However, there are some occasions where theories and speculation is acceptable. These are the instances when the article at hand would be ''critically incomplete'' without the speculation. For example, for a long time, the true nature of [[Seon]]s was unknown, but once Brandon revealed the existence of Splinters and that Splinters can have thoughts of their own, it was commonly thought that Seons were Splinters of the [[Shard]] relating to [[~~Aons~~AonDor]] (later revealed to be [[Devotion]]). This is the type of thing that an article on Seons would be incomplete without mentioning, and would serve readers of the wiki poorly if it was not mentioned. Thus, the golden rule of speculation is: '''if the article would not be considered content-complete without this speculative information, include the speculation.''' Generally, most speculative material will be [[Cosmere]]-based, as a quote on one thing could have clear ramifications on other planets or magics entirely. Noncosmere works, however, are not excluded from these policies on speculative content.
