Content Guidelines

Here you will find everything you need to know about our expectations for content on the *Yu-Gi-Oh! Revolution Fanon Wiki*. Also, bear in mind a lot of our stylistic inspiration comes from our mother Wiki, the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki.

## Property Tags

* When creating an article, simply place the property tag on it at the very top of the article. To do this, simply encode 'property|Your Username' within two pairs of brackets.
	+ The above is to prevent theft of content and content ownership disputes.
* If an article, such as a role-play between two or more users, has multiple editors, each editor may add their property tag.

## Writing Style

* All articles must be written in English.
* Articles for living characters must be written in present tense. For deceased characters, this would switch to past tense. There is no future tense allowed for articles.
* Please do your best to ensure any translations to foreign languages are accurate. The staff is more than happy to help you in this endeavor and assist you in finding translation resources.
* All writing should be done without breaking the fourth wall.
* Capitalize article titles properly, please.
* When naming characters, please try to give them a name that reflects their cultural origins. For example, it does not make sense to give a character of Japanese descent an English name.

## Godmodding

* For the purposes of our site, we define godmodding as a character or card being simply perfect and unbeatable, or as a role-player directing their character in a way that infringes on the other role-player's ability to respond (i.e. autohitting, knowing information they cannot plausibly know, etc.).
	+ Avoiding this is easy. Simply recognize that characters and cards both need limitations and respect your fellow role-players. Godmodding is extremely frowned upon and will be dealt with swiftly and firmly.

## Custom Cards

* All custom cards must be created with our earlier mentioned card templates. Cards must not only be appropriate (i.e. no vulgar references) but must also make sense within the context of the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe and follow the style and general wording of legitimate canon cards.
* No custom cards outside of custom cards approved and bought in the Custom Card Shop may be created. They will be deleted without question or notification if they are spotted.
* The staff reserves the right to reject the submission of any custom cards in the shop for reasons up to and including, but not limited to: style/grammatical/spelling errors, godmodding, too closely resembling another user's custom card, etc.
