Rules and Regulations

The **Blood of Zeus Wiki** has several guidelines to try and ensure maximum quality of its content, but this is to be a fun and collaborative space so all good intentioned contributors have the opportunity to contribute.

There are just a few things I ask that everyone keep in mind when editing content and contributing to this community:

* **Keep it civil:** Do not make personal attacks on other people. If you need to criticize another user’s argument, do so without attacking them as a person. Do not use bigoted language, including slurs which degrade another person or group of people based on gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc. Bullying will not be tolerated under any circumstances - we can have discussions with each other and its best to come to a fair conclusion in a disagreement.
* **Be a productive member of the wiki:** Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Ask an administrator! Disrupting the wiki with “edit warring” over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not productive.
	+ **Applicable Information:** Do not add information based on Greek mythology alone. This series is **BASED** on Greek myths, but this doesn't dictate that every thing in popular mythology was incorporated into its context. For example, we know Apollo is the "bastard" son of Zeus, but his mother's identity has not been revealed by any means in the show; at most, any Greek mythos on the subject can be included in the *Trivia* section of his character page. For information to be included, it must be stated within the series or indicated by the show's creator or a legitimate affiliate.
	+ **Unused/Poor Images:** If you don't put an image on a page within a twenty-four-hour period, it'll be deleted. If you aren't going to put an image on a page, *don't upload it*. We want our unused images section to remain clean and empty and help adding images that are there right now will be greatly appreciated and rewarded. DO NOTadd images without proper names and references to the episode from which it came. “Image4” or “Screenshot(334)” are not acceptable names.
* **Do not engage in excessive self-promotion:** The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. It is NOT a free place to advertise your related website, YouTube channel, blog, social media account, etc. Have a question about whether your link would be welcome? Ask an administrator!
* **Do not harass other users:** If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes. It is their wall.
* **Personal Information:** Asking for personal information, such as your age, your address, your password or phone number isn't allowed. If you see someone doing that, please report it right away.

* **Underage Users:** Users aren't allowed to be on Wiki that are under the age of thirteen. Keep it private if you are thirteen or younger, but if the admins find out you are under thirteen, you'll be globally blocked.

* **Sockpuppeting:** Making several accounts and trying to dodge bans by doing that is against Wiki policy. There's no warnings. If you made one, please deactivate it or not tell anyone.

* **Do follow community guidelines for formatting:** When a community has established formatting, it’s important to adhere to that, especially when spoiler content is involved. Given the fact this series has been over for several years now, I do not expect this to be a particular issue, but as always contact an Admin if your unsure as to if you're remaining true to this wiki's format. The following are a few format styles I do ask you keep in mind for this wiki:
	+ Moving pages to nonsensical, counterproductive, and/or unrelated names without approval of an administrator will be reverted.
	+ New pages, with nonsense, unrelated content and spam will be deleted.
	+ When adding new content, *character* or *item* pages must have a minimum of 250 — 500 words of relevant information (not including infobox material) for it to qualify as a legitimate page, otherwise all such characters or information are to be added to the appropriate "list" pages.
	+ Please try to avoid spam editing. Visiting users please pay attention and keep track of how many edits you do on a single page a day. I would prefer you to try and limit yourselfs to **3 - 5 edits** on a single page in one day.
	+ Try to avoid the over adding of broken links.
	+ Gender categories, such as males and females will be deleted from the site and all edits will be reverted. Same goes for major, minor, secondary and one-time characters. Irrelevant and unrelated categories are also not allowed.
	+ If you remove a lot of content on a page with no reasoning to it or remove all the content from a page, your edit will be reverted.
	+ Editing userpages that aren't yours isn't allowed, unless you are an admin or have explicit permission from the user - an admin must be able to verify this.
	+ No fanfictions are allowed on this Wiki, including blogs or on chats and article comments.
	+ Nonsensical blog posts, featuring spam and nonsense will be deleted.
	+ Any inappropriate or sexually suggestive language will be removed from the Wiki and treated harshly. This goes for images too.
	+ Please keep it civil and respectable in the chat areas of the wiki as well. No overuse of vulgar, sexual, or inappropriate language of any kind will be tolerated.
	+ Do not remove warnings on your userpage or message walls by admins.
