[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], the free encyclopedia, is the largest and most successful wiki. This page lists some of the overarching guidelines that have helped make ''Wikipedia'' a success. You may like to consider them for this Wikia.
  
   
  +
:'''See Also:''' ''[[Rules: Editors| Editing Guide]]
−
# '''BE BOLD!''' in updating pages. Go ahead, it's a wiki! <br />Encourage others, including those who disagree with you, likewise to '''BE BOLD!'''
  
⚫
# '''Be civil''' to other users at all times.
  
−
# '''Ignore all rules'''. If the rules discourage you from improving or maintaining the wiki's quality, ignore them.
  
−
# '''When in doubt, take it to the [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]'''. We have all the time in the world. Mutual respect is the guiding behavioural principle of Wikia and, although everyone knows that their writing may be edited mercilessly, it is easier to accept changes if the reasons for them are understood. If you discuss changes on the article's ''talk'' (or ''discussion'') page before you make them, you should reach consensus faster and happier.
 
−
#'''[[Project:Copyrights|Respect copyright]]'''. Wikia uses the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License GNU Free Documentation License]. Everything you contribute must be compatible with that license.
 
−
# '''Decent edit summaries''' and clear and transparent explanations are universally appreciated. Other editors need to understand your process, and it also helps you yourself to understand what you did after a long leave of absence from an article. Please state '''''what''''' you changed and '''''why'''''. If the explanation is too long, add more on the discussion page.
  
⚫
#'''Assume good faith'''; in other words, try to consider that the person on the other end of the discussion is a thinking, rational being who is trying to positively contribute to the project — unless, and only unless, you have firm, solid, and objective proof to the contrary. Merely disagreeing with you is no such proof.
 
−
#Particularly, '''don't revert good faith edits'''. [[Help:Reverting|Reverting]] is ''too'' powerful sometimes. Don't succumb to the temptation, unless you're reverting very obvious vandalism <small>(like "LALALALAL*&*@#@THIS_SUX0RZ", or someone changing "1+2=3" to "1+2='''17'''")</small>. If you really can't stand something, revert once, with an edit summary something like "(rv) I disagree strongly, I'll explain why in talk." and immediately take it to talk.
  
−
# '''No personal attacks'''. Don't write that user such and so is an idiot, or insult him/her (even if (s)he ''is'' an idiot). Instead, explain what they did wrong, why it is wrong, and how to fix it. If possible, fix it yourself (but see above).
  
−
# '''Be graceful''': ''Be liberal in what you accept, be conservative in what you do''. Try to accommodate other people's quirks the best you can, but try to be as polite, solid, and straightforward as possible yourself.
  
−
# '''Sign your posts on talk pages''' using <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, which gets replaced by your username and timestamp when you hit Save. But don't sign on mainspace articles.
  
−
# '''Use the preview button'''; it prevents edit conflicts.

Rules: General Interaction

  • Be civil to other users at all times
    • Never resort to personal insults, aggression, or revealing personal information
  • Do not make demands of editors
    • Our editors are volunteers who work out of a passion for this franchise. If they make a mistake, be polite.
    • If you want specific content added, feel free to edit yourself. If you struggle with the know-how, please ask a moderator or administrator and will we gladly answer questions or explain site usage
  • Assume good faith
    • Try to consider that the person on the other end of the discussion is a thinking, rational being who is trying to positively contribute to the project. Even if something seems like "trolling" or "vandalism", can sometimes be borne from a lack of knowledge about wiki
  • When in doubt, talk to the admins
    • We're always happy to help settle dispute and answer questions; we aim to be objective, weigh up all sides, and come to an impartial decision in all matters
  • No role-play anywhere on site
    • You must speak only as yourself to others, and not as your fictionkin self or favourite role-play.

Rules: Fanworks

  • No fanworks
    • No articles can contain links to off-site fan-materials (especially download links)
    • Fanworks must not be used in any form; no fanart in galleries, fanfiction in articles, etc.
    • This also includes scanlations, or fan-subbed works; only ever link to official materials

Rules: Bots

  • Do not use bots without admin or staff permission
    • This is for several reasons: a) we have a bot that we use for mass edits, b) it can artificially inflate one's edit count, and c) there are many variables that can make such bots go awry, which leaves work for our editors, moderators, and administrators

Rules: Blocks/Bans

If one account is banned then all accounts are banned (the block is on the user, not the account)

Temporary Blocks/Bans

  • Warnings for minor infractions
    • If you have broken a rule, you may receive an official warning and/or temporary ban by our administrators
    • If you have received a warning, you may receive a second warning and/or a temporary ban, depending on the nature of the infraction, at the discretion of the administrator
    • If you get three warnings, we will implement a ban for an appropriate amount of time proportionate to the infraction type. This may be permanent depending on the nature of the infraction

Permanent Blocks/Bans

  • Permanent ban for abuse of others
    • This community must be a safe space for all people. If anyone is caught engaging in hate speech, harassment, or verbal abuse, then we will implement a permanent ban and we will not accept appeals on this decision.
  • Persistent rule-breaking
    • On your third ban, you may be permanently banned from the wiki

Appeals

  • You may only appeal minor infractions
    • Rules related to "general interaction" are considered to be major infractions
  • How to appeal?
    • We will always leave you a message to explain why you were blocked, which you may reply to via your wall
    • You are also entitled to leave one message of appeal via Community Central, on the personal message walls of the banning administrator (or another administrator of your choice)
