The Fun Fan Disney Wiki:Fun Fan Disney wiki Policies and guidelines

The following is a list of policies that are meant to ensure everyone can enjoy this wiki and the information/community it offers. By implementing these policies and guidelines, administrators expect users to adhere to them, and all contributors will be held accountable by administrators; if you have any questions, please ask them.

Administrators always try to "assume good faith." We do not want to block someone who made a mistake—only users that intend to harm the wiki.

#### **Current Active Administrators:**

* Anonymous Asteroid
* Keefecrazy

## Behavior Policies

Administrators/Moderators will delete or edit out content that breaks these policies. They will issue a warning and may block you, especially if you have past offenses.

1. Be kind to everyone; be inclusive and polite towards others.
	* Do not bully or post other hurtful comments. These are not tolerated under any circumstances.
	* If debating, arguments are expected to be made respectfully, without degrading others' opinions.
	* Do not direct any arguments towards users. You are arguing against the user's comment, not the users themselves.
2. Ensure that all content is suitable for all readers. Nothing inappropriate or mature is permitted on this website.
	* Do not mention any violence that is unrelated to the Disney.
	* Do not bring up any conversation that includes politics because it is strictly forbidden. This is because it can be an uncomfortable discussion
	* Do not swear. Even minor swear words, acronyms, or abbreviations can hurt, offend, or discomfort others.
3. Be respectful of administrators' requests and the things they do. Administrators ensure that the community is friendly and that the pages are informational. You are expected to follow any requests. If you disagree, you may send a polite message that explains ways for them to improve or suggests a solution.

## Commenting Policies

Comments that do not follow these policies will be deleted, and warnings may be issued. Blockings may follow if the offense is repeated.

1. Make sure to post your comments on the pages they relate to. Do not post comments unrelated to the topic of the page. Conversations unrelated to disney may only be allowed on message walls.
2. Do not spam, whether it be on pages or threads.
3. Do not mini moderate, It's not your job to do that. If you find someone breaking a rule, simply tell an administrator or content moderator

## Editing Guidelines

Edits that do not follow these guidelines will be undone. Warnings and/or blockings may follow.

1. All wiki pages are to be factual and contain only information directly acquired from the books or Shannon Messenger's official social media sites. Do not add any second-hand information. Do not edit pages to include opinions or theories.
	* Administrator-added theory sections are permitted. You may request them.
2. All edits to wiki pages are expected to be helpful for growing the page. Removing content, inserting false or unrelated content, and any other vandalizations are prohibited.
3. American grammar and spelling is preferred to other forms of English since the disney originated in America. (For example, use "color" instead of "colour.")
4. Categories are to be necessary and helpful. Ensure that pages added to a category are relevant. Do not create any extra or spam categories. Typically, do not create a category that does not fit at least five pages. If you are unsure about adding a category, ask.
5. Please get administrative permission before using automated editing. (Scripts, bots, etc.)
6. Do not add any fanart to pages unless you have explicit permission from an administrator.

## Page Guidelines

Pages that do not follow these guidelines will most likely be deleted. Warnings may be issued, and blockings may follow for repeat offenses.

1. Before creating a page, ensure that the page has not already been created.
2. Instead of making a non-factual page (as seen in "Editing Guidelines"), make a blog post or forum post. Examples of non-factual pages are fanfiction, fanart, and pages unrelated to the series.
3. Only administrators may create disambiguation pages.

## Warnings and Blocking

Only administrators are able to block users. Administrators may use the following notices/warnings against users who break these policies.

1. A **First Warning** is used for a first violation that does not warrant a blocking. It appears on a message wall like this:

2. **Additional Warnings** are used when more than one violation of a user does not warrant a blocking. (See numbers 3-6.) They appear on a message wall like this:

3. **Blockings of 1 to 7 Days** are typically performed for minor, repeated violations or more serious first offenses. The notice appears on a message wall like this:

4. **Blockings of 1 to 4 Weeks** are typically performed for more serious violations or repeated minor violations. The notice appears on a message wall like this:

5. **Blockings of 1 or More Months** are typically done for major violations or continually repeated violations. The notice appears on a message wall like this:

6. **Permanent Blockings** are usually only done against these users:

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What should I do if I noticed that someone broke a policy/guideline?

Tell an active administrator. Users' reports are invaluable when it comes to keeping the wiki a friendly, safe place. We greatly appreciate your help. If you're concerned about saying it publicly, you could message an administrator on Discord or ask one to live chat with you.

### Why have I been blocked?

When a blocking has taken place, you should receive a message from an administrator stating why they blocked you and for how long. If you are still confused or have not received a message, don't panic. Administrators often leave blocked users the ability to post on their message walls. If you don't understand your blocking or want to appeal it, post a message on your wall.

### I don't think a page should have been deleted. What should I do?

First of all, please trust that the administrator had a good reason for deleting it. That said, pages can be restored, and aren't gone forever if they're deleted. You may send the administrator that deleted it a message asking why they deleted it. You may also start a petition for undeletion. That means to write out the reasons you think it would be a useful page for the wiki, and get one or two other users to agree with you. Please respect their decision if they still don't think it's a good page for the wiki.
