MODERATORS
Many wikis of works of fiction have this policy. The idea is to use the same tense everywhere as it decouples the fictional timeline from our time. Since a story takes place over a period of time, there is no singular in-universe 'now'. For consistency they choose to write everything from the perspective of an observer in the far future.
