Wiki Rules

## General Policies

**Be nice and treat people with respect.** Cyber-bullying is far from allowed. Bullying can hurt other user's feelings. Being rude, insulting other users, putting down others, discriminating because of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, etc., intimidating others, harassing, threatening, or calling others inappropriate names fall under the category of bullying.

**Cursing is not allowed anywhere on this website.** This goes for every user, including the non-English speakers ones. Any form of profanity, vulgar language, sexual terminology, or offensive/inappropriate terms are not allowed and will not be tolerated.

**Keep your personal information to yourself.** Your security is something really important for us, and we don't want anything bad to happen to you. While discussing with other users, please do not give out personal information. This includes your full name, address, school and phone number.

**All kinds of inappropriate material are not allowed.** Inserting sexually explicit content or pictures can get you blocked anywhere from a month up to a permanent ban.

**Do not spam anywhere on this wiki.** Spamming is posting/commenting the same thing over and over again, usually just to get achievement points. Commenting the same thing more than once and editing a page once every word just to get achievement points falls under the category of spamming.

**User pages are only to be edited by the user.** In case you want to revert vandalism, correct grammar, spelling, punctuation errors, etc., please get the user's permission before editing the page.

**You must be 13 or older in order to create an account.** Due to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and laws about child internet safety, Wikia says that you must be 13 or over to have an account. Please be aware that if you are caught under 13 by Wikia, you will be globally blocked.

**Notify an administrator in case any user breaks a policy.** If you want a page or a comment to be deleted; or in case you want to close a thread, please notify an administrator. In addition, warning templates, blocking templates, and banned from chat templates are only to be used by Chloe Lukasiak Wiki staff.

**Do not participate in argumentative wars.** These are not tolerated on this wiki. Make sure to state your opinions in a polite way, and try to agree to disagree.

**Please do not remove photos from a page without asking an administrator first.** They have put a lot of work into finding the photos of this wiki and removing photos without their permission is disrespectful to the work that they have put in to this great wiki.

**English is the official language from this wiki.** All the edits must be in American English. If you're not an English native speaker, please use a translator to add information to pages or ask another user to help you. When commenting, using the chat and using the forum, you still have to do it in English.

**Make sure to follow this rules on the wiki.** Not having read these policies is not an excuse. In case you need help or you don't understand a policy, feel free to contact an administrator.

## Editing Policies

**Do not create/remove templates without notifying an administrator.** Make sure to notify an administrator if a certain template is needed in order to create it, otherwise, the template will be deleted. In addition, do not remove templates from pages unless they are falsely added, and please refrain from drastically changing templates unless it is necessary.

**Do not remove information unless you know it is false.** Removing content based on your dislike of a particular pairing or any other topic is considered vandalism. If you are removing outdated information, please specify that it is outdated when it asks what you have changed.

**Do not create a page with false information.** Don't create pages with false information or pages that are completely irrelevant to Chloe Lukasiak; also don't add unnecessary categories to pages. Adding duplicate pages is not allowed either.

Do not rename pages into something useless.

### Unnecessary Edits

Unnecessary editing is defined as making edits that make no contribution to the page whatsoever. The following list contains different edits that fall under the category of unnecessary:

1. Changing the Infobox picture from pages.
2. Rewording sentences without a valid explanation.
3. Taking off and adding back punctuation marks without any reason.
4. Taking off information then putting it back on.

Take into account that an administrator can determine whether the edits made by users falls under this category or not. If you disagree with the decision taken by the administrator, feel free to start a discussion about the problem in the Admin noticeboard, so other admins can check on it and determine what to do with your case.

12. If someone is bothering you, quickly find a chat moderator (a user with a star next to their name) and tell them or leave the chat and send an chat moderator or admin a message on their wall.

## Image Policies

The **image policy** explains requirements and suggestions for image files, their quality, and uploading them to galleries.

### Uploading images

Images can be uploaded from Special:Upload. When uploading an image, make sure it is of the best resolution possible. If there are duplicate images, the image of better quality will be kept.

The file must follow the following file name and sourcing requirements **if** it is to be used in an article or gallery. Images for personal use, such as profiles and message wall threads, are exempt from these rules.
