Rules Of The Wiki

Before joining this wiki, it is very important to read the community's rules.

### Opinions

It is extremely important to not create a page based on your opinions on a ship. The main purpose for this page is to provide information and evidence for why a ship has become popular, why fans enjoy it, or merely the reason for its existence. It is exceptionally unacceptable to create a page based on your beliefs and or hatred on a ship, even if it is positive. If you have an issue with a ship, avoid creating the page. Users that disobey this rule will receive two warnings. If they proceed to break this rule, it will end up in expulsion from editing on this wiki.

Examples: This ship sucked because ... This ship is the best because ...

### Accurate Information

The wiki provides information/evidence to help readers understand why fans may support a ship. It is required to have accurate information so the ship doesn't appear to be the editor's opinion. The pages *must* have correct, true, and accurate information. If you are not sure of what you are displaying, contact another user or an admin for help.

### Appropriate Age

If you are thinking this applies to your person stop stressing. A page can be acceptable if the persons are at least in the same age range, such as an Elder/Elder. Any ship that includes persons underneath the age of 12 or above adult years will be moved to the platonic category.

### Grammar

Grammar is important to this wiki due to clear reading and understanding when viewing a page. If this is not met, readers will be confused and misread your page. You don't have to look professional, but try to make a good impression.

### Headcanons

Although it is not required, it is recommended to include headcanons on a fanon/canon page. This is placed here for a look at a fan's personal view on a ship. Headcanons are events that are not real but what a person assumes to be canon in their own personal view. This uplifts reasons for a person's ship.

### Dynamics

Be sure to include a ship's dynamic. A dynamic is a theme to a ship that makes a ship what it is. Without it, it wouldn't be able to be located or known for what ship it is. Fans may enjoy a certain dynamic and would love to find their favorite on a page that you created, so be sure to include them!

### Stubs

If you find a stub, be sure to add more information to it!

### Shipping Appearances

Shipping appearances are moments of a ship that can be romantic/platonic. Make sure to include these because it helps readers understand the ship through moments that happened canonically.

### General Rules

* 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.
* Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Ask an administrator or fellow community member!
* Disrupting the wiki with “edit warring” over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not productive.
* Do not engage in excessive self-promotion. The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. It is 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 harass other users. If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall or user talk page, respect their wishes. It is their space.
* Do not hound, bait, or troll: Friendly debate and conversation can be useful tools in creating a resourceful wiki, but deliberately pushing others to the point of breaching civility is not allowed.
* Do not threaten harm or spam/vandalism to other users and wikis. If you see anyone threatening another person or wiki, report to the administrator.

### Blocking Rules

* Recurring vandalism or spamming
* Deliberately misgendering (i.e. using the wrong pronouns) and otherwise disrespecting people's stated facts about their person and identity.
* Recurring harassment, including hounding, personal or legal threats, posting of personal information, repeated messaging and ignoring their request to be left alone
* Continual edit warring
* Making a personal attack on another user
* Sockpuppetry
* Asking other users personal information such as age, location, etc.

Blocks will begin at 24 hours and will increase depending on the number of offenses and type of offense. If you feel you have been blocked unfairly, you can reach out to an administrator on their Community Central message wall.

### Page Protection

The majority of pages on this wiki will remain unprotected to encourage all users to edit. Pages will only be protected if there is a specific need, such as:

* Vandalism has persisted over a long period of time
* Stopping an edit war
* Protect the proper display of the wiki (i.e. wiki logo, frequently used templates, the main page, policy pages, etc.)

Unacceptable reasons for protecting reasons can include:

* Disagreeing with an administrator or moderator; this is conflict of interest.
* Reserving the page to be edited later.
* Marking a page as done -- wiki pages are never done, as language can always be improved upon.

To request an article be protected or to have the protection level be reviewed, please contact an administrator or content moderator on their wall.

To request an additional rule, please contact an administrator or content moderator on their wall.
