In some cases, an entire article may have {{t|theory}} at its top. When doing so, the editor is implying there may be some leaps in absolute fact, but are nonetheless important to get correct.
 
An example of this would be the [[DakhorVoidbinding]] page,. describingSo thelittle abilitiesis ofknown Dakhorabout monks.the Thetrue precise namemechanics of this system of magic is not known, and so little is known about its true mechanicssystem that not much can authoritatively be stated to be authoritivelyas "fact." And yet, this is an important topic, that the wiki would be hurt by not having.
 
The article is written in such a way that it is impossible to not realize that there is speculation going on, but the article tries to make as much sense of the topic as possible, given what we know. Note how everything inthroughout the Abilitiesarticle sectioneverything is clearly cited, and sticks very close to information from the book.books Theand Prerequisitesrelevant section[[Coppermind:Arcanum|answers Brandon has somegiven Cosmereto knowledgereader in it, but is all citedquestions]].
 
That is how one writes theoretical content in articles properly: by staying very close to the facts, and by being essential to the quality to the wiki.
