Guidelines

For the sake of everyone's enjoyment, we do employ a couple of guidelines. If you have a question or qualm regarding any of them, please bring it up with an administrator and we’ll talk about it!
Do you feel someone is violating one or more of these guidelines, please bring this up with an admin and we will look into it.
Furthermore, there may be issues not encompassed by these guidelines, and in such an event, appropriate action is up to the administrators’ discretion.
==General==
*Treat others like you wish to be treated
** In general, this means be kind towards everyone else. You do not have to get along with everyone, but please make an effort to be cordial. 
** When it comes to conflict, please try to resolve it on your own if you can but if not, do not hesitate to contact an administrator!
** Depending on the situations, a warning may be issued.
*No power-play or godmodding
** Roleplaying is writing a story together and thus powerplay and god-modding - the action of dictating what someone else’s character does - is one that should be avoided. 
** A warning will be issued.
==Character Creation==
*No Mary Sue characters
** No person is perfect, and this applies to characters too. While certain story beats may focus more on certain characters, there is no main character. 
** You will be notified about the issue by an admin, with the intent of working out how to amend it together. Deliberately ignoring the concerns will cause a warning to be issued.
*Gender Restrictions
** For characters not intended to become members of AKB0048, there are no gender restrictions.
** For characters that are intended to become members, there are some restrictions as, in-universe, AKB0048 is a girl group:
***Female characters are allowed.
***Male characters are not allowed.
***If you wish to have a character with an identity that falls somewhere in between or outside of the previously mentioned groups, please bring it up with the admins, as these are a case-by-case situation!
*Exact copies of other characters will be denied
**This roleplay is set roughly half a century after the anime, and thus you cannot play as one of those characters or an exact copy thereof. Similarities are, of course, allowed.
**These characters will be denied.
==Pages==
*Please do not spam pages.
**Creating excessive amounts of empty pages is to be discouraged as it can easily clog up the activity feed, and complicate housekeeping on the wiki.
**Deliberately doing this will cause the pages to be deleted, and further action may be taken after repeated offence.
*Please use accurate categories.
**This makes it easier to keep the wiki organised, both for admins doing housekeeping, but also for navigation. If you are unsure what categories to add, do not be afraid to ask!
**Any specific category that is missing from your pages may either be added, or you may receive a reminder to add it.
==Media==
*Character Art
** Strive to create your own art. Bases are okay, but recolours are not.
** Using dress-up games is also alright if the game allows reposting of images created using the game.
** Alternatively, ask users if they could draw your character for you.
*Use appropriate categories.
** For images you upload, please attach the category “User:” to it.
** For images you upload containing characters, please attach the category consisting of their surname and given name (ex: “Motomiya Hikari”) to make it easier for people to find those images!
