Editing Guideline

Please observe these rules always. If you notice vandalism, revert it. Don't wait for the admins to enforce it.

Read all the rules pages before editing, just reading one doesn't cut it.

Lazy Dungeon Master Wiki policies are statements that carry varying scope and power. In general, they lay out how the site is to be run and what methods should be used to tackle certain issues.

## Basic Rules

1. All edits must be done in English.
2. All edits must be made in good faith.
3. Edit wars will result in a temporary ban for all participants. If an edit is not made in good faith and the editor reverts a revision, please report to an administrator.
4. Talk pages are for discussion regarding edits to the page, not nonsensical comments about the contents of the page.
5. Copyright of uploaded images must be provided. Use {{Template:Image/Light Novel}} or {{Template:Image/Manga}}. You can now assign the correct copyright for Light Novel or Manga images directly from the Add New Image button. Select one of the following under licensing:
This will be used in a way that qualifies as fair use under US law. Light Novel Image
This will be used in a way that qualifies as fair use under US law. Manga Image
6. No unrelated images are to be added to galleries or pages.
7. Galleries should only be created if the corresponding Character was portrayed at least 2 times.
8. In the galleries do not use Manga images. They can only be used as a Character Image, or article image (e.g Create Golem (Skill)).
9. The uploaded image name should be like File:MangaKeima.png, if it is from the manga, or if its an official Youta illustration - File:LN1 - 1.png. **!DO NOT CHANGE IT!**
10. Do not ask to become a Sysop (admin) on the wiki. There is a certain process by which this wiki picks its admins.
11. Do not advertise other sites on this wiki (includes posting outside links), and do not post spam.
12. Do not create articles containing fanon. This wiki deals with the official light novel/web novel/manga content. Fanon materials aren't allowed.

## User Equality

Equality on a wiki is the idea that all users are equal despite any special circumstances. While the Lazy Dungeon Master Wiki recognizes and accepts the fact that certain individuals do have special needs, are of younger and differing ages, and vary in the quality of writing skills, these individuals cannot and will not be considered exempt from the standards of conduct and the policies that all members of this wiki are required to abide by. To that end, no physical or mental condition, age, or difference in writing skills will be considered cause to suspend the enforcement of any policy or guideline.

## Editing and Page Creation

1. Check Category:Article stubs for current pages that need work done on them
2. If adding a new page: check if the page already exists on Special:AllPages
3. Every page/article must be created while using a Guide. You can check these Guides through the 'category' command or you can find these on the navbar under "Guidelines and Policies"

## Sources and Referencing

When adding **story elements** to the wiki, use **only** the Light Novel, Manga, or Web Novel. **Story elements** different from the Light Novel must be noted as coming from the Web Novel or Manga. This is due to a massive divergence of events in the Web Novel, Light Novel, and possibly the Manga. The Light Novel is considered the final iteration of *Lazy Dungeon Master*. Questions? Contact an Administrator.

1. References on pages are made using the `**<ref>Text Here</ref>**` Tag in the Source Editor

## Spoilers

* Second offense: 1-week block
* Third offense: 1-month block
* Fourth offense: Permanent block
