This page is in regard to the rules and regulations of this wiki. Consequences for breaking these rules will be seen below.
Creating a page
Page Requirements
In order to make a standard page on this wiki, visit: Page Format. Page format, for any page, is not allowed to be broken by any user that does not have an administrator's permission to do so.
Categories and Templates
While users have the right to create their own pages at their own leaser, they absolutely DO NOT have permission to create categories and templates without admin's permission. Users may create one of these in a sandbox and present it to an admin, after which they may or may not make it apart of the wiki. Admins have the right to edit these presentations as well.
Fan-Fiction Policy
Fan fiction is in NO way allowed on this wiki. This includes:
- Creating pages based on personal fiction.
- Adding personal fiction to any part of any page.
Creepypastas
While Creepypastas are allowed on this wiki, we ask that you do not post too many of them. This wiki only really wants famous creepypastas that have had rumors spread about them to the capacity that the readers believed it to be true. Blatantly fake Creepypastas, in very rare occasions, might be documented on this wiki. Publishing these such pages should involve discussion among the wiki community.
Image and Video Policy
Because most of the content on this wiki is made-up or non-canonical to the series that they are apart of, users have the right to add images and videos of all kinds as long as they are appropriate to the article that they are writing. Users may use images from Deviant Art and videos form YouTube, but they must credit the creators of these such images/videos. As for images used in infoboxes, users must credit the creators in the image's caption.
Administration Policy
The following is this wiki's policy on administrative authority.
Word of Staff
Staff on this wiki are expected to listen to the questions and concerns of users regarding the said administrator's decisions. It goes without saying that there is no such thing as a "Gaming Urban Legend" master, and so not all decisions made by admins should be viewed as the correct. Users have the right to question and correct these decisions via a respectable conversation with the admin that made the decision.
Users are expected to listen to staff. Not every violation is included on this page, and so if an administrator or other staff tells a user to correct themselves or to stop doing something, this should be respected.
Recreating Pages
If a page on this wiki has been deleted, it is most likely because the contents of the page were not up to standard. If a wiki page is deleted because it's subject was not appropriate to the wiki, then an administrator will message the creator of the article about this. If the creator disagrees, then they have the right to a civil discussion and later a community vote. If a creator ignores the administrator and recreates the page, they will face punishment.
'Edit Waring'
The term "Edit Waring" refers to when two users continuously undo each others actions simultaneously. This is not how we expect users to handle their disagreements. If two users are having a disagreement about their edits, please work it out on your message walls or on any message board that you and the other user may share. If users refuse to talk out their disagreement or one ignores the other's attempt at compromise, punishment will be issued.
Vandalism
Vandalism comes in all shapes and sizes, non of which are tolerated on this wiki.
Purging
Users are not for any reason allowed to purge the content from a page. If you don't agree that this page belongs on this wiki or simply don't want it here, than the user is to use the Template:Deletion page, where the page will be added to the deletion category and later be observed by administrators, whom will determine whether or not it should or shouldn't be deleted. This rule may not apply if the user purging created the page themselves, depending on how long it had been up and if any other edits had been made.
Misinformation
Purposefully adding misinformation or made-up content on any page will not be tolerated. While they do not always need to be provided, please make sure to add sources to obscure claims.
Other User's Pages
Users are NOT to add anything to the descriptions of users on this wiki. While simply "creating" a user's page but adding nothing may be tolerated, remember to always ask a user's permission before doing so.
Consequences
As for our Image/Video Policy, users will not have to worry unless they are repeat offenders, in which they will be messages by an admin. If they do not respond, delete the message, or ignore it, then they will face a possible ban.
Arguments and disagreements will not face harsh punishment unless one of the users refuses to communicate with the other and continue their nonconstructive behavior. This is when they will face punishment.
Users who do not contribute to the page requirements will be told to correct themselves, it isn't fair to leave that work to other users or admins. If they create more than two pages that do not meet up to the standards, the user will be banned. Users who purposefully change the format of a handful of pages without permission with face temporary ban.
Fan-fiction, creating categories/templates without permission, misinformation, purging, and vandalizing other user's pages will not be tolerated in any way. If a user has made more than 100 edits that have contributed to this wiki, then they will be talked to before a ban. Users who choose to do one of these with less than this amount will be banned on the spot.
