## Guidelines

### Speculation

* It is considered speculation when the theory is not yet fully proven

* For some users, leave the page to avoid speculation,

* + To know how, there is a warning

## Editing Rules and Guidelines(WIP)

* Do not randomly color words or names on the articles, as it is unnecessary.

* Do not make spam pages or unneeded articles, such as for items on the Catalog unless an admin expresses consent to do so.

* Do not insert obscene language into articles, unless it is directly from a quote in the game.

* Remain objective - use "the player," not "you." since it's redundant, its also considered as a poor edit.

* + Except if it is a dialogue.

* Do your best to keep any abbreviations that may be used consistent.

* + For example, we abbreviate *Five Nights at Freddy's* as *FNaF*. Simply follow suit!

* **Check spelling and grammar** before finalizing an edit.

* Do not attempt to slip your own theories into a wiki page.

* + This also goes for indirectly trying to disprove theories. Keep your opinions to yourself.

## Uploading Files

* Do not upload anything that is not going to be used in an article.

* + This includes fan art and other similar works.

* + If you want to post such things, upload your image to Imgur, Photobucket, or other similar websites, first, then paste the direct image link into where you want the image to show up.

* + - If you need help with this, follow guide.

* **Do not upload duplicate files.**

* **Do not upload low-quality files.**

* + This includes screencaps of gameplay videos as in-game screenshots are much cleaner.
