Fantendo:Help/Rules

This is the one-stop page for the site-wide rules of Fantendo.
Up to three warnings will be issued out by sysops and bureaucrats depending on the severity of the broken rule. After three warnings, continuing to break a rule will result in a ban. All responsibility for the ban is held by the banning party unless stated otherwise. Feel free to question administration if you are unsure of anything.

Community

Do not sockpuppet! Sockpuppetting is the act of creating more than one account, usually to get a fresh start. If you wish to make a new account, you must ask an administrator first or face an immediate ban.

Do not spam! Spamming is the act of creating mass amounts of pointless content in the form of comments, pages, or etc.

Do not flame! Flaming is the act of bullying another user on purpose. Starting drama intentionally will be treated as flaming.

Limit swearing outside of chat! Many regular visitors to the wiki are young or may be sensitive to swearing. If swearing is excessive in an article, please add the template {{Mature}}.

Do not discriminate! Do not intentionally display prejudice against a certain demographic. Avoid usage of derogatory terms. This will usually result in an immediate ban.

Do not bring drama to or from other communities! This will be treated as spam.

Do not remove content from your talk page! Unless you are moving it to an archive, do not remove anything from your talk page. This is so that administrators can easily check to see the status of a situation or your warning count.

Content

Do not vandalize! Vandalizing is adding or removing content to a page that you do not own without being given explicit permission.

Do not steal content! Stolen content of any type will be deleted. This means the ideas of users from this wiki in particular. If a user does not give you explicit permission to use their idea or character, you may not use it.

Don't post links to file downloads! There is no way of knowing if a download which you link is malware. Do not link to any download links unless specifically in a private message with permission from the other user.

Do not recreate deleted articles! If your page was deleted, it was for a reason. That reason is included in the deletion summary (located at the log). Ask an admin if you wish to recreate the article to improve it

Keep certain content in the forums! Do not advertise wikis outside of the Wiki Advertisement Plaza, or create anything which already has a specific forum board. Post those in the forum.

Do not add approval templates! Only administrators are allowed to add {{S}} or related templates.

Don't spam for badges! Making unnecessary edits for badges is not allowed unless they're acceptable edits like adding legitimate categories, correcting mistakes, adding templates like the deletion/rewrite template, etc.
