

Publisher and maintenance

GamesDataHub publishes and maintains this website's game pages and tools. Our source notes identify the external creators and publishers whose material supports the information on a page. See About GamesDataHub for website ownership and contact details.

Source information

We record the sources used for published game information. Official announcements, game documentation, creator demonstrations and community reports may provide different levels of evidence. We identify the basis of a claim rather than treating every source as equivalent.

Code status

Code entries are grouped by current creator listing, earlier creator listing, and publisher report. Each entry shows the source check date. A successful redemption label is used only when a dated game result was recorded.

Active means the creator currently publishes the code or a reviewed guide lists it as working. Expired means a reviewed source explicitly reports it inactive. Check is used when availability has no clear supporting report or sources disagree. Source details retain the evidence and review date.

Calculators

Each published calculator explains its inputs, formula, assumptions and known limitations. Results are estimates unless the tool explicitly explains why an output is exact. Random outcomes are not guaranteed.

Updates and corrections

Reviewing a source, changing a page and testing a code are different actions. Dates should describe the action actually taken. Corrections are reflected in the relevant data and, where meaningful, the page's update notes.

  • A page update date records a change to the page or its game data.
  • A source check date records when the cited material was reviewed, whether or not the review found a change.
  • A successful redemption date records a dated in-game result. A source report that a code is working does not establish a successful redemption by GamesDataHub.

Reformatting or editing wording does not reset source check or successful redemption dates. Those dates change only when the corresponding review or test takes place.

Automation

Automation may assist with formatting, data checks and identifying possible updates. It does not by itself establish that a game mechanic or code has been tested.
