Style Guide/Rules

Here's a list of rules which must be followed on this wiki. Failure to do so will result in a block, and repeat offenders will be banned. All sanctions prior to ban are to be accompanied by a warning on the user's talk page and a notification.
#No edit warring with an administrator/content moderator. If you disagree with the decision made, you may engage in a civil deliberation with them in a civilized matter either on their message wall or on Discord.
#If you have been blocked or banned for any reason, do not create another account to bypass it- that's called sockpuppetry. If you do this, your original account's block will become a permanent ban along with any other detected additional accounts.
#Talk pages and message walls are used only to discuss FANDOM-related operations. If you would like to talk about the show, you can visit the Wiki forums or join our Tokupedia Discord Server. 
#All newly created articles are required to utilize any of the page-creation templates with additional information written regarding the subject of the article itself. Articles that do not follow this rule will be deleted on sight, the user who created said article will be warned, with repeat offenders risking a block.
#For newly released material, do not add them without providing a source. The page was initially deleted for this reason, because no citations were given to support the validity of the information. Here is a list of acceptable sources with a given rationale on each. All sources cited must be placed in the source editor itself using the <ref></ref> tags, and not in the edit summary. Failure to do so can lead to a reversion of your edit regardless of the source's factuality.'''
#Because the shows we cover are in Japanese, we name article titles based on the Romanized spellings. Unless an English spelling was specifically provided in the show itself, at least two sources is required for an official English spelling given by Toei. This is to avoid any mistakes caused by merchandise errors, such as Gord Drive on the SH Figuarts release for Gold Drive.
#Pay attention to the other Style Guide pages. We have specific rules for things like images and naming conventions.
#Do not upload watermarked images nor overwrite images with an inferior version. When uploading an image, please remember to select the correct licensing template in the upload page to give credit to the original owner of the image. For more image guidelines, please visit here.
#In the "Notes" section of character articles, similarities or references between characters from two different series/franchises are allowed as long as the comparison was made by either a cast or crew member and correctly sourced using the <ref></ref> tags.
#If you do not possess any moderating or administrative power, do not overstep your boundaries. If you do see any users violating the rules, do not engage nor interact with them. Instead, contact an appropriate persons of powers either by leaving them a message or reporting it through #wiki-reports on the Discord server, and they will act accordingly. 
#This is an English-speaking Wiki, so please use English. If you edit in a foreign and/or unknown language, it will be counted as a minor infraction of vandalism and you will receive a warning. Repeat offenders will receive a block. If you would like to edit or contribute to one of our other foreign-language wikis, please contact an admin or staff member. 
#Creating new templates is allowed, but editing one that is already live will require a discussion with administrators/content moderators. Repeat offenders will result in a block. 
#You may add/create categories, but excessive yet unsatisfactory use of this privilege will result in a block and possibly a ban.
#Race-related editing: In this evolving world where representation matters and even the brands themselves are keenly participating in race discourse, race-related editing will be allowed once more. Categories will be opened up for PR actors of various races, and heritage, citizenship and nationality can be added to actor pages (and character pages when overtly mentioned).
#All forms of harassment is strictly prohibited and a first offense will be met with a permanent ban. This includes, but is not limited to, sexual harassment, intimidation, obscene/offensive behavior towards another user, or any information shared to another user or on the Wiki that does not meet our notability standards. 
#DO NOT delete messages from administrators, content moderators, and thread moderators. If you delete messages from staff members without responding to them, it increases your chances of getting blocked as it implies that you are not acknowledging what is being requested of you. Repeated offenses of this nature will increase your block.
#ALL rules from our discord server reflect across our other hub wikis, meaning that if you cause an issue on our server that causes you to be banned, your actions will reflect across your account by receiving the appropriate block.
Administrators are here to implement sanctions based on clear rules, Any infraction that isn't explicitly covered in the rules will be discussed within admins and content moderators before a coming to a given sanction.
