This will be something a bit too difficult to enforce, so past tense would merely be a preference rather than an actual rule. At the end of the day, it's most important to keep a consistent tense within your own articles. I haven't seen it that much, but there have been times when I've seen pages switch back and forth between present and past tense which makes reading them a bit awkward.
