## Content Policy

*(Credit to the Wings of Fire Fanon Wiki)*

1. All original content produced by users on the WOFF Wiki operate under the by-nc-nd license, unless otherwise stated by the owner. You cannot use or reproduce art, characters, etc. without the permission of the original creator and owner.
2. Do not create/edit templates or categories without permission from the moderators.
	1. Content categories, which organize the pages owned by a user, are an exception. They may be voluntarily created once a user owns at least five pages. These categories must follow the naming convention of

Category:Content (Full Username)

1. 1. If you have ideas for additional templates or categories, you may suggest them on the Suggestions Tab.
2. Obey copyright laws.
	1. Do not use content belonging to other users without their permission.
	2. Do not use or upload art (including photography) without the artist's permission.
		* You do not need permission for images used in your user avatar but you must credit the artist.
		* When using images from free sites, keep in mind that while credit may not be required, it is encouraged as photography is still a form of art.
	3. You must credit artists for the bases and artwork they've made unless they specifically say credit is not required.
3. Due to the target audience of this wiki (PG-13), certain topics are restricted or banned. Such topics are outlined below. These topics require warning in advance, which can be issued through the Mature Content template or with one's own custom warning.
	1. These topics are allowed with a mature warning:
		* Trauma
		* Self-harm (not too graphic)
		* Mild weak gore
	2. These topics are not allowed at all:
		* Any form of sexual content (smut, graphic, sex, etc.)
		* Graphic gore
		* Incest

### Batch Deletes

There is currently not a Batch Delete system until the wiki reaches 500 pages in total.

### Name Policy

Users may contact a moderator on their wall to claim old page names. After being messaged the moderator will make sure the following requirements have been met:

* The page itself hasn't been edited in the past 12 months (except for maintenance-related edits) and
* The owner of the page hasn’t made any edits or posts in the past 18 months

If they are met the moderator will move the existing page contents to a new location with the owner's name added in parenthesis after the character's name (e.g. "Dynamite" would be moved to "Dynamite (Prema Melody)") and let the user know that they may now recreate the original page with their own content.

Redirect pages may be claimed at any time, regardless of whether or not it meats the above requirements.

A notice, FANDOM has a glitch where already deleted &/or moved pages, when created, sometimes doesn't show up in the "Recent Activity" tab.

## Users

1. Behave in a civil and respectful manner.
	1. Do not provoke, insult, harass, threaten, or otherwise act with malicious intent towards another user.
	2. Be mindful of tone and phrasing to avoid miscommunication.
	3. Should a conflict escalate, step away and contact a moderator to help resolve the dispute. Do not try to handle the situation.
2. Avoid tampering with content that does not belong to you and you aren't permitted to edit.
	1. Users generally dislike unpermitted users editing their page, even if it's with positive intention like grammar etc. Staff and Correct Category adding and removing are an exception.
3. Avoid spamming content of any kind, including page edits, emojis, images, and advertisements.
	1. This includes actions made to farm badges: Badges are merely for fun and do not show how accomplished of a user one is.
4. Always ask before offering critique; and when doing so, strive to be specific and constructive. Please warn if you're going to be blunty, stern, etc. However, do not be aggressive and deconstructive.

### Trade and Request Etiquette

1. When initiating a trade, you should finish your half first.
2. If you cannot finish your half of a trade, let the other user know immediately.
3. Understand that users are not obligated to fulfill requests.
4. Follow User's ToC. In addition, User ToC must abide by wiki and FANDOM rules and terms.

## What Makes A Page?

1. A character as a official Nintendo Made Pokemon in the times of Kingdom of Pokemon, not to be confused with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
	1. All fan-factions that haven't won an officially hosted fan-faction contest should stay on blogs.
	2. All fan-islands should stay on blogs.
	3. Fan associations (groups like a small anarchy group that doesn't relate to a faction) doesn't have to be on a blog.
2. Pages that talk about a canon character or are just an unaltered canon character are *not* allowed as a page. In addition, any AU version of IRL people or characters that are close to IRL people aren't allowed.
