Wiki Guidelines

Here on **LoverPedia**, there are rules upon creating a page for any article. Please read these rules before editing a page.

## Behavior

Both rude behavior and hate speech will **NOT** be tolerated under any circumstance. LoverPedia is both an informative and safe place for users and creators alike – and measures to prevent such a place **will result in a very lengthy block or banned indefinitely**.

*What is hate speech?* Hate speech is NOT stating that you dislike a user or critiquing their work or any other comment without a positive connotation – but is any speech or display that attacks, threatens, or insults a person or group.

Rude behavior is a much simpler topic – be kind to others while using LoverPedia. This includes limiting curse/mature words. People of all ages view YouTube, and LoverFella's, and as such, people of all ages are permitted to view LoverPedia. Comments considered creepy (such as saying "I know where this Person lives!" or "I have their Skype if you want it" are an invasion of a User's privacy and also should not be left on an article, or in the comments).

Depending on the comment considered "rude", **users will be given a warning from an admin to a ban**. This will up to the admin's discretion.

## Images

All images used on LoverPedia **must be named in a way that explains or describes the picture.**

For example, if the picture is of Zachary (LoverFella), rename it to be LoverFella.png. If that's taken, you can change the file format to a .jpg, or rename it to LoverFellaIRL.png, LoverFellaIcon.png, or something similar, as long as it's relevant.

This is to keep LoverPedia organized, as well as to avoid image duplicates, help with the creation of galleries, and making image searching significantly easier.

Additionally, please **do not upload duplicates** of the same image. This wastes space and clutters LoverPedia. If you have a higher quality version of an image, click on it to head to its image page and click "upload a new version of this file." This will keep the image title the same and replace all existing versions with your new image.

*Fanart* is also not acceptable on LoverPedia. Official logo images or real images are acceptable, but, in order to respect Creative Commons laws, LoverPedia will NOT allow fanart.

Refrain from uploading sexually explicit/pornographic images on the site. In case they are deemed too inappropriate, they will be deleted.

If a picture on LoverPedia does not follow these rules, they will be **deleted**. You will also receive a warning the first time it is noticed by an admin, and if it happens after that you will receive a 1 day ban from LoverPedia. Another day will be added if the rule proceeds to be broken each time after.

## Spam

If you are found adding spam, unwanted, or untrue statements on a user page (unless you have 100% proof to back it up), you **might** be given a warning or **possibly** blocked on the spot it depends on the situation. If you do get a warning and it happens again you will be blocked from LoverPedia. It will be up to the admin for how long you will be blocked.

## Blocked vs Banned

Being blocked and being banned are two different things.

* **If you are blocked**, that means that you can come back on LoverPedia after a certain amount of time.
* **If you are banned**, that means you are not allowed to edit on LoverPedia anymore and your username will receive a ban of infinite duration. If you have been blocked three times on LoverPedia, you will be banned. This rule does not include the spam rule.

## Usernames

If you are using the name of LoverFella in your username you will be blocked. It is only acceptable if the word "Fan" or something similar is at the end of the name (such as, "LoverFellaFan"), indicating you are not LoverFella.

## Blog Rules

LoverPedia Blogs are how the community interacts with each other. However, there are some rules to be followed, or you will end up with severe blocking or even bans.

* **No spamming**, spamming on blog posts are taken as a serious offense and it will not be tolerated. If you spam, you will receive a 1-week block and your blog post will be deleted. If repeated again, it will result in an indefinite ban.
* **No Hate speech**, hate speech is oftentimes very annoying and brings the worst in all users. If you are seen doing this action you will receive a 1-day block and if repeated again, a week block, further until you get banned.
* **Swearing** is allowed, unless used in a hostile way, such as harassment towards other users. Staff will not tolerate this and can give you an immediate ban.
* **No Harassing**, harassing other users is a serious offense. Users will be banned on the first sight of these messages (though message wall talking will still be enabled, so if you want to discuss the situation with an admin, do as you please).

## Privacy

Here on LoverPedia, we try to respect LoverFella's privacy. If anyone is caught adding his home address (regardless if it is real or fake) you will be banned.

## Videos

When adding a video to this Fandom, please remember; to describe the video at the bottom of the page. If it is seen that you are just adding videos without adding them in a organized fashion you will receive a warning, then if continued you will be blocked.

## Nudity/Sexual Explicit Content

Nudity or otherwise sexually explicit content **should not** be uploaded onto the site.

All images that are deemed 'inappropriate' will be deleted and the user will have a **very a length block if not banned**

This excludes: Men & women in traditional swimsuits (A shirtless man, or a woman in a swimsuit)

## Bots

At this current time, the only bot accounts that can be used on this wiki are ones that are official and have been marked by Fandom staff as a bot account. In addition, the only people who can run official bot accounts are bureaucrats. Any user editing using the bot feature on there account will be given a warning at first, then blocked other times if used again. Using the bot feature on a non bot account makes it seem like you have more edits then you really do.

## Edit Warrant

An edit warrant is where 2 users undo each of their edits in one page due to a disagreement between each other. If you are in a situation where you are edit warring with someone, please message them on their message wall or the live chat. Explain your reasoning as to why your edit should be published with research to back-up your reasoning. If the edit warrant continues after discussing, please contact an Admin or Content Moderator. If you are the user with incorrect information, or your edits were not published, please do not harass or get frustrated with the people that were involved. This can result in getting blocked or banned if continued. You can also get blocked after continuing the edit warrant that was already concluded.

## Vandalism

Vandalism is a common problem inside FANDOM and, of course, on LoverPedia. If you are caught vandalizing a page on LoverPedia and depending on how strong your vandalism was, you will be blocked between 1 week or up to an indefinite ban. This can also result in getting blocked across FANDOM, meaning you cannot edit on any Wiki inside FANDOM.
