Verb Tense
I noticed a change made yesterday to a verb tense. Someone changed "is PKKed by Haseo" to "was PKKed by Haseo" and left the rest of the article the same -.-. Technically, when referring to a written work the present tense is correct, and a historical event would be past tense. I'm guessing (judging from most of the site) written work is the tense usage we're going for? (Sorry, my mom's an English teacher so I had grammar boiled into my brain as soon as I could speak).--TristanLight 07:54, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I haven't really been paying attention to which tense we've been using. I just write whatever sounds right. >_> Kulaguy 17:10, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Tense
What tense should we be using? I feel we should use present, yet past tenses seem to come up every now and again. Kulaguy 07:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I would say past tense, given .hack's sliding time-scale. AuraTwilight 17:48, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think this is a good reason why. - Kuukai2 06:39, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Hm, I've been pretty much using present tense in whatever I've worked on. Then again, I feel like I need to go back and edit some of the lengthier articles I wrote, so I don't have much of a problem going back and fixing tense if we want to stick to past tense Wiki-wide.  It's just not my preference is all.--OtakuD50 10:15, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * After giving it some thought... just now... and looking at that link I decided that .hack is not Star Trek, and that it would be for the best to write events in present tense, while writing of events that occur prior to the subject at hand in the past tense. If it sounds like a fair deal I'll add that to the MoS.--OtakuD50 12:06, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
