Qix Wiki maintains a particular '''scope''' when it comes to documenting content. While it does seek to document the Qix series as best possible, there are limits as to what gets covered.

==Games==
Qix or Qix-styled games are quite plentiful, to the degree that the franchise is some of the most copied or cloned video games ever<ref>[https://www.denofgeek.com/games/the-top-10-most-cloned-videogames/ Den of Geek]</ref>. In order to properly filter out appropriate, dedicated releases, the following criteria must be met:
*The game existed. No rumors or speculation permitted.
*The game must have had a dedicated or planned console release, or be released to non-smartphone mobile devices, or be an officially registered web release. Games that '''only''' appear on the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store, or Huawei AppGallery do not meet this criteria and should not be included.
*The game is in someway referential to Qix-style gameplay. Gameplay does not need to 1:1 match up to exactly how Qix operates, but must clearly be designed to replicate, function similarly, or draw major inspiration from the Qix franchise.
*Not Safe For Work (NSFW) titles are permitted to be covered, but images demonstrating inappropriate, lewd, or otherwise objectionable content are not allowed and will be removed on-sight.

Should a game not meet these criteria but still be believed to be notable, or a game covered appears to not meet the scope requirements, it should be discussed via talk page (either on the game itself, or [[Qix Wiki talk:Scope|this policy's talk page]]). If there is enough consensus that something meets the criteria, or should bend these policies, it should be clearly noted on the talk page of the game.

==Companies==
Generally speaking, the following types of companies should have pages:
*Developers
*Publishers
*Distributors (if different from publishers)
*Console designers

==People==
Real people may warrant their own pages. Examples of people who are notable to have their own pages include:
*Development teams
**Programmers
**Musicians/Composers
**Artists
**Directors/Management
*Major speedrunners or high-scoring players
*Other influential figures

==Consoles==
Any video game console with a full release of a game should receive a page. Consoles where games were only ''planned'' but never saw releases should not receive pages. Mobile devices, browsers, and operating systems should not receive pages.

==Speedrunning and High Scores==
Speedrunning and competitive Scoring, as a subjective and often changing topic, should only be documented in the Competitive: namespace. Only the active top five times or scores should be documented, with the exception of ties, where each tie should be documented as well. Qix Wiki is not a platform to self-promote Qix leaderboards, and should not be interpreted as such: This wiki is merely documenting an important aspect to gameplay.

==Non-Qix content==
It is exceedingly rare to need to document materials that do not relate to Qix gameplay directly in any format. These pages should be made sparingly and deliberately, only when absolutely necessary to understand a particular subject or fill a gap left by others affiliated sites.

==References==
