Wiki Rules

==General Rules==
Basic guidelines for editing here on the Azure Striker Gunvolt Wikia. Follow these and we'll all get along just fine.
*Spam and vandalism are prohibited. Yes, even if it's for a joke. Vandalizing more than once will result in a permanent ban with no warning.
*Owning and/or managing more than one account is unnecessary and unapproved. Sockpuppet accounts will be deleted and the owner will receive a temporary block from editing without warning.
*Public arguments, user-based harassment, and similar sentiments are prohibited. This isn't a battlefield.
*Do not edit other users' profiles. This should go without saying; just because you can edit something doesn't mean you should, it's generally seen as invasive and unnecessary. Instead, message them and tell them what you think should be fixed, if it's something like a broken link or a misspelled word, to make sure it was actually unintentional on the part of the user.
*When you've finished making a new page, contact a member of the Staff Team to protect it. This is an anti-vandalism measure.
*Non-admin users should not give warnings to other users. Friendly advice and tips are one thing, but only admins will give out warnings. If a non-admin notices a user breaking rules, they may contact an admin and allow them to deal with it. Please be as specific and coherent as you can while relaying the problem.
**Furthermore, do not intervene or question an Admin's regulation of another user and their property unless absolutely necessary. One, it's not your business, and two, they can fight their own battles.
*Administrators that fail to be active for a long period of time without good reason will lose their rights. If they wish to regain their powers, they must earn them again.
==Images==
*Do not add fanart to the galleries, full stop.
*Don't upload duplicate files. There's no punishment for this, the worst we'll do is just delete the duplicate. There's a lot of images to keep track of, so check the galleries before uploading something you think might not be there.
*Uploading of Inti Creates holiday wallpapers to character galleries is strictly prohibited, as Inti has specifically requested not to redistribute them on other sites. Attempting to upload them will result in the images being deleted and a warning given to the perpetrator. All other official art is fair game. New year's wallpapers on the main Inti Creates website are permitted due to them not having any do-not-repost request.
*All images classified as not safe for work in a character or page gallery must be isolated to their own section, covered with a spoiler tag.
*Memes and images not related to Azure Striker Gunvolt should be uploaded sparingly and only used on personal territory (User Wall, Blog Post, etc.)
==Citations==
*Information from outside of the games should be properly cited. If no source for it can be found, it will be removed.
*Information from secondhand sources, such as in-person discussions with Inti Creates staff members at events, should be cited in a way that makes it clear the information is secondhand.
== Miscellaneous Rules ==
*This wiki is for official Azure Striker Gunvolt content, so only information pertaining to official subjects is documented here. Any pages on original characters, or the addition of headcanons or any other baseless speculation will be removed.
*When linking to the accounts of Inti Creates staff and associates on Twitter and other sites, only accounts which are open about belonging to Inti Creates staff and associates may be linked to. Linking to accounts speculated to belong to staff members which keep their identities and affiliation private is strictly forbidden.
**In the event that a suspected Inti Creates staff member or affiliate leaks information (including potentially confidential information) about the series, listing this information in relevant sections on the wiki without linking to the source of the statement(s) may be permitted. This requires administrator approval.
*The Trivia sections are not a place to put a list of similarities between a character and another character from an entirely unrelated franchise, nor is it a place to exhaustively list every vague reference under the sun. Please do us a huge favor and think about what you want to say before editing. If you're still confused, hopefully reading this helps.
**When adding relevant trivia, please do so in a way that avoids spoiling the contents of the media you're drawing a comparison to. If you can't, it's likely better left unsaid.
*Pages are to be written in proper American English. Please bear this in mind if you live outside the US. 
*By default, content on character pages should be taken from the most accurate/recent English script. If the English script contains significant omissions or inconsistencies (example: Nori's title being omitted in the English version of Gunvolt 2), then the Japanese script may be referenced.
**The updated localization of Gunvolt 1 by Matt Papa is seen as the definitive script, and is used as the primary source in reference to the game's content. Nothing exclusive to the first localization of Gunvolt 1 by 8-4 is to be treated as canon, although some references may be made to it on a case-by-case basis as long as it's made clear they are only from that script. (example: The September Record page trivia section having a mention of "Realms of Robocraft" from the 8-4 script).
==Ban Guidelines==
The general guideline is that a first offense warrants a warning, followed by bans of increasing length if the behavior continues, eventually accumulating in a permanent ban. In cases such as obvious, malicious vandalism, there will be an immediate, permanent ban. Admins have authority to punish behavior not outright listed here should it be decided that said behavior is malicious and crosses a line.
