Policies of Yu-Gi-Oh! Couples Wikia

## Layout

**Titles/Headings**

Headings should have the first letter of every word capitalized, except for prepositions e.g. "of", "in".
**Sections**

When placing information of the series couples on the pages, place them all carefully in order. Ex. Sub-heading-1 - Yu-Gi-Oh!
Paragraph in bold letters - **The Wrath of Rebecca**
Paragraph in non-bold letters - Information.
Ex.
Sub-heading-1 -Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Paragraph in bold letters - **Bloom of the Black Rose** Paragraph in non-bold letters - Information.
Ex.
Sub-heading-1 - Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions Movie Pack: Gold Edition Paragraph in non-bold letters - Information.
All profile images of the pairings will be replaced with an anime/manga image instead. If there are none available, the image will be replaced with a 'no-image' content. If you have a suggestion to an image you want for one of the pairings, please feel free to open up a forum on the pairing's page and suggest what you want for the new profile image. If you are not comfortable with opening up a forum, please contact founder (Dejahnnaw) on either their talk page or send them a message to their tumblr account. Everyone is welcome to suggest ideas whether you are an active editor or just a contributor passing by.
* **Gallery** - Only screenshots, gifs, and official pictures.

**No emoticons**

No smileys or emoticons should be used on an article page. Unless it is a direct quotation from the media (e.g. a text message between two characters), or it is a commonly used emoticon within the work.

## Ships

### Canon and Fanon ships

This article accepts ships that are canonical (pairings that are deemed official, or have occurred in the series) or are fanon (a pairing that is not official, no romantic or sexual feelings have been shown towards each other). Underage ships are accepted, however the pages will be removed if an admin feels that the page is too inappropriate.
### Stubs

A ship page will no longer be considered a stub when there are at least three paragraphs. Paragraphs must be 5 sentences long.
### Skeleton

A ship page is considered a skeleton when there is no content on the page aside from a picture and some headings.
## Characters

### No appearance, personality or plot sections

This wiki is a shipping wiki, so it should only have information on a character's relationships or response in fandom. This means that sections such as personality, appearance, plot, powers and so on should not be added to the wiki. Each series/fandom/franchise has their own wiki for this information.

## Our Goal

The goal of this wiki is to inform fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise of the various pairings supported in the fandom, whether they are canon or not. We want to give as many facts about each pairing as possible as well as give reasons to why they're supported by the fans. Our new policy is to separate official and unofficial information inside the pages, that way the you won't have to worry about what's canon and what's not.

We'll do our best to be unbiased, but if you feel as though one page seems to look more favorably or unfavorably toward a pairing than is professional, feel free to send a message to one of the active Founder (Dejahnnaw) so the page can be re-evaluated. We all have pairings we like and dislike, but we want to be as fair as possible in our portrayal of them.

## Local Policies

The wiki have some rules and guidelines for users and editors with the objective to maintain the wiki a pacific and organized place. We recommend everyone to carefully read those before starting to contribute within the wiki.

## Rules

**No user attacks**

No personal threats, insults or attacks that could harm a user is allowed. Please be nice to each other and treat others on the wiki with respect. In any situation, this is grounds for a warning or block. As this is a shipping wiki, Ship Wars are most likely inevitable. However, if any span out of control, the forum post will be removed and the users involved will be asked to calm down.
**Sockpuppeting**
Users are allowed to have multiple accounts on wikia. However, on this wiki, if you are using your multiple account for disruptive reasons, to evade a block, to impersonate another user or to gain more votes for something, then this will be grounds for a block/warning.

**Vandalism**
Any vandalism including those posted below is considered unacceptable. Vandalism is defined as any *bad-faith* edit made with the intent to lower the quality of the wiki or disrupt the functioning of the community. (If the vandalism is accidental, then an admin will sort the issue out).
Moving/Changing the name of an article to an overly nonsensical or inappropriate title is grounds for a warning. An example of this is changing the name of an article from *"Replayshipping"* to the title of *"He's not worth it"*.
**Inappropriate account naming**
This includes creating/changing an account name to something inappropriate, or to impersonate/insult another user.
**Blanking articles**
Users who remove all the content of a page without a reason will be warned and asked why this occurred. If you disagree with an article's creation, or you want a page to be deleted--add the {{Delete}} template to the page. An admin will look over the page and decide if it needs to be deleted.

Thank you for reading and write canon information!
