Numbercraft Wiki/Rules

We kind of need a rules page to keep everything stable, Red means that this rule has been violated WAY TOO MANY TIMES

## **General**

* This is an English wiki. Please use English whenever you can.

## **Major Offences**

* **Swearing**. This is a wiki revolving around a children's show.
* **Vandalism**. This is a serious offense that can get you infinitely blocked if you do it enough.
	+ Even if it wasn't intentional, it still counts unless you revert it immediately, which is why it's recommended that you learn how to undo edits.
* **Underage**
	+ If you are under the age of 8 then you will get block, Quinten only allows users at the age of 8 or up to access.
* **Spamming**.
	+ This also includes spamming in comment sections and discussion posts.
	+ "Counting contests", no matter the base or end point, also counts as spamming.
* **Posting scam links**. These can be harmful to a user's device.
* **Posting sexual content**. Most users on this wiki may be greatly discomforted by sexual content. Please don't post it.
* **Editing another user's user page** without user rights (bureaucrat, admin, content moderator), even if it's to correct a typo. It's a serious violation of privacy.
* **Starting flame wars**. We would like to keep drama down on the wiki.
* **Harassment**. You cannot say that it's not serious or that it's your opinion to convince people not to get angry at you because you did something extremely, and honestly mean.
* **Talking about controversial political topics**. They will usually lead to off-topic arguments.
* **Creating new templates without agreement**. Please ask an admin first or make a poll before creating it. The only exception are opinion templates for official new Learningblocks characters.
	+ If you made a template without permission, it will be deleted. If you want to bring it back, please ask an admin politely. Please do not beg.
	+ If you want a custom template for your userpage or blog, just put the source code of your template directly in the page instead of creating a new template page for it.
* **Attempting to evade bans using alternate accounts, known as sockpuppeting.** You will not be able to rejoin the community until your block expires. Anybody found out to be a sockpuppet will be blocked and have their main account overkilled. For example, the owner of the wiki.
* **Over-misgendering or repeatedly using the wrong pronouns,** Especially if it's for malicious purposes.

## **Medium Offences**

* **Disrespect**. Everyone knows that respect is common sense. If you try to maliciously make fun of somebody on this wiki, one of these two things can happen:
	+ You will be forgiven.
	+ Your page/comment/message/blog post will be deleted and you get a strike.
* **Begging for admin/moderator rights**. If you want to be an admin/mod, you need to be trustful, and make reasonable edits. If you do for a long enough period of time, we might consider promoting you.
* **Unauthorized strike removal**. You'll get a warning, the strike will get added back and you'll get an extra strike. You'll also get your userpage protected for a week.
* **Having an inappropriate username**. People who have this in their username will be banned ASAP:
	+ Major swears and overall inappropriate content
	+ Mockery of another user

## **Minor Offences**

* **Replacing or reverting images** without consent. If your image has the same name as another, please make it a different name. If you *do* replace it, we have the rights to revert it. Same thing for reverting.
	+ **Replacing infobox images** aren't allowed even if you keep the original image intact. Recentness and poses don't matter, the only thing that matters is *consistency*. The only time this is allowed is when the new image looks exactly like the old image, but with higher quality.
* **Posting pointless messages on Message Walls**, as it counts as spam and can get on the person's nerves.
* **Not following the format**. Consistency is key.
* **Not following grammar rules in pages.** It's okay to not follow grammar outside of pages, such as in blog-posts or message walls, however.
	+ Although if you do make a grammatical error when you're editing a page, it'll get fixed.
* **Advertising non-Learningblocks or Numberfanagram content anywhere on the wiki,** such as gameplay videos or stories of other franchises. Please post those elsewhere, such as related wikis.

## **Format**

This is the format you must follow when creating a necessary new page.

### **General**

* Place the three-way navbox *first*.
* After the three-way navbox, place any notice templates if needed.
* Place the infobox after the notice templates.
* Place the grand navbox *last* (if there is one).

### **Templates**

1. Choose your desired template. If you remember the name of the template, that's not a problem, but if you don't, read this blog post. If you accidentally make a redlink, however, you may be forgiven.
2. If you don't know which parts of the template are customizable, search up the template yourself and use separate tabs.
3. Type "{{" (two open braces) first. Not "{", not "{{{", but "{{". Doing it wrong will not cause the template to show up.
4. Type the name of the template. If necessary, type "|" (vertical bar, not "I" or "l") afterward and fill in any missing information, using "|"s (vertical bars, again) to separate them.
5. Type "}}" (two close braces). That's all!

### **Galleries**

Many users have started making their own fanmade Numberblocks. If you want to post your media onto the page, this is how to do it:

1. Go to the *fanmade* gallery page for your character, not the main page.
2. Upload your image.
	* If your image happens to have the same name as another, do not attempt to replace it - we will revert it back.
		+ Instead, you should change it to another name.
	* Due to how galleries work in FandomDesktop, you're required to upload it **before** adding it to the gallery. Here's how you do it:
		+ Click "Images and Media" (it's the image-looking icon on the editor), then go to Upload.
		+ Drag and drop or upload the file onto there. Make sure to click "I agree to image policy and terms of use" before uploading.
		+ The Media Setting part is optional, unless you would like to provide a description for it.
		+ The picture you wanted to add will be uploaded to the wiki.
3. Use an appropriate caption. Please don't type "my 17", or anything similar. No one will know whose Seventeen it'll be. Type "[username]'s (design of) [Numberblock]". You may use an alias if you are well-known.

## Some Numbercraft rules

1. Don't Spam Pages like Paul without permission, Ask an admin.
2. Don't call Sylveon Quinten, They are both different.
3. Don't Call Numbercraft Dead, It will hurt Quinten's feelings.
