Rules

## Preface

**Disclaimer: The information on this wiki should not be used for real aviation, and is solely intended for flight simulation.**

Welcome to this wiki! This is an open-source wiki, so anyone including yourself can edit it! If you find any false-information or anything you think could be rephrased, feel free to edit it! Please read the rules below before doing this.

If you are new, please also check out this page.

## Editing Rules

1. **Use British English.** To keep the wiki as tidy and consistent, please use Full British English (not American English), including using good grammar and spelling. If you spot something wrong, please reinforce this rule, and let an admin know! An example on the difference between British English and American English can be found here.
2. **Do not vandalise.** Please don't vandalise anything on the wiki, as this is highly disrespectful to the admin team, and any editors on the article because they have spent time and effort to make the page as great as possible!
3. **No copyrighted content!** No content on the wiki should be subject to copyright, or be watermarked in any way.
4. **Do not create pages with nonsensical or innapropriate content.** This offence includes using profane language, insults to others, hate speech, and pornographic content.
5. **Do not remove any banners or infoboxes,** as this counts as vandalism. They help the next contributors and viewers find out more about the page, and it is important you don't remove them.
6. **Never plagarise any article, or use an AI Chatbot.** This counts as plagarism, and is illegal in most countries!

## House Rules

**These rules apply everywhere on the wiki, including the comments sections, walls, pages, and forums!**

1. **Kindness is paramount!** Please be kind to everywhere, and also show them respect! They try their best on the wiki, so it feels really terrible when someone insults them about their efforts.
2. **Do not use profane language or NSWF Content.** Profane language is **completely banned**, as this may be inappropriate for some of our users. **This rule also prohibits all not safe for work content, including hate speech, offensive language, pornograhic content, sexual content, and abuse.**
3. **Follow administrator's instructions!** Listen to administrator instructions; they know best!
4. **No impersonation of administrators or anyone.** Do not impersonate administrators or anyone else, as this may result in a ban!
5. **Follow the Fandom Community Guidelines!** Find them here.
6. **Please don't attempt to find loopholes or flaws in the rules!** Please don't. I spent writing them! Use your common sense.

If you disobey or break the rules intentionally, then you may receive a reprimand as follows from the chart below.

## Making a new page

When creating a new page, please follow these rules to keep the page at a consistent quality.

1. **Do not create any pages that are off topic** of the *Aviation Club,* for example, a page titled "Stuffed Teddies" would probably not do.
2. **Follow all the editing and house rules.** No exceptions, you must follow all of these rules, or risk facing your editorial permissions removed.
3. **Do not plagiarise details from other wikis, like Wikipedia.** You must never plagiarise, as it is illegal in most countries.
4. **Do not use any AI Chatbots to write your article.** Never use any chatbots like *ChatGPT, Bing AI, BlenderBot, or Kuki AI Companion,* as it is possible for us to link these details back to the AI. **This counts as plagarism.**
5. **Always use an infobox when possible.** Infoboxes make the page look a lot more professional, and help the next contributor continue research more easily.
6. **Label the page with the Stub banner.** If you don't know how to do this, then the next contributor will be sure to help out!
7. **Apply the corresponding categories,** i.e. if you are creating a page about an airport, then use the airports category.

**For a tutorial on how to make a page for an airline, aircraft, or airport, go to this article.**

## Appeals

**If you feel that you have been wrongly punished or accused, then let an admin know over on an admin's wall. Please follow some simple tips for appealing a reprimand:**

1. **Do not be disrespectful to anyone or the admin team,** if you want to get your editorial permissions back!
2. **Be as formal as possible,** as this makes your point easier to come across!
3. **Be as clear and straight to the point as you can:** This will really help the admin team!
4. **You may not be able to appeal for some cases,** such as if you have been reprimanded for impersonation.
5. **Not knowing the rules is not a valid excuse.** For not reading the rules page before editing, then you may not be able to appeal your case.

**If you fail to appeal your case, we apologise! Please do not attempt to create an alternative account, as this will just extend your ban.**

## Footer

**Wow, you made it to the bottom!** Thanks for reading. If you find any flaws or are confused about these rules, please let an admin know in the comments section.
