## Editing Policies

Most Wiki users correcting the grammar and spelling in this Wikia to make the readers understand more. but that doesn't mean that you're free from the rules. the admins and founders don't want this wiki as a breeding ground for rule-free users who do article grief.

So here are the rules for editing:

* you can add more features to this wiki like adding the color title to the Infoboxes, etc. as long as the Founder or Bureaucrats liked it or allowed it.
* you can do some minor editing in order to get access to the wiki chat.
* don't worry about the mistakes that you edit on the certain page. but make sure that you either fix it or the Mixelcraft wiki staffs will undo your edit.
* if you spotted some typical errors like wrong spelling and grammar. be sure to fix those up in order the readers will understand more about the article and pages.
* , take the edits seriously. don't make this wiki into a breeding ground of crazy editors.
* this wiki allows you to do some major editing. as long as the article is pretty the same as before. do not make the article having a different topic from the Mixelcraft mod.
* don't vandalize or grief the page as this might ban you from the wiki.

### Warnings of breaking the Editing Rules

* if you breaking some minor rules like you making a pointless editing. your editing will be reverted to its previous content. but you won't get any warnings from making pointless edits unless you making a ton of pointless edits. and this leads you to a minor vandalism that you got a warning from the Moderator, Admin or even a Bureaucrats.
* got first and second warning means that you're nearly getting banned from this wiki. the Admins or Bureaucrats will ban the user once it reaches to third to the fifth warning. obviously because of breaking the rules.

	+ if you make a form less than 72 Hours. then your form will be immediately deleted.

##### Reasons why the Bureaucrat Denied your Form

Most users will be denied by the Admins or Bureaucrat simply because they're:

* Form has not enough Details and information.
* Excessively making Forms.
* Form By the Demoted MixelCraft Wiki Staff.

### "Ideas on Mixes And Murps" Board Policies

### Poll Voting Policies

* don't vote the one who ask you to vote it.
* be fair. most users always pick the one that makes them feel to choose it.
* don't vote if you using your secondary/spare account.

## Voting Policies

* most major voting will be happen sometimes if the Bureaucrat or Founder will highlight the poll so the wiki users will vote fairly.
* if the voting is just for the other users' poll. that's just a minor voting unless its an important one that someone created it for the Founder.
* be sure that you vote Fairly.
* Some Voting System is set into a comment vote than a poll vote. if you don't know what is "Comment Voting System" it means that you vote using your comments the reasons are optional.
* if you are going to do the Comment Voting be sure to :
	+ have at least 5 Edits in this wiki. unlike from Mixels wiki that require at least like 50 Edits. this Wiki will have to make easier to most of the MixelCraft Wiki Contributors to vote by not editing that much in this wiki. but that doesn't mean that you should stop editing if you got 5 Edits in your account in this wiki. since this is a low-developed wiki and not much users go to this wiki. the Founder will go easy with 5 Edits to everyone including its staffs (Except for Admins and Bureaucrats). when this Wiki got enough users and staffs. the required Edits will be increased by 5s so the users won't be stuck to only 5 edits. That Doesn't Worked that way :P

## Staff Policies

this is mostly for staffs who are ever promoted or newly promoted by the Bureaucrat or Founder. but that doesn't mean that you're rule-free as well. this is just an exception only for Bureaucrat and the Founder simply because they're the ones who obviously made this wiki. but if you got a high position like Admins,etc. the staffs will be less likely to follow most of these rules here. but even the Admins and Moderators will still need to follow these rules unless they have their position in the rules as thats an exception.

### Rollback Policies

What Rollback is. is that they are the ones who got newly promoted and the Founder use this only for their trainee purposes but if they are ready to be a moderator. then they will be promoted for certain amount of days.

* Rollbacks have a color #7DFA00 (Lime Green) Name in their Feedback Activity and their profile.
* Rollbacks mostly undo all the pointless edits.
* inactive Rollbacks will be most likely to get demoted if they are not active at least for a week or longer.
* there are no exceptions that they are demoted unless they have a valid reason why they are inactive.

### Moderator Policies

What Moderators is. is that they are the ones who are promoted after trainee/rollback. most moderators' purpose is to monitor the performance of the other users' chat and edits. and rarely the Founder will be picking one or two moderators to be an Admin for their performance in this wiki.

* Moderators have Chat Mod Access, Discussion Mod Access And Content Mod Access.
* Moderators have a color #7D00FA (Purple) Name in their Feedback Activity and their profile.
* Moderators in chat most likely to give a warning to users who break a minor rule. in the other hand. if the user break multiple or major rules. then they will either get a strict warning or banned.
* Moderators should be not that strict. we want this wiki to be friendly as possible. not a wiki of anger and chaos.
* Moderators will be most likely to get demoted if they are breaking multiple major rules or/and not being active for few weeks.

### Administrator Policies

What Admin is. is that they are the ones who are promoted after having a moderator position. but unlike moderators. Admins are slightly more strict to the users if they broke the rules. this position is very hard to get said by the founder. this can get if they are moderators who have a lot of effort and good edits to this wiki.

* Admins can demote Moderators for a valid reason.
* Admins can Highlight the Threads if they wanted to.
* Admins have Admin Access to protected Articles and Pages.
* Admins should also not be that strict. but unlike from moderators. they will be slightly more strict than moderators.

## Achievement Policies

* Achievements are only used to award the users and edits to have enough edits in this wiki. but that doesn't mean that you will do all the pointless edits to get all the achivements to get into the leaderboard. because that counts as Vandalizing.
* do not Badge Farming. this is most likely to other medium to large wiki communities that has achievements enabled. if someone is doing the badge farming it needs to stop and be sure that you will provide proof for it.

## Sponsorship

* This wiki needs Mixels or Minecraft fans out there who will join to this community.
* were doing the ads in the Founder's Channel to promote this wiki.
* we also sometimes ask other founders in their wiki to get sponsorship to promote this wiki.

## Legal Notice

This Wiki doesn't have any pictures from the other websites and other wikis. the pictures are originated from the Founder's Computer and he uploaded the images for this wiki. were allowing anyone to have this picture as long they admitted that it came from this wiki and from the Founder itself.

## Warning Comparison

Most To All Warnings Here Are Equal. but there are 3 Types of Warnings. The Fixed Warning, Normal one and the Strict or Strike Warning. Fixed Warning is nothing to be worry about... its just a warning that to tell you that you might not doing well or benefited to this wiki with your activity. The Normal Warning is just a warning that is for the user that causes this wiki some minor issues. While the Strike or Strict Warning is a Warning that is for the user that causes this wiki some major problems.

to put this in perspective this is a comparison of different types of warnings:

 5-10 Normal Warnings
 Infinite Fixed Warnings

NOTE: Fixed Warning is accessed by all users because this type of warning will not result in a user ban or blocked to this wiki even he/she got a lot of fixed warnings. However... Normal and Strike warnings is just for the Admins And Bureaucrats. Moderators And Rollbacks will be Mostly likely to give users a Normal Warning or Strict Warning as well but they cannot ban or Block the user out so instead. they will report it to an Admin or a Bureaucrat.

## Conclusion

you will be a great wiki user in this wiki if you follow all of these rules :)
