Backrooms Rewritten: Everything Wiki:Rules

1. **The minimum age to be allowed on the wiki is 6-13 years old.** Any users discovered to be below this age will be blocked until they turn 6-13 in accordance with Fandom policy. The 7-13 years old is used in North and South america, northern part of Africa, South Africa, western part of Asia, Europe. When your country is not included, the minimum age for not included countries is 6.
2. **Blanking pages is considered vandalism and will be reverted and result in a block for the offender.** "Blanking" includes replacing page contents with gibberish or a message. That is not how wikis work.
3. **Harassment, slurs, and general disrespectful behavior are not tolerated.** It is expected to be generally courteous to all; any users found harassing others or calling people slurs will be banned. Harassment of other users is a violation of the Fandom Terms of Use.
4. **Using alt accounts as sockpuppets to evade a ban or rig a vote will result in a non-negotiable ban for all accounts involved.** Socks will be banned forever; if you rig a vote, all alts will blocked across all of Fandom.
5. **Edit-warring will not be tolerated.** You must have a valid reason for reverting someone else's edit. Discuss it on the talk page and work it out or both parties will get a temporary block.
6. **Editing pages to add nonsense is considered vandalism and may result in a block for the offender**. Please make constructive edits.

### Rules for Page Creation

1. **Pages must have effort.** Complete information, some elaboration, and decent page structure is required. If one is unable to meet one of these requirements, but the concept is good or effort is clearly still put in, these requirements will be filled by another editor. Pages that have no effort will be deleted. Proper grammar and punctuation should be attempted by the author. **Note:** Capitalizing every word of a sentence is not proper grammar (it just makes your page a total pain to fix), and never use "zalgo text" under any circumstances.
2. **Abandoning incomplete pages will lead to their deletion.** If a level is incomplete, it must have progress made at least every week, or else it will be considered abandoned, and it will be deleted. Exceptions to this rule are if someone is steadily working on a level, but cannot be active for a single week.
3. **All pages must fit into the Backrooms canon.** This means that if you are creating a page, it has to be able to either feasibly be something that can exist in the Backrooms and be taken seriously, or it has to be something that could exist on this wiki as a database. Joke levels have to pertain to this rule too, in order not to break immersion. Logs, information pertaining to this wiki, meta (if done right) content, and hypothetical/nonexistent levels are all examples of things that should exist on the database rather than the actual Backrooms themselves (Logs taking the form of physical objects, like journals, can be in both though).
4. **Characters, settings, or other content taken from franchises should be described vaguely enough that it isn't a dead giveaway that it is from the other franchise.** This is a very important rule. If the page is different enough, this is not required, but if it is still the same content, write credit in a "Meta note" at the top or bottom of the page.
5. **Multiple pages should not be created for one subject.** If there are things relating to your page that have a lot of information surrounding them, include them in the page itself rather than creating a new page to avoid clutter.
6. **No pages should conflict with each other.** Try to work around possible conflictions rather than ignoring them.
7. **Plagiarizing/copying pages and texts from other wikis or YouTubers' videos will lead to an immediate deletion and a possible temporary block.** Plagiarism is strictly banned. Unless you have received permission from the original author, do not copy a page onto this wiki. If you have gotten permission, credit them correctly and appropriately in the page and make sure you have real and complete evidence that you received permission.

### Discussion Rules

These are the rules for the Discussions section of the Backrooms Wiki.

1. **Only discussions and posts pertaining to the Backrooms Wiki are allowed in the General category.** Things such as roleplaying belong in the Roleplaying category.
2. **If it does not relate to the Backrooms, it belongs in Off-topic.** Things such as goodbyes, personal posts, etc. belong in Off-topic as they do not pertain to the Backrooms. However, spam and nonsensical posts that do not have any purpose or content to them will be deleted; please put effort into posts rather than simply posting a meme image.
3. **Harassment, slurs, and generally disrespectful behavior are not allowed; it is expected to be courteous to all.** Report any users harassing others to an admin or moderator and they will be blocked.
4. **Long-winded arguments and drama should be put to a stop as soon as possible.** It should be attempted to stop them as quickly as they begin to prevent larger issues from occurring, such as vandalism.
5. **Replies to posts should be related to the original topic of the post.** Replies that have nothing to do with the original post (such as random memes) are prohibited and may be deleted.
6. **Put effort into Roleplaying posts.** They must exceed a paragraph in length and use proper grammar; low-effort posts such as “I got into Level 0, where am I?” will be deleted.
7. **Maintain general maturity in posts.** Posts that have poor grammar and that lack maturity will be deleted.
