Editing Guide

Welcome to the Editing Guide, containing all the important rules that need to be followed when making an edit to an article. Please read all the rules thoroughly before making an edit on this wiki. These rules are important, and we expect all users to read them and follow through with them, so that we can have a fun and easy time learning about club on this wiki. If you don't comply with any of these rules, it will be very hard for the staff to keep track of all the pages that need to be fixed, and spend time fixing silly and unnecessary mistakes. That's why we would greatly appreciate it if you read the rules very carefully, and comply with them too.

**If you need** **help editing and don’t know what to do, please ask a staff member for help.**

## **Editing Rules**

● Only add information that is **relevant** and **appropriate**. Anything that fails to comply with the rules will be removed, and the person who wrote those things will be warned. If the user did something very extreme, they could be banned and it might even lead to subject with FANDOM.

● Do **not** add information that is **unnecessary**, **irrelevant**, or **nonsensical**. This includes advertisements, spam, false information, or outdated information. If you want to advertise something that is not related to a page, please do so on the Advertisements Board instead. If you any advertisements, spam, false information, or outdated information, you will get a warning from one of the staff members.

● Do **NOT** be racist, homophobic, sexist, or anything else that discriminates a group of people. If you are caught adding information that is potentially hurtful or not appropriate, you will be permanently banned.

● If you have created a page that doesn’t have an infobox or the infobox needs to be edited in any way, please add the page to the category "Pages That Need Infobox Edit", so that the staff know which pages need their infobox to be edited. If you have created a page that is lacking information and needs more information or just needs to be edited, please mark it as a stub by typing {{Stub}} at the top of the page, and adding the category "stubs" to the page. This makes it easier for the staff members to make sure that everything is in order. This also makes it easier for everyone so they know what pages are lacking information.

## **Types of Pages You Can Create**

● **Art Dumps -** If you would like to share your art in a place other than the Art Gallery, you can make your own art dump/personal art gallery! Just make sure that you art complies with the guidelines.

● **Art Lessons** - If you're going to host your own art lesson on the magmastudiosite, you can make a page informing everyone about what time, what link, etc.

**If you want to create a page that isn’t related to any of the above or if you're uncertain about creating a page, please ask a staff member for help, preferably a bureaucrat, admin, or content moderator.**

## **Types of Pages You Aren't Allowed to Create**

● **Hate Pages -** No matter what the other person did to you, making pages/blogs/anything else just to hate on someone is **prohibited**. If you are caught doing this, you will be temporarily blocked. Instead of harassing them, talk it out with the other person.

● **Chat Pages** **-** If you want to chat with other users, please do not create pages for solely meant for chatting. If there are too many chat pages, things will get out of control. Pages are simply for providing information about things such as clubs, certain Kart Kingdom users, etc. There are also some pages for used for other purposes such as sharing artwork, showing people pictures of random stuff, etc. If you want to chat, you have a few options. You can message the person on their message wall, you can chat in the comment section of blog posts, you can chat in spam pages, you can create your own blog posts to chat with others, you can write a text in the Chat category, or you can join a club and chat there with members! Just please don’t create articles for chatting! This is only so that the wiki will stay organized and easy to navigate.

## **Category Rules**

● Do not add categories to media, your user profile, or user blogs that have been created on this wiki. The only category user blogs should have is the "Blog post" category, which is automatically added by default when a user blog is created. These features are used for sharing your thoughts or unimportant information, and categories are best suitable for content that is related to the topic of the wiki.

● Do not insert text into category pages. Category pages aren't pages that you're supposed to edit as an article, they're only there for categorizing pages. The only thing you should be doing is adding appropriate subcategories if needed. Please ask a staff member for help regarding which subcategories you should be adding, because subcategories vary depending on what the original category is.

● Do not add a subcategory that is the same as an original category.

● Categories are case sensitive, so you shouldn't be using two of the same categories, one in capital letters, and one in lower case letters in a page. For example, using both the categories "Users" and "users" is not needed. This is spam, and will result in a block.

● All categories should be plural. The word "plural" means multiple - or more than one. If you have a category that is singular, it means that you're only talking about one thing, and then there's literally no reason for that category to exist.

● Do not add categories/subcategories that aren’t relevant to the page. And don't add pages to categories that don’t even exist.

● Do not add or create any categories of your own. If you would like a new category to be created, contact a staff member about it.
