** In general, the wiki has moments where the articles drop the snark and [[SugarWiki/GushingAboutShowsYouLike joyfully gush about how cool something is]]. The wiki ''is'' about a franchise that everybody editing on there passionately loves, after all.
** There are also pages for RealLife people who have worked on the series where it's made clear that the wiki admins, and fans in general, have nothing but love, respect, and admiration for. One big example is Creator/PeterCullen, whose page has little to no snark and simply plays up how great of a guy he is.
