My Hero Academia Universe Wiki:Rules

These are the rules created by the admins of My Hero Academia Universe Wikia, if anyone has any problem with these, please talk to **Sig**, **Aru**...

Admins have their own roles to play in the fanon, however, any admin is available to give you help and advice if you feel you may need it. These roles are as followed:

* Aru works on the **Misc** events and articles that need some general cleaning.
* Yesdi work on the **Formatting** of pages and does a blog *How To:* to help with this.
* Sak focuses on the **Quirk Power Range** ensuring everything has it's weakness and order.
* BDS focuses on the **Character Power Range** ensuring they are ranked properly.
* Sig is the founder of the wikia and so he aids where it is needed.

## Formatting

* As of 5/28/2020, this wiki has a mandatory formatting style that must be followed. As of now, only **Character** and **Quirk** articles are subject to this mandate. Any articles published after this date are subject to a two-day grace period after their publishing. After this period, a failure to follow by the format will result in a verbal warning and potential deletion of the article at the discretion of an admin. **See this blog post to view the mandated formats for** Characters **and** Quirks.

* For the input of categories, only utilize plural pronunciations. This is meant to prevent doubles or categories of similar meaning. An example would be using Quirks instead of Quirk. **Categories must be implemented in every article.** Failure to do so after an article is published for twenty-four hours will result in a warning; continued failure to do so for a total of three days will result in the deletion of the article.

## Article Content

* Bringing concepts from another wiki related to My Hero Academia is fine. However, the explanation and text mustn't be a simple copy-paste, and as such, are to be reworded. Should the concept be from another user without explicit permission, this falls into the category of plagiarism.
* Images are not allowed to be taken from real-world sources. This includes photos, paintings, or videos. Realistic video-game images are also not permitted on the Wiki.

### Templates

* **Characters**: Character Infobox Templates
* **Quirk**: Template:Quirk Infobox
* **Organizations**: Template:Organization
* While custom templates are allowed, we ask that they have **NO** images in them.

## Quirks

* No "birthing" Quirks will be permitted. "Birthing" Quirks are Quirks that allow the otherwise unnatural birth or creation of permanently sentient beings; this falls under the pretense of banning the manipulation of Quirks.

* Characters, no matter their strength, are unable to possess more than one Quirk. This is a separate concept than a Quirk Marriage, which often has a hybrid of two abilities.

* All Quirks must have a weakness. Fatigue is not an appropriate weakness, as all Quirks have the potential to be overused. These weaknesses may be mitigated by hero costumes, but they must be inherently present.

* Quirks cannot be multigenerational. Quirks are allowed to be passed down directly from a parent to their child, but past that generation, the Quirk must have undergone some form of mutation due to the genetic potential of the spouse.

## Character Relations

* No descendants or relatives to canon characters will be allowed, especially given the wiki's nature as a far future. And let's be honest, there's literally no fun in that.
	+ Likewise, utilizing the same Quirk as any canon character is prohibited.

## Community

* Don’t mindlessly call a person's article bad, point out what exactly is wrong or doesn't make sense in it.

* Plagiarism will be treated with a three mark warning, depending on the circumstance.

* Since it is a shared universe, while not forbidden, it is advisable not to use another character's image source. This is especially the case if a person's character has been in a lot of role-plays.

* Don't use people's works without their permission, be polite, ask. We also request that whoever is being asked reciprocates the politeness.

* Claiming an artist's art as your own is heavily frowned upon, much like plagiarism. If you are using their art, be sure to leave their signature or credit them in a trivia section.

## Hero and Villan Ranks

* In order to give a Hero an official ranking, one must send a link to the message wall of Black Dwarf Star of said character with a description of the character’s feats and actions throughout their RPs. Other positive influences of the hero may be included as well (i.e. modeling, teaching, or just having an overall positive influence). The administrative team will then discuss the hero's actions and determine a definitive ranking.
	+ Similarly, this will be used to determine the ranks of villains (S, A, B, C, or D rank). However, the criteria for this will instead be their overall power, intelligence, Quirk, and crimes to determine one's threat level.
