Quick examples
Use URLs to confirm the right reference
A Jon Snow search returns url, name, gender, culture, born, died, titles, and aliases. url identifies the individual resource; name is the displayed name. titles and aliases are lists, so one title or nickname does not summarize a character’s full history. Use the returned URL to open the specific entry before linking two similarly named people.
- Empty died, father, mother, or spouse fields represent the source response; do not confirm narrative absence from them.
- born and culture are entry text, not normalised dates or proof of origin outside the work.
Links are URLs, not a ready-made family tree
father, mother, spouse, and allegiances can return URLs or be empty. For a house, currentLord, heir, overlord, founder, cadetBranches, and swornMembers also point to other resources. Follow each URL to inspect the related entry; a link alone does not state period, reciprocity, current status, or every relevant relationship.
- swornMembers can be a long list; treat URLs as references, not a claim that every person has equal importance.
- For narrative facts, open the appropriate work or source instead of inferring a story from listed relations.
Books and series point to presence, not to a scene
books and povBooks return book URLs; tvSeries contains season labels; playedBy lists associated performers. For Jon Snow, these fields help locate book and series references, but do not tell the context of a scene or prove equivalence between text and adaptation. Open the book resource and confirm the corresponding work before quoting, summarising, or comparing.
- tvSeries lists seasons, not episodes, appearance length, or cast status.
- Before reusing performer names or adaptation data, confirm the source and production scope.
