**''[[Bloons Adventure Time TD]]'' is just as much a part of ''Bloons'' as ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', so the game gets the same degree of coverage, even for the stuff from ''Adventure Time''. Only ''Adventure Time'' subjects that are relevant to ''BATTD'' receive coverage (sorry Lich), and only for their roles within the game. For example, it's fine to mention that [[Ice King]] is obsessed with princesses because that aspect of his character is also present in ''BATTD'', but the fact that he used to be a human should be ignored because that is never acknowledged within the game. | **''[[Bloons Adventure Time TD]]'' is just as much a part of ''Bloons'' as ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', so the game gets the same degree of coverage, even for the stuff from ''Adventure Time''.

*All companies involved in the creation of ''Bloons'' media receive coverage. Their articles should mainly describe their involvement with ''Bloons'' and only list the ''Bloons'' media they were involved in. Modern Times Group is not currently covered because they appear to have very little involvement with ''Bloons'' besides owning [[Ninja Kiwi]]. | *All companies involved in the creation of ''Bloons'' media receive coverage.

*Non-''Bloons'' media that contains significant ''Bloons'' content or interacts with official ''Bloons'' media in some way gets coverage, but only for the content relevant to ''Bloons''. For example, [[Ninja Kiwi Archive]] has an article, but it only covers the ''Bloons'' games it contains, and [[Wheel of Fate]] gets an article, but it only covers the ''Bloons''-related prizes. | *Non-''Bloons'' media that contains significant ''Bloons'' content or interacts with official ''Bloons'' media in some way gets coverage, but only for the content relevant to ''Bloons''.
