Category War Wiki/Rules

## Wiki Rules

It should go without saying that many of the rules on the Surreal Memes Wiki also apply here.

1. All articles on the wiki must pertain in some way, whether it be an article about a character, item, weapon, base, ship, organization, event, or battle, to the Jonathan Crisis. Any articles that don't meet this criteria can and will be deleted by an admin or a moderator. If you want to make a non-canon article, make it in blog posts.

2. It's generally a good idea to avoid giving articles gibberish, duplicate, or specific alignment (Ex: Things like Chaotic Vile and Lawful Moral) categories (They won't be very populated with such specific alignments, just leave it at alignments found on the 3x3 alignment table instead of the 11x11 alignment table. Save things found on the 11x11 alignment charts for a character's infobox instead of its page). You also shouldn't give articles categories that don't relate to said article (Ex 2: Giving the Alliance article the Members of the Resistance category).

3. Don't edit a page with blatantly incorrect information (Ex: Editing the Resistance article so that it says that every member of the Resistance died of spontaneous combustion).

4. Don't claim ownership of articles. Even if you were the one that introduced something to the Jonathan Crisis roleplay, other people can still edit the articles of the things you introduce. Even still, it is recommended that major changes (such as changes to story elements, character, appearance, etc. etc.) should be passed by the owner of the page before adding.

5. Don't vandalize. This includes vandalism of other people's userpages and message wall greetings.

6. Harassment, trolling, feeding trolls, discrimination, using slurs (except as an example, in which case censor them), generally posting offensive content, and having an inappropriate username are all prohibited.

7. Avoid participating in flame wars or edit wars.

7.5. **do not**

8. Don't spam. This includes article creation spam, message spam, discussions post spam, etc.

9. Engaging in arguments about real-world politics is not allowed here. This is not a wiki about politics.

10. Don't mark long pages, high-quality pages, or pages that have no relevant information left to add as stubs.

11. Don't ask for or give out the personal information of someone else. That's considered doxxing.

12. Encouraging others to break the rules is not allowed.

12 but again. We have fixed the gas leak

13. Make reasonable blocks with reasonable block times if you're in a position of power on this wiki.

14. Admins and moderators should have good reasons for deleting articles. Deleting an article because it doesn't relate to the Jonathan Crisis is a valid reason. Deleting an article because you wanted to see how long before people would notice that is has been deleted is not a valid reason.

15. Don't delete the wiki's main page or any pages marked under the Important category.

16. Getting blocked by an admin or moderator here and coming back with an alt is considered ban evasion. Ban evasion also warrants a block.

17**. *Possibly the most important rule on here:*** Please no fireworks or other things which make fire or smoke on the wiki. We've had numerous requests to stop by the fire marshal, and he's getting very annoyed now.

18. If a page is under "semi-canon", please check to see if the page has a subpage before linking; most of the main characters (i.e. people with FANDOM accounts) have pages for both the main Jonathan Crisis and Category War (novelisation/spinoff of the JC that isn't really canon to the main JC)

## Roleplay Rules

These pertain to the Jonathan Crisis roleplay instead of the wiki.

1. Don't handwave something out of the Jonathan Crisis (especially something major) with some sort of absurd claim or make an absurd action on behalf of someone else (only exception is your own OCs) (Ex: Saying that Jonathan had a heart attack and died (he can probably have them but they wouldn't be fatal) or saying the Pillar Lord decided to turn on the Alliance because he thought it would be funny).

2. Don't hijack someone else's OCs unless the owner of said OCs are alright with you doing that. If they do let you do that, don't make them do something out-of-character. (Ex: Saying that Beanley, a chaotic evil character who regularly calls his opponents some variation of "twat", decided to stop calling people twats because he thought it was stupid).

3. Don't invade the roleplay with completely irrelevant/offensive content.

4. You may only join the roleplay if invited by:

-GreaterA

-PoseidonHeir

-GarfielfStuff/Ank57

5. Don't spam.

6. If you're told to stop doing something, then you should stop.

6 (2). This is not a furry roleplay.

6 (2) (2). Make sure you plan to actually stick around before you strand everyone in the middle of nowhere.

6 (3). Don't excessively break the fourth wall to the point that it becomes impossible to re-build it.
