Sillypedia:Guidelines

Generally, you will be warned for breaking the rules a few times before you are banned. The first ban will likely be one week long, the second will be a month (or possibly permanent if done within a week of being unbanned), and the third will be permanent. This is with the exception of more severe issues such as spamming NSFW material or gore, which will result in an instant permanent ban.
==Rules==
1. Please only edit or write pages in good faith and for the betterment of the Sillypedia. only make changes that you believe will improve the wiki or a page's information about a character. Editing in bad faith includes vandalism, spam, or harassment.
2. Please keep discussions civil. Bigotry or harassment of any form is not tolerated here and will result in a permanent ban.
3. This wiki aims to be welcome to all ages and a safe space for anyone who relies on sillymen for comfort. As such, all NSFW content is forbidden, and all characters originating from NSFW media or NSFW adjacent are banned. In the same vein, content warnings are vital for all pages which elicit one for any possible reason, be it for harsh language, blood, or less common triggers like phobias or any sharp objects.
*This is NOT the Sexypedia; any and all sexualization of characters on this wiki (regardless of if they are adults) is strictly prohibited. If you want us to "hear you out" then make a suggestion on the Fandom Sexypedia discussion boards instead of here (abiding by the Sexypedia guidelines, of course).
4. As mentioned before, when suggesting a character, you need 6 likes to add a Safe sillyman, 8 for Euclid, and 10 for Keter. Apollyon and Tiamat sillymen are only determined by the admins voting amongst themselves (though you can bring a character to our attention by creating a discussion post about their status). If you make the characters page before their discussion post reaches the required number of likes, it's most likely going to be deleted.
*Some notes regarding suggestions:
**If a suggestion is not able to attain enough votes within three days, that suggestion is deemed expired, and another suggestion must be made to try again. If this wasn't the case, every single suggestion that is made would eventually be accepted given enough time.
**If a suggestion DOES get enough votes in time, you do not need to wait for that character to be added to the Pages To Add list; you can start work on the page immediately.
**Do not put multiple character suggestions into a single forum post. It is impossible to vote for a specific character you are suggesting if you do so; instead, separate your character suggestions into individual posts, even if the characters are closely associated.
**The required likes for a given class may be changed at any time, whether due to increased popularity of the wiki or any other reason.
5. No characters that you (or someone you know personally) created. If you'd consider them an "OC", they're probably not allowed here.
6. Characters directly from religious scripture or mythology are not allowed. However, characters from fictional adaptations of them are allowed. For example, Lucifer Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel is allowed but actual biblical Satan is not.
7. If you make a character suggestion and it succeeds, it is heavily encouraged for you to put in the extra effort to create the page itself as well (preferably within a week of the suggestion succeeding) to reduce the backlog of pages to add. If you continuously make character suggestions with no attempts at creating the pages afterwards, any future suggestions you make may be held under further scrutiny.
8. When creating a page, avoid directly copying large portions of other sources. If you use a non-social-media source such as a fellow Fandom wiki, please cite them in your article.
9. If a suggestion or page is deemed by the staff or the wiki's Discord community to be unfit for the wiki, suggested as a joke or just for the sake of adding something weird to the wiki, it may be rejected or removed even if it does not technically violate any of the other rules.
==How to add a page==
To have a character added to the Sillypedia, first you must make a proper suggestion post on the forum. Before even starting to write the post, make sure that the character you are about to suggest follows the rules listed above. The suggestion must follow this format:
# The title of the post must be Character Suggestion: [Character Name] from [Source]. Alternatively, you may use Sillyman/Sillywoman/Sillyperson Suggestion if you so wish.
# An image of the character in question.
# A brief description of who the character is, their personality, their role in the story.
#How are they received by the fandom? Is the character popular in the community? Do people often hyperfixate on them in abstract ways?
#What is your reason for suggesting? Why do you think the character would fit on the wiki? Refer to What is a "Sillyman"? paragraph below when answering.
#A suggested class for the character, optionally with your reasoning on why they fit in this class.
#A list of tropes the character has, preferably with a short explanation on how they fit into each.
Once you've made your post and it reached the correct number of likes (6 likes for a Safe sillyman, 8 for Euclid, 10 for Keter), you may create the page. Make sure it follows the proper style, and be sure to add the proper categories (all the tropes they fit, the "characters" category, the class they fit into, and "sillyman" "sillywoman" or "sillyperson" depending on the character's gender).
*Please note that, even if a Safe sillyman happens to get 10 or more votes, that doesn't make them Keter. The classes are based on the popularity of the character inside and outside of their fandom, not how many votes they get.
==Regarding trope suggestions==
These are very similar to character suggestions, but a bit more strict. A trope suggestion should be made in the form of a discussion post, with the title "Trope Suggestion: (trope name)", a description of the trope, and optionally a list of sillymen that fit. You need to get a minimum of 10 likes for it to be considered by the staff team. If the majority of staff agrees, the trope will be added.
==What is a "Sillyman"?==
"Sillyman" is just one of many names that these types of characters fall under, all with varying niches and a wide range of definitions; Blorbos, Scrunklies, Goobers, the list goes on. On this wiki, Sillyman is defined as "A fictional character whose fandom (or a portion thereof) has a chronic hyperfixation and extreme appreciation for, often being expressed in bizzare and interesting ways (detailed below)" though this is not a concrete definition for the entire community. Some believe a character must fit a certain number of common tropes, some believe a character must have a certain number of tropes while also having a big enough fanbase, and some believe that only a certain select few are true sillymen. We aim to be inclusive to all these differing opinions, having Apollyon/Tiamat for the most popular "publicly successful" sillymen and Safe for those who have extremely niche but passionate fans (or perhaps even just one fan, given the circumstances).
Keep in mind that it's less about the character themselves and more about their fandom. No matter of how "understandable" it is that a character might cause people to hyperfixate on them, this love has to be expressed though fandom. This often includes: 
*Proportionately large amounts of fanworks focusing on the sillyman (keep rule 3 in mind).
*Proportionately large amounts of social media posts regarding the sillyman, usually with captions along the lines of "I hate this thing /pos," "I want to dunk them in milk and throw them against a tree," "I am rotating them in my mind," or most commonly, "KSJFRENVOMWVWOWMSC."
*Fans creating hundreds of stim boards or PicMix styled gifs of the character.
*Humanizations of the sillyman or popular fandom-created designs for the sillyman.
*If the sillyman does something morally wrong or questionable, fans defending them or simply ignoring what they did. This may cause controversy within the fandom.
*Common shared fanon regarding the sillyman.
*Fans focusing on one aspect of the sillyman, until it's their main personality trait within fan works (also known as Fanon Flanderization).
*Fans creating their own characters based on the sillyman and/or the sillyman's design.
If your character fits 2 or more of these, they may be a sillyman. Now all you have to do is create a suggestion post.
