when writing an article write about a character's WORST traits - if they redeem, fine.. we WILL NOT delete the article because many villains change with time (as do heroes) : alignments change over time.. good characters become evil due to things they face, evil characters sometimes become good or neutral for similar reasons.. villains who never redeem tend towards having a darker streak even by villainy standards as it is not natural for any character (even traditional "bad guys") to be in perma-evil mode.. most living creatures will eventually grow neutral when they either fail or realize their evil ways are no longer what they were cut out to be.

once reformed the former villain's new antics are to be placed in Heroes Wiki or similar - the ONLY time you need to add details after they reform is if they do something criminal and wicked that hints at them returning to villainy (like Discord betraying the ponies to join Tirek, that is a moment that counted.. his other minor acts before that are better left in Heroes wiki).

here's an example:

a villain tries to kill of the heroes but learned that it was somehow "wrong", maybe realizing they were becoming a "monster" - thus they decide to reform and help the heroes from that moment.. ONLY write about how they were BEFORE they decided to join the "good guys".. actions done AFTER they reform are for Heroes Wiki.. UNLESS they do a crime / major misdeed (and mischief / pranks do not count).
