”

This page is, essentially, a set of rules that are set and expected to be followed as long as you participate in the growth of the *Once Upon a Time* Wiki. These guidelines apply to adding images, making pages, editing the Wiki and everything in between. These policies may change at any time, and do not represent *all* community guidelines.

## Respect for Others

* All users, regardless of status, are required to show the utmost respect to others at all times. No slander, harassment or insults will be tolerated at any time.
* No minimodding. **Minimodding** occurs when a user oversteps the boundaries of their authority. (Such as warning another user about a policy violation)
	+ We encourage users to make others aware of our policies, but actual warnings are the responsibility of the Wiki staff. (The sole exception to this is any content that insults or slanders a user personally)
	+ If you see any policy violations, please bring it up to a member of the Wiki Staff

## User Behavior

* **Vandalism will not be tolerated**. Vandalism can come in many forms, ranging from deleting a portion of the page without proper reason to adding gibberish or foul language. If someone becomes a vandal, the administrators have the right to block the person for an indefinite amount of time depending on the severity of the act.
* Comments on pages are expected to be appropriate. This means that there should be no inappropriate language, the comment should not be irrelevant, and should not be inflammatory. All comments are expected to use decent spelling, grammar and punctuation. Any comments insulting or harassing any users will deleted; such comments will also result in blocks. For more information about what kind of comments are allowed on article pages, see the comment policies.
* In the case of an edit war, the two opposing people are expected to solve their problem for themselves. Get a neutral party to give an opinion. If they cannot do that, an administrator will step in.
* We do ask that major format changes (such as adding or deleting sections on articles) be run by the community *first* to get a consensus. Ask any administrator for details, or feel free to start a discussion thread on the suggested change/addition on the Wiki related discussion board.
* *Insulting/slandering other users is not permitted*. It is the right of any user to remove, or request the removal of, any comment, blog, forum, or message wall post that is insulting or slanderous to them personally. Harassing users in this way will result in lengthy blocks.

## If You Are Blocked/Banned

* If you are blocked or banned and want to appeal it, please use your message wall on THIS Wiki, or contact an administrator on their wall on the Community Central Wiki.
* If you are blocked/banned on *this* Wiki, it is ***NOT*** appropriate to follow **any** Admin to another Wiki they work on to protest. This **will** result in your block being extended here, and likely get you a block on the other Wiki.
* If you are blocked/banned by one of our Admins on *another* Wiki, do not follow the Admin here to complain. This will result in a block here and possibly an extension on the Wiki in question.

## Site Purpose

* This is a Wiki for the ABC television series *Once Upon a Time*. We are not affiliated with any other English *Once Upon a Time* Wikis. As such, our content should not be posted on these kinds of sites. Neither should their content be posted on ours. Please be respectful of other people's hard work.
* We have a featured article nomination here, a featured image nomination here, and a featured quote nomination here. All features will be reviewed by the administrators and, if decided to be meeting the standards, they will put it on the queue. There will be new features every month. If you have any questions, go to Gigi.
* You can add questions to the weekly poll here. The **Poll Team** consists of Applegirl and Killian Jones. There will be a new poll every week. If you have any questions, you may speak to any one of them, or leave a comment on the Poll Submissions page.

### Canonicity of Media

* What is canonicity? Something is *canon* if it is considered valid in the *Once Upon a Time* universe. For example, an event occurring in a promotional video is *not* canon to an overall timeline: the event didn't really occur.
* Where it applies, the *Once Upon a Time* Wiki treats events and statements made in other show-related media (such as books) as canon. This includes *Once Upon a Time in Wonderland*.
	+ The order of canonicity is show -> writer/producer -> cast member -> other sources. This means, when a statement/event from another source contradicts something occurring/said in-show, or a statement from a writer/creator/producer, the show event or crew member statement will be what is considered canon.

### Profile Tags

* Certain users with administration approved privileges have custom profile tags on their profile header.

## Editing Policy

### Page Creation

Some kinds of pages that should NOT be created on the Wiki are:

* Family tree pages
* Individual fan-based "shipping" pairing pages - Such as Rumbelle, CaptainSwan, SwanQueen, SleepingWarrior, Swanfire, etc.
* Pages for character relationships - such as "Emma and Henry", "Rumplestiltskin and Cora", etc.
* Pages for background characters, items or locations. An example of background character would be a random knight at the Evil Queen's service.

### Page Format

* To see what a sample episode transcript page format looks like, click here. For further inquiries about transcripts, please see the leader of the **Transcript Team**, Utter solitude.

### General Page Edits

* All information edited into a character/item/location/episode page **must** be written in the user's own words. Do NOT copy and paste in information taken from other sites--including pasting in character history summaries, whole episode recaps, and/or trivia information. Even if hypothetically you wrote something on another site, and paste it onto one of the pages on this Wiki, this would not be acceptable because the information will have the appearance of having been copied from another website domain. Do NOT take summaries or information from another site and try to switch or reword paragraphs to make it look like your own work.
* Do NOT add categories that are inappropriate for the page.
* Do NOT create new categories without a previous discussion or administrator's permission. For discussing your own suggestion of a new category, please post a discussion thread on this forum board.

### Character Edits

* Each article page follows what the character's name is given as in either the casting call or official ABC press release. The inclusion of the character's surname, along with the first name, in an article page is also allowed, even if the surname wasn't given on the press release. An example of this naming system is: Mary Margaret is the name given for the character on the press release, and her surname that is given within the show is Blanchard, so her page name is Mary Margaret Blanchard.
	+ Note that only the press release name should be bolded on the introduction sentence of "\_\_\_ is a character on ABC's *Once Upon a Time*". If a surname exists, but is not included on the press release name, it remains in the introduction sentence but it is NOT bolded. Example introduction sentence: **Mary Margaret** Blanchard is a character on ABC's *Once Upon a Time*.
	+ A new character page may be named as per the name in the casting call, but can be changed if the character appears in a newer episode with a different name. Example: Mulan was given the codename "Magnolia" in her casting call, but her press release name was later confirmed to be Mulan.
	+ Also note that promos and sneak peek videos are not considered reliable sources of information for adding in facts about a character unless the upcoming episode with that information has already aired. Therefore, any new information learned in promos or sneak peeks will not be added onto the pages until the episode actually airs.
	+ Be aware that despite a character being called one name in the promo, the structure of this Wiki is to **always** follow the name given for the character on the episodic press release, and no secondary names are added until the new episode has aired. This means even if the character is named in a promo or sneak peek under a different name, that name will not affect the character's actual page name, and may only be added in as a listed secondary name after the episode finishes airing. Example: the Thief from "The Outsider" is Robin Hood. His name was used in the promo for that episode. However, the ABC press release for the episode listed him as "Thief", so that was the title the Wiki used. This helps relieve confusion when we use one consistent source.
* For appearances listing on episode pages, the names of the characters confirmed to appear in an episode are written in as per what the official ABC press release says. Example: Greg Mendell was named in the press release for "In the Name of the Brother" as "Stranger" even though it was already known his actual name is Greg Mendell. So, for the episode appearances section for "In the Name of the Brother", he is credited as "Stranger" and not "Greg Mendell".
	+ . An episode credits slide, like the ones used to credit co-stars at the end of every episode, is the sole exception to this. An in-show credits slide will supersede a press release.
* For writing character history summaries, nicknames of the characters, or shortened versions of the character name are NOT used; such as Rumplestiltskin becoming "Rumple", or Mr. Gold being referred to as "Gold". Counterpart pages are separate. Example: If you are writing on Mary Margaret's page, you do not write her in as Snow White for history edits.
* Some characters have two pages to show their counterparts before and after the curse, while others only have one page. The general rule, at this point, is characters who do not have a distinguishing second identity (such as a personality change) after they were affected by a curse or crossed realms do not require two pages. This system is highly debatable and may change depending on what the majority of the community wants. For discussion on this topic, please see this thread.

### Trivia Edits

* For episode page trivia, it should include information pertinent to the episode and is listed under three subheadings: "Production Notes", "Event Chronology" and "Episode Connections". For an example of what a complete trivia section looks like, please see **here**. All episodic trivia should be listed in the order the trivia point occurs in the episode.
* Production Notes - interesting episodic facts or behind the scenes workings involved in writing/filming the episode itself.
* Event Chronology - Explains the occurrence of events before and after the episode. Should describe the timeline of events for the Enchanted Forest events set in the episode, as well as the Storybrooke events.
* Episode Connections - any in-episode references that relate to events which either already occurred in a previous or future episode. Should follow the order the connections come up in the episode.
* Information that should **NOT** be listed under either episode or character/location/item page trivia:
	+ Speculation - Trivia that is not a true fact. If it is a fact, the information must be verifiable either in-episode or from use of a proper article reference (excluding fansites, tumblr, gossip columns like PerezHilton and WetPaint). Tweets may be used as references if it is a verified response from an actor or writer of the show. Information that does not have a reference, or has no source to show where it came from will be immediately removed.
	+ Major history plot points - Sentences that detail major plot points in an episode is unnecessary. Examples of major plot points would be, "Snow White biting the apple is what happens in the Disney movie" or "Rumplestiltskin makes a deal with Cinderella". However, obscure or not well known information is acceptable to write in as trivia. An obscure or not well known point would be something not everyone would know from watching the episode. For example, "Graham's last name is Humbert" or "The Star Wars theme is the ringtone of the Outsider" could be considered obscure enough to write in as trivia.
	+ "Mirroring" references - Sentences that describe how one scene mirrors the other.
	+ Disney and Lost references - This Wiki already has List of Disney References and List of Lost References pages to use for listing references from Disney or Lost, so do not add them under episode or character page trivia. There are some exceptions. A Disney owned franchise, which is not a Disney made franchise, such as Star Wars or Marvel, may be written in as trivia.
	+ "Counting" trivia - Detailing that something has occurred for the nth time, unless something is a *first* occurrence. For example, "Belle is the third Disney princess to appear on the show".
	+ Familial relations - Adding relatives or blood relations under trivia. The infobox template on each character page already has a section for editing in relatives. In the case of when a character's page already has a "Family" section under the "History" section, the "Family" parameter of the infobox should be changed to link to the section accordingly.

### Appearances Edits

* For the appearances template on a character/item/location page, only add "appearing" if the character/item/location is a physical manifestation within the episode. For example: Granny's Diner appearing in the background of an episode scene, or Mary Margaret's ring is seen on her hand. For "mentioned", only add it if the character/item/location is referred to by a character.
* Photos, pictures or drawings of a character/item/location absolutely do NOT count as "appearing" or "mentions", and should not be altered as such on the appearances templates. Instead, a bullet list should be made under the appearances template to show it.
	+ A character's name reference should not be added under appearances including when the name appears in the newspaper, cellphone or on a personal possession (such as Mary Margaret's credit card, Emma's blanket, Henry's gravestone, Michael's uniform shirt, David's telephone records, Rumplestiltskin's dagger). In some cases, the name reference can be added if the item is of obscure origin such as the squid ink scroll with Emma's name on it, or the list Tamara had with the townspeople's Storybrooke and fairytale counterpart names.
	+ The same can be said for name referencing items or locations. Just because an item or location has its name on something does not mean it needs to be listed under appearances. Example: The "Storybrooke" name being on the town welcome sign.
	+ Photo/poster/drawing mentions on the bullet list should NOT be listed IF the character physically made an appearance in the episode itself. When the character is absent from an episode yet a photo/poster/drawing is seen of the character, then the photo mention can be added in. Photographic images in the newspaper are included in this category.
	+ Storybook picture mentions are added no matter if the character physically appeared in the episode of not.

### Quotes Edits

* For adding in a quote on character/item/location pages using the quote template, there needs to be a consensus in the comments concerning this. Put the quote in a comment, and ask other users if they find the quote favorable for the page, or if anyone has a better quote that can be suggested. A consensus of at least five affirmative votes is necessary for the character quote to be changed.
	+ If the consensus is reached, but there are differing ideas regarding the quote that are similar in number, the "winning" results will be enforced, but voting continues until it's clear there is a consensus for said results. Say, if 5 users agree to one quote while 4 other users agree to another, the winning quote will be added, but people would still be able to voice their opinions.

### Fluff Edits

* Fluff editing will not be tolerated. Fluff editing includes, but is not limited to, changing of the codework in source mode when the change will not alter the actual appearance of the page**\***. Such a change may be tolerable if there is another change in the edit as well. Basically, if your edit does not make a VISIBLE change on the page, it is fluff.

**(\*)** In some cases, the codework has to be fixed without any relevant change on the appearance of the page. This is the case of links fixing, for instance. These edits are NOT considered fluff edits.
### Edit Warring

* An *edit war* is the repeated undoing of edits (or readding information) by different editors. This is unproductive and detrimental to the Wiki.
	+ The Once Upon a Time Wiki defines an "edit war" as occurring when one editor reverts (either via undo, rollback or by adding/removing information manually) an edit three times in a short period (usually 48 hours).
* If someone undoes an edit of yours, it is NOT appropriate to undo their edit. Please, start a discussion in the article's comment section or on the forums to reach a consensus. You can make your case for your opinion there and get unbiased opinions on the subject.
* Once an edit war gets too heated, the article in question might be temporarily **locked** so a consensus can be reached.
* Any editors engaged in edit warring will be warned, and possibly blocked, depending on the situation.

### User Page Edits

* Users are allowed to edit their own User Page however they want, as long as they don't interfere with other areas of the wiki. This means a user is not free to categorize their page, for instance. Administrators can and will edit a user page if it is categorized or if it uses a template that does not belong to a user page.
	+ Users can include as many links as they want in their user page. If a page that is being linked to gets deleted or renamed, an administrator can edit the user page to fix the link.
* Users are also entitled to making subpages to their User Page. Examples of subpages are User:Nightlily/Timeline or User:Crash815/Enchanted Forest Timeline.
* Do NOT edit somebody else's user page unless you have express permission from the user itself or from an administrator. Otherwise, editing somebody else's userpage may result in a warning and, eventually, a block.

## Spoiler Policy

* Spoilers need to come from a *reliable* source, and should be referenced in articles.

### Reliable Sources

* Sources that are usually reliable will always link back to the article they got the information from; some tumblr blogs and Wikis do this. IMDB is not always correct, and due to any registered user having access to edit information on there, IMDB is not trusted as a true source. Please do not use fan sites of Once Upon a Time as source or reference links.
	+ When adding character appearances in future episodes, it must be from a reliable source such as a professional media organization or from the actor him or herself. An image that is not directly stated to have been taken during filming of a given episode is not an acceptable source.

### Speculation Edits

* Pages for a character, item, or location that does not exist in the *Once Upon a Time* universe, or has not been confirmed to appear by a reliable source, such as a press release, cannot be created.
* We do not add information to already existing articles that is *unreasonably presumed* to be fact, has not appeared on the show, or has not been confirmed by a reliable source. It is the practice of this Wiki to consider information learned from promotional material and sneak peeks of upcoming episodes to be speculation, and such information should not be added until the episode itself concludes airing.

## Image Policy

* ALL images must directly relate to the show; this includes episode stills, promotional photos released by ABC, and actor photos. **No other types of images should be uploaded to the Wiki.** This means no fan art or fan-made Once Upon a Time material.
	+ Promotional photos come directly from ABC. We currently have an official, sanctioned link to ABC for this purpose, and these images are uploaded by Utter solitude. Please do not upload promotional images, as any promotional images not obtained through this channel violate our agreement.
	+ Our use of official ABC promotional photos is allowed by ABC; however, ABC reserves the right to ask us to remove any or all pictures from this Wiki.
* Do not upload any images that violate any copyright. Acceptable internet sources for episodes stills are: Netflix, Hulu, ABC.com, iTunes, and Amazon. These websites have licensing agreements with ABC to carry the show. No other websites are acceptable. If you own seasons of the show on DVD or Blu-ray, this is also an acceptable source.
* Do not upload cropped images.
* **Do not** upload images *just* to place on a user page. Any such images will be deleted. If you would like to use images not appearing on the Wiki, you can upload them to a whitelisted site, such as Flickr or Photobucket, and use the direct image url to have them on your userpage.
* When uploading images, please use the following naming style: "xyyzzz" where "x" is the season number (1, 2 or 3), yy is the episode number, and zzz is a short description. An example would be "101Book1.jpg". This identifies that the image is from Season 1, episode 01, ("Pilot") and describes what is in the photo. Users who do not comply with this rule will be notified, and if the user continues to ignore the proper photo naming format, he or she will be blocked as necessary. Do not use punctuation (! & , etc) in file names.
* The proper naming format for Infobox photos is "InfoboxXX" or "InfoboxXXXX", where the XX is the initials (in the case of actors and crew) or name (in the case of stories or other media) of the subject.
* **For images from *Once Upon a Time in Wonderland*, follow the above naming policy with the addition of a 'W' placed at the beginning of the image's name.**
* **For images from the *Once Upon a Time* Comics, the format is the following: XXYYYYY, where XX is either SQ for Shadow of the Queen or OP for Out of the Past and YYYY is a short description.**
* The *Once Upon a Time* Wiki does NOT use photos watermarked by other sites; any such images will be immediately deleted. Additionally, please do not take watermarked photos and crop out said watermark; photos doctored this way will be deleted as well.
* Do not upload images with an ABC or CTV logo.
* Do not upload images from Tumblrs, Fanpop, Seriable, or any social media site.
* Do not upload images with letterboxing ("bars" around the image).
	+ There is an exception to this rule: occasionally, some letterboxing exists in the actual episode itself (this has been found on DVDs and Blu-rays, as well as Netflix). In this case, letterboxing is permitted.
* **Do not upload images that already exist on the Wiki** - Please check the galleries you intend to put the image in, and see if the photo already exists on the site. Duplicate photos added to a gallery will be deleted from the Wiki.
* If you upload an image, you must place it in *all* applicable galleries, and place it in its proper chronological place. Other people should not have to do your work for you, and not following this rule may result in a block.
* If you upload an image, you *must* license it properly. This is done by using the dropdown on the upload prompts, or by visiting the file page and adding the proper template. Images not licensed will be deleted.
* If you have any questions regarding our naming policies or what images are or are not acceptable, please ask any administrator.

### Galleries

* Galleries are to contain images only. This means no GIF images.
* When taking screenshots to save as photos and upload onto any gallery, please utilize the entire screen. Do not upload irregular shaped photos that only capture part of the screen as those are not acceptable, and will be subject to deletion.
* Gallery pictures should be either pictures of the character or of the episode from the show and not of other profiles of that character.
* If creating a Gallery page, please make sure to formulate it so that it looks like the other pages, with a Gallery Header and the pictures below.

### Cast Galleries

* Promo and behind the scenes images should be included in cast galleries, sorted by episode, and in the number order they are named in.

### Character Galleries

* Character galleries should include headers for episodes the character appeared in, in chronological order, and photos should be arranged chronologically in each episode section.
* Images that do not show a character's face (such as those showing only the back of their head) or their full body should not be included in galleries.

### Episode Galleries

* Episode galleries should have episode stills, promo photos, deleted scenes and behind the scenes photos in separate sections. The episode stills section should be in chronological order. Do not sort promo photos into any character galleries.

### Location/Item Galleries

* Include only images that clearly show a significant portion of the interior or exterior of a location or item. Extreme closeups inside a location should not be included.
	+ An example would be Regina sitting in a chair in her office that shows only Regina. Since there is not a significant view of the location, it should not be included in the location gallery.

### Infobox Images

* If you would like to change an infobox image on a character's page, we require that you post in the comments section of the page, and get a consensus, namely at least five affirmative votes from users, on what image should be used *first*. Note that in doing this, the image's whole URL link on the Wiki itself can be added in the comment, but do not copy and paste in the bracketed "File:\_\_\_.jpg" or "File:\_\_\_png" as it will post the actual image in your comment. This helps prevent edit wars over images. A photo which is cropped out to use as a character's profile photo should not be placed in any gallery.
	+ Any questions or concerns about suggesting a photo or getting a consensus can be directed towards an administrator.
* Cropped images are discouraged from being used in infoboxes, and will only be accepted when absolutely necessary.
* This Wiki does not use promotional or behind the scenes photos as infobox template photos. In other words, those type of photos should not be used on character/item/location pages as profile images.
* An administrator may step in and add a temporary image until a consensus can be reached to ensure that articles have infobox photos.
* Additionally, pages lacking infobox photos will utilize a generic image ("NoImage.jpg"). This aids contributors in identifying articles that lack infobox images. (Click here for this generic image's file page. The pages the image is used on are those that lack infobox images.)
* After an agreement has been reached and an article's image updated, the nomination thread will be deleted.
* On a general basis, the consensus policy does not apply to cast and crew pages or story pages ***for the original image on the page***. When uploading an image for a cast or crew page, it should be titled "InfoboxAB", "AB" being the cast or crew members initials. For a story page, it should be titled "Infobox\_\_\_", with the space being the title of the story. **However** if an image is already in place at the time the page is created and a new image is suggested, **then** a consensus of five editors must be reached.

## Chat Policies

### Unacceptable Behaviors

* Excessive use of caps
* Excessive cursing
* Harassment/slander of another user - this includes insults directed at the room, or users
* Spam/trolling/"invading"
	+ Please do not bring users from another Wiki to our chat room to discuss non-*Once Upon a Time'* issues. It is disrespectful to our users. If you need a separate place to discuss something, use Community Central.
* Excessive linking to another Wiki/outside site
* Entering chat **just** to advertise another Wiki/chat/site/etc.
* Entering chat **just** to complain/protest a ban/block on another Wiki
* Users engaging in the above behaviors will be warned by an administrator or chat moderator. If the behavior continues, they will be "kicked" from the chat. If the user returns and continues, they will be banned for a period of time. If the behaviors continue after blocking, longer blocks will result.
	+ It is the discretion of the administrators or chat moderators to extend bans, and to ban without kicking, depending on the severity of the offending behaviors.
* If you witness a case of violation to the Chat Policies...
	+ And there are no administrators or chat mods around, you can contact one of them in their message walls.
	+ But there is at least one available administrator or chat mod, restrain from getting involved. It is not appropriate to request a kick/ban.

### Age

* To comply with COPPA, all Wikia users must be 13 years old or over. This is enforced on *Once Upon a Time* Wiki. If it becomes known in chat (or out) that a user is under 13, they will be blocked.

## Sockpuppeting

* "Sockpuppeting", using another account to circumvent a ban or block, is not permitted on *Once Upon a Time* Wiki. If it becomes known that a user is sockpuppeting, their sockpuppet will be infinitely blocked, and the block/ban the original account will be extended.

### Alternate Accounts

* On the other hand, using another account even when the original account has not been ban or blocked will not be allowed either. The Once Upon a Time Wiki takes many decisions in a community consensus basis, and therefore having multiple accounts would allow a user to give their opinion more than once in order to give an impression of consensual agreement. If an account is known to be an alternate one, it will be blocked, and the user will be warned.

## Comment Policies

### Purpose of Comments

* Comments are to be utilized to discuss changes to the article. For example; changing an infobox image, giving a reference to a spoiler or update that applies to the page, suggesting the addition or removal of a section, etc. Please note that the five vote consensus applies **only** to infobox image and quote changes, not to major updates to an article's content.
* Comment threads that have been inactive for over 30 days will be deleted at administration's discretion.
* **Do not** use comments to discuss theories or thoughts on the article's subject. Please use the forums for this.

## Forum Policies

* We expect all users utilizing our forums to be respectful of each other. Slander, harassment, and insults will result in lengthy blocks without question, and the offending post will be removed.
	+ Deleting any such comments does not make them disappear, even removed comments can be seen, including post revisions, and removed content is subject to these rules.
* Do not post the same thread or reply more than once. Be aware that you can flag multiple topics in one thread. There is no need to post things repeatedly, and such actions will result in warnings and blocks.
* Refrain from using excessive caps. There's no need to shout.
* Do not put images in forum threads. Use a text link.
* Do not start threads **just** to advertise or spam. Such threads will be deleted.
* Keep the thread on topic as much as possible. Remember, you can always change to another topic and start a discussion there! Threads that go off topic excessively and for a long period of time will be considered spam, and may be closed because of it.
* Threads that go inactive for more than six months, meaning there have been no new posts will be deleted with the exception of the Staff Board, the Help Desk and any other thread containing vital information at the admins' discretion. Subject to appeal.

## Video Policies

* Videos **must** be appropiate, if music videos are embedded they **must** be clean **NO EXCEPTIONS**. Any videos *not* exceptable will be delayed in sight.
* Do not upload duplicate videos.
* Do not upload videos *just* to use them on a user profile. This is a waste of server space.

### Renaming Videos

* Since videos can not be uniquely named on upload, please notify an administrator if you upload videos so it can be renamed. Only admins have the ability to rename videos.
