Rules

#### **Unnecessary edits**

* Disrupting the wiki with “edit warring” over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not helpful.

#### **Do not engage in excessive self-promotion**

* The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. Not a free place to advertise your related website, YouTube channel, blog, social media account, etc. Have a question about whether your link would be welcome? Ask an administrator.

#### **Do not make unnecessarily problematic comments**

* e.g.: saying "Who is the lucky guy that got her pregnant?" on The Mysterious Entity's page.

#### **Keep it civil**

* Do not make personal attacks on other people. If you need to criticize another user’s argument, do so without attacking them as a person. Do not use bigoted language, including slurs which degrade another person or group of people based on gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc.

#### **Do not harass others**

* If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes.

#### **Respect the differences (language & dialect)**

* While this wiki is currently all English (and mostly North American English), it has and will continue to be visited, edited, and administrated by people who either do not speak the language you're familiar with or do not speak it in the way that you're familiar with. Accept this and carry on. Do not edit or police their language or dialect to suit your desires.

##### **Non-English pages**

* In cases of entire pages being in non-English languages, this is completely fine. Just label the page so people know before opening it (e.g.: "Ariuk (RUS)", "Enchanted Bandages (POR)", etc). Lookup official language codes if needed so we can keep it consistent.

###### **Different names**

* If your language's translation of the game uses different names, so be it. Make your pages accurate to your language's version of the game.

###### **Separate Categories**

* All non-English language pages can be included in the general categories with the English pages. They can also be added to their own category (e.g.: "Characters (POL)"). Once this site becomes multi-lingual enough, we'll make ENG versions of the categories.

##### **Mixing languages on the same page**

* Keep this to a minimum. If there's additional information from Language-A that *should* be included on a page that's mostly or entirely in Language-B, then go for it. If the information would be best used on its own page, then create a new one.

##### **Page Translations**

* If you're interested in translating entire pages into different languages, go for it. Just label them accordingly (see above). If this hasn't happened for your preferred language, there are sites and software that will do it for you.

###### **Honest Restraint**

* Refrain from creating page translations unless you know the language well enough to correct most errors a page translator might make. If you'd like an exception to be made, just contact the admins.

### **Don't feed the trolls**

* Instead of going back and forth with a problematic user, report them to the admins and save yourself the headache.

### **Banning/Blocking**

* Problem causers may be temporarily/permanently blocked if their behavior is either significant enough to warrant such action or continues after being warned/informed.

#### **Permanent blocks**

* shall be reserved for the worst offenders and those who have a track record on other sites that'd warrant such action.

#### **Appealing blocks**

* Generally speaking, blocks shall be appeal-able. If the admins won't appeal, reach out to our overlords.

### **Disciplinary explanations**

* Any disciplinary action shall have an explanation provided publicly and/or privately to the disciplined.

### **Admin problems**

* If the admins are the problem, reach out to our overlords (the Fandom staff) and fill them in on the situation.

### **Those who come after**

* Always keep in mind that your actions today affect the people of tomorrow.
