This wiki generally takes three things into consideration that can be used as "evidence" (to be cited in the lore sections of articles, for example): item descriptions, character dialogue, and developer interviews. Which one should take priority in the case of contradictions is hard to say, however In the case of Dark Souls? Intro, item descriptions and gameplay mechanics are the only sources of information that can be considered 100% "true".
