Wiki Help, Rules & Policies

## General rules

* 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.
* Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Ask an administrator or fellow community member!
* Disrupting the wiki with “edit warring” over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not productive.
* 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 or user talk page, respect their wishes. It is their space.
* Do not hound, bait, or troll: Friendly debate and conversation can be useful tools in creating a resourceful wiki, but deliberately pushing others to the point of breaching civility is not allowed.
* Do not threaten harm or spam/vandalism to other users and wikis. If you see anyone threatening another person or wiki, report to the administrator.

## Blocking rules

Users may be blocked on this wiki for the following reasons:

* Recurring vandalism or spamming
* Deliberately misgendering (i.e. using the wrong pronouns) and otherwise disrespecting people's stated facts about their person and identity.
* Recurring harassment, including hounding, personal or legal threats, posting of personal information, repeated messaging and ignoring their request to be left alone
* Continual edit warring
* Making a personal attack on another user
* Sockpuppetry
* Asking other users personal information such as age, location, etc.

Blocks will begin at 24 hours and will increase depending on the number of offenses and type of offense. If you feel you have been blocked unfairly, you can reach out to an administrator on their Community Central message wall.

## Page protection rules

The majority of pages on this wiki will remain unprotected to encourage all users to edit. Pages will only be protected if there is a specific need, such as:

* Vandalism has persisted over a long period of time
* Stopping an edit war
* Protect the proper display of the wiki (i.e. wiki logo, frequently used templates, the main page, policy pages, etc.)

Unacceptable reasons for protecting reasons can include:

* Disagreeing with an administrator or moderator; this is conflict of interest.
* Reserving the page to be edited later.
* Marking a page as done -- wiki pages are never done, as language can always be improved upon.

To request an article be protected or to have the protection level be reviewed, please contact an administrator or content moderator on their wall.
