Trust & Editorial
Editorial Policy
How GrowGardenGuide writes, checks, labels, and updates guide content.
About this policy
GrowGardenGuide separates durable strategy from update-sensitive claims. Durable strategy can explain how to compare crops or pets, while codes and values need extra care.
The site avoids fake urgency, invented live data, official-looking branding, and unsupported rankings. Methodology belongs here instead of being repeated across every guide.
Editorial labels
| Label | Meaning | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|
| Current | current manually or against a reliable source | Codes and value rows |
| Review after updates | Useful format but not confirmed current | Editable tables |
| Worked scenario | Illustrative input or calculation | Calculators |
| Expired | No longer active after confirmation | Codes archive |
| Updated date | Date of most recent review | Update-sensitive pages |
How editorial review works
Game features and values may change after updates.
GrowGardenGuide keeps update-sensitive claims separate from durable strategy, then refreshes pages when enough current context is available.
- Use visible reader labels.
- Date update-sensitive rows.
- Avoid fake live claims.
- Test calculator formulas.
- Keep correction path visible.
