Zizanian rules

Like any wiki, this place has rules! These rules are to keep order to this wiki.

## Rules for the wiki

### Behavior

* Please don’t ‘troll’ anybody on this wiki
* Constructive criticism is allowed, but be polite
* This means no rated R gore content, no sexual content, drunkness, or generally very mature themes. This includes lemons/graphic sexual fanfictions/characters. *(We will likely have younger users that lie about their age in order to get a FANDOM account.)*
* If you find a page that talks about inappropriate things/concepts please tell an admin!
* No inappropriate language! If you wish to use one please censor it with this \*\*\*
* Do not ban evade. (Ban evading is making a second account after the first one was banned.)

### Content

* **Artwork from the internet cannot be used unless you are the original owner**. Regular images from the internet can be used as placeholders in infoboxes but must be removed/replaced as soon as possible.
* Artwork and image credit must be given.
* Do not steal any ideas from other people and games! The Zizanian universe is trying to become its own thing. (\*Inspiration is different from stealing)
* If a Zizanian is a copy of your or someone else's idea, then tell an admin so they can remove it no questions asked. However, if an idea is evidently similar to someone else's idea and isn't an exact copy, then the admins will discuss if the similarities are an issue and should or shouldn't be removed. *(This is in place if someone complains that X was too similar to their Y but the Zizanian wasn't or slightly was inspired by Y.)*

## Rules for Zizanian Creation

### Creation Rules

* Pages must follow the Zizanian Example page but can have extra sections for other information on that Zizanian.
* All Ultra and Spliced Zizanian suggestions must be approved by an admin.
* Once you finish making a Zizanian please add it to the list on the current Zizanian game now (Current Game: Zizanian: Volcano & Typhoon)
* Keep the Zizanian concepts and ideas PG-13, please
* Photos from the internet can be used as placeholders in infoboxes but must be removed/replaced as soon as possible. **!!!Artwork from the internet cannot be used unless you are the original owner!!!**

### Page Rules

* New Zizanians can be made but have to put it as ‘fan-made’ *(Note: Currently the wiki is small and new. Your Zizanian may get accepted immediately. This is note will be removed later on and the rule will go into effect.)*

* Pages must follow the Zizanian Example page but can have extra sections for other information on that Zizanian.
* If your page is missing key information the Zizanian Example page for 7 days it will be considered abandoned unless some of the missing information is added.
* Any abandoned pages that are missing key information from the Zizanian Example page will either be edited by a moderator or deleted. Admins are required to message the page's creator before any changes are made (except for adding/changing the formatting and info section(s) names/positions).
* If there is somebody who keeps making major edits your Zizanian page(s), then please tell an admin.(Ex. major changes to the description, adding info that doesn't fit, vandalism, changing stats when they're not an admin)

## Rules for Character Creation

* Pages must follow the Character Example page but can have extra sections for other information on that Character.
* Minor characters don't require Admin approval
* No Mary/Gary Sues
* 1-6 Zizanians total. 7 is allowed for The Champion NPC Champions (not the same as The Champion), Player Characters after becoming a Champion.

(*Some exceptions to the 1- 7 Zizanian rule are characters who were made to be cheaters. However, the character must be well written and approved by 2-3 admins.)*

* Zizanian Master Characters have to be approved by the Admins before it can become an official Zizanian Master.
* Abyss Members must be approved by Admins: Eorrorcode **or** ArachnidTheHivewingSkywing
* High Ranking Abyss Members must be approved by Admin Eorrorcode **and** ArachnidTheHivewingSkywing. (Error to see if there are available slots and Arachnid to make sure it fits into the story cannon)
* Keep the concepts and ideas PG-13, please
* Images from the internet can be used as placeholders in infoboxes but must be removed/replaced as soon as possible. **!!!Artwork from the internet cannot be used unless you are the original owner or the owner has given permission\*!!!**

\*Characters are the only ones allowed to have images with the artist's permission.

## Rules for the game making

* Ask before beginning to make or improve a part of a game
* Try to make the game on the same project
* We don't want this project to be a direct Pokémon clone. It can have similar gameplay but it shouldn't feel like something that is trying to be Pokémon all over again
* Make sure you have permission from the original creator of each Zizanian. On paper, this sounds ridiculous but because many Zizanians can suddenly be removed, replaced, and/or changed. Also, some people might not be ok with their Zizanians being used (especially if the game has a price tag).
