Rules

Please keep basic internet safety in mind while using our Wiki, and don't share personal identifying information (full name, location, etc.) or upload photos of yourself. If someone acts strange towards you or asks for personal information, report it to a moderator! *(Copied from the Wings of Fire Wiki as this applies everywhere.)*

When a page mentions 'the creators', it is referring to SkyDragonAerial, MalleablePlatypus, and TheMangoPirate, the three people who were part of the original Animus Project RP thread.

1. **Follow Fandom's Terms of Use**. This applies to all Wikis across the Fandom community.
2. **Keep it civil**: Do not make personal attacks on other people. If you need to criticize another user’s argument, do so without attacking them as a person. Do not use bigoted language, including slurs that degrade another person or group of people based on gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc.
	1. You will receive a warning if you are being hurtful and if your behavior continues you will be banned.
3. **Mature content is not permitted**, including sexual or suggestive content, nudity (including male or female nipples, even if censored), violent or gory images, depictions of suicide or self-harm, jokes and discussion of cults, and discussion of real-life drug use (or explicit discussion of fictional drug use). Written representations of gore or torture cannot exceed the amounts of gore or torture present in *Wings of Fire*. *(Copied from the Wings of Fire Wiki because this also applies to our Wiki.)*
	1. The Animus Project has the same level of violence as canon *Wings of Fire*. This is an AU (alternate universe), so some aspects of canon have been altered to fit the AU. Just because it is an AU, though, does not mean we allow violence or mature content that exceeds *Wings of Fire* standards.
		1. You may post horror art or art including wounds but do not make them gory and include a warning and a buffer (an image or large space on your post that blocks users from seeing the art unless they click on the discussion)!
	2. Gore trolls will immediately and permanently be banned without warning. We do not tolerate trolls like this in any manner.
	3. Shipping rules:
		1. If shipping an immortal character with an non-immortal character, the non-immortal character has to be an adult when they meet for the first time.
4. **Please ask permission to make your own Animus Project AU OC!** This is a personal project of the three of us (stated below) and we've made this Wiki for others to enjoy. It's easier for us to organize if users *ask* to make OCs. Please respect this!
	1. You can ask SkyDragonAerial (most active), MalleablePlatypus, or TheMangoPirate for permission. We have the right to respectfully deny you permission.
5. **Do NOT steal/copy any of the characters or OCs on this Wiki.** This applies everywhere, but we especially do not tolerate it here. If someone shares an OC (original character), you do not have permission to steal that OC's lore, looks, personality, etc unless specifically stated otherwise by the owner. This also applies to the characters of the AP AU. You do NOT have permission to explicitly copy anyone with or without a page. This includes heavy inspiration, tracing, or other methods of copying OCS/characters.
	1. Failure to abide by this will result in a warning and possibly further action.
	2. Depending on what the owner of the character wants, you may be able to draw fanart of the character. Always ask permission to draw or write about OCs or characters.
6. **Keep discussions mostly on topic.** This Wiki is for our AU and we don't want discussions clogged up by spammy off-topic posts. You **can** make off-topic posts in the Off-Topic category, but give them more than just a few words. Posts like a simple 'hi' and nothing else will be deleted.
	1. This means that you can talk about other series you enjoy but keep it strictly in your Off-Topic disscussion thread.
	2. This also means that you can post off topic writing and art! (Keep those in the OT category as well.)
	3. While you can't make one-word posts, you can make hello posts! If you're new to the Wiki, you are more than welcome to make an introduction post!
		1. This also means you can make an announcement post (*not* in the Wiki Announcements category) if you are leaving the Wiki. This mainly applies to users who contribute frequently.
7. **Do not engage in excessive self-promotion**: The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. It is NOT a free place to advertise your related website, YouTube channel, blog, social media account, etc. Have a question about whether your link would be welcome? Ask an administrator!
	1. If you post a YouTube video and would like others to see it, ask an administrator if you can post it.
8. **Do not harass other users**: If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes. It is their wall.
9. **Do follow the community editing guide when editing**: We have rules set for non-creator users to follow. The editing guidelines can be found here.

***We want you to have a fun and safe time here on the Wiki. If anyone is bothering you or you need help with anything, talk to us! We don't bite.* *^^***
