I have no plans to make articles about real people. There is an article about [[Adrian]], but I didn't make it: Adrian did. "[[Xan]]" currently redirects to Xan's user page (which she made). I have no plans to write articles for other real people, even those who appear in [[TTMTTP]].
 
==Thinking Too Much To Think Positively==
==References to Non-Xan Entertainment Media==
On Discord, Xan said "I think I'd prefer the new incarnation of the wiki to focus on Pandora's Tale and not my other work. By all means mention it, but since my other comics involve real people I'd prefer it if we didn't get too in depth with them." When asked for clarification, she said she also wanted me to delete the Disgruntled Catgirl family of articles. Though PTW has never covered the parts of TTMTTP about real people, I will henceforth also avoid other parts of TTMTTP unless they are directly tied with Pandora's Tale (such as [[Texts from Pandora]]).
''Thinking Too Much To Think Positively'' contains many direct representations of entertainment media that was not originally created by Xan. I am not interested in covering that material on this wiki: most such media has other wikis dedicated to it elsewhere. In cases where Xan says certain plot points in ''[[Pandora's Tale]]'' were inspired by other media, I might note such statements in the article's trivia section.

==On the lack of an article for That Guy==
[[That Guy]]<ref>https://mastodon.art/@comicsbyxan/110006591742774030</ref><ref>https://archive.today/KO2fv</ref><ref>https://mastodon.art/@comicsbyxan/110622038706182520</ref><ref>https://archive.today/D9GU8</ref>, also known as That Cis Guy, Random Jerk<ref>https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/statistical-noise/</ref>, Generic Jerk, Blondie, and James Pierrepont Finch III, does not currently have an article. He is not from non-Xan media, nor is he a real person, so he is eligible for an article. There are two reasons he doesn't have one yet. Firstly, I just haven't been motivated to make one. Additionally, I think it is funny to imagine how he would react if he read the wiki and found out he didn't have an article.
 
Note that if I did create an article for him, "That Guy" would be considered an unofficial name, since we've only heard it in the scripts.
