## Rules about Articles

### Character Rules

As this is the RWBY Fanfiction Wiki, this wiki is for RWBY Fanfictions, meaning fanfiction alternatives of the canon characters are allowed on this wiki. One can pretty much do anything with their pages as long as it adheres to canon RWBY Lore. However, there are some rules that must be followed when it comes to character creation on this wiki.

1. Characters in RWBY must be:
	* A color
	* Something that sounds like a color
	* Something that means a color
	* Something that makes you think of a color
	* If that character is on a team, then the first character of their name\* must fit in a 4 letter acronym that spells a team name that must also be:
	* A color
	* Something that sounds like a color
	* Something that means a color
	* Something that makes you think of a color
	* If the character is the leader of the team, they must be the first letter of the team acronym.
	* Colour reference must be included in a Trivia section
	* The character's FIRST name **MUST** be something color related.
	* Circumventing the rule by using nicknames or middle names is not allowed. eg. Bob Green, or Greg "Red" Steve names/variations.
2. All characters that are created on this wiki must follow the No Limits Fallacy on all their abilities which means no abilities such as Mind Manipulation with no limits, Omnipotence, and a character that is immune to every semblance known to the RWBY World.
3. Any character entering any of the Hunstman Academy must be at least **17 years old**. The youngest age that one can be accepted 15. No OCs below the age of 15 are allowed to enter the Academies.
	* Any character created by someone without an account will be promptly deleted with no warning whatsoever.
4. Do not edit other users articles, unless given permission, or if they placed the wrong template in the article if that happen you may put it in its proper order such as putting the right template on there, or categorize it right.
5. If you want to use characters from the actual story you must create their character bio, and then place your name on that character's page, this is to ensure no one mistakes anyone for it being cannon, as well as making sure everyone has their own versions of these characters locked. (Example:Summer Rose (VermillionJester))
	* Articles for characters can be created at your own discretion, but if a character is a focal point of your story it is recommended that you make a page for this character as soon as you could.
	* There is an exception to the make your own article rule, as you can just simply link the page of an item in use, as it doesn't describe the users, or anything that could possibly be mistaken as canon to the story.
