Welcome to the wiki, you might want a head start, don’t you? Well, here you go!

# Rules

## Tracing art

We do not allow any form of tracing art, if you are found to have traced art, we will block you, unless it’s a former sketch that you have given a thicker line (with the permission of said creator) or a base you can colour.

As for said art, depending on if you have permission to trace, or have heavily traced another artist’s art, you will get a punishment small as a warning, to a permanent block.

### NFSW and Fetish Art

We do not allow NFSW, even if it’s a naked human not showing private parts, nor do we allow fetish art, both concepts are extremely inappropriate, even if this is a 13+ wiki, kids could view it, even without an account. Punishment equals from a temporary block to an infinite block, we want this wiki, safe, and clean.

### Body Horror

We do not allow this art unless you have given warnings (TWs), depending on how small, or heavy the gore is, we will allow it as long as it does not feature any kind of bones jutting through flesh. or any private parts.

### Animal Abuse-related art

If the abuse art is related to spreading awareness, and letting others help save animals from forms of animal abuse, it is okay as long as it does not feature any rule-breaking elements such as vore, hidden insults in art targeted at a certain person, group, religion or country, or heavy animal abuse being shown (eg. young roosters getting killed in detailed ways, such as rooster throats getting cut with veins jutting out).

### Art Fixing

we do not allow art fixing, with the bad reputation it has. Any form of fixing art will result in a warning, continuing to “fix” art will result in a block, and eventually a permanent block.

## Topics

### Religion

We do not allow any form of religion speaking, unless if it’s in message walls. If it is about any form of insulting religions, we cannot allow it. If you hate a religion, please keep it to yourself, there is always a few bad apples ready to ruin.

### Politics

With how much of a reputation the topic earns through some wikis, we, another wiki, do not allow this form of topic-speaking unless it is through message walls, if it talks about hating on a president , you will be given a warning, even if it’s a widely-hated president, we still do not allow this, and staff, do not protect widely-hated presidents because “they love them”. We are wanting you to speak on other platforms if you will speak so against hating presidents. Side note: DO NOT under any circumstances, discriminate other people because of their religion, race, gender, gender identity, or sexuality. If you have those opinions, keep them to yourself.

### Abuse

We only allow spreading awareness, as long as the awareness itself doesn’t encourage others to kill or harm their pets or any animal. This wiki itself is about Creatures Of Sonaria, we do not affiliate with the developers in any way, nor do we support, or hate them, it severely depends on any page you make, depending if it has any form of rule-breaking elements.

## Behaviour Elements

### Creativity

Be creative and do not trace other’s art, unless it is a model, or a base. Do not turn traced art or bases into fan concepts, as they do not serve as forms of creativity, which is what the wiki wants to share, as we allow a safe place for Sonaria’s artists.

### Kindness

Be kind to everyone, as they will serve kindness and good luck back to you, Being rude returns the same elements, hatred and bad karma, If anyone is not following the rules and being rude or adding inappropriate elements to pages, blog posts, or discussion posts, please INFORM the moderators! Do not fight, this is not a battling arena.

### Happiness

Be goofy if you want, as long as your jokes are not inappropriate, Be happy if you want, as long as you aren’t going crazy enough, if you are feeling suicidal, please go to Suicide Prevention Resources, call 911, or contact a friend, trusted adult, or guardian, This wiki is open for rants and vents, But know not everyone may know how to help you, while If your dealing with depression, try to hangout with others, but do not directly pretend to be depressed for attention or fame.

## Attention-Seeking

### Diseases

Do not saying you have cancer and want free gifts, nor impersonate a popular person, staff, or anyone that is known to have cancer or a disease, many diseases are deadly and sometimes even incurable , and shall not be messed with, nor should you fake having them, don’t state “I have [Disease]!” In almost every, or all posts you make, you will be given a warning if your caught to pretend you have a disease, deadly or not.

### Disability

Do not pretend to be disabled, it is seen as disrespectful to the eyes of many, don’t state you have a disability in most or all posts you make, instead, state it in your About, don’t harass anyone that thinks you don’t have the certain disability. Pretending to have a disability or even impersonating as someone who has a disability is not allowed, and will result in a warning if not block.

## Harassment

### Bullying

We don’t and never will tolerate this, Bullying is a form of harassment where you give unneeded hate speech and criticism to the victim, if even you hate this wiki, leave and move on, and don’t harass others for the sake of entertainment or having some laughs, you wouldn’t like anyone bullying you, and it hurts the other person who’s a victim of bullying, this will result in a warning.

### Criticism

Do not give anyone unneeded criticism to their concept page, alternate world, or art, unless they asked for it, If they did ask, please do not give WAYYYY too much criticism, it could hurt others or even yourself in the near future. If you make “Rating You!” posts, do not be rude unless you stated “Brutally honest” in the post’s description and title, but please do not be rude instantly, try to be light-hearted while your giving your honest criticism.

## Editing

## FAQ

Make sure to never give trolls attention, as that is the main reason why they’re intentionally saying racial slurs, inappropriate stuff, controversial things, vandalising pages with NFSW images, making edit wars, or simply: being annoying on purpose.

### What do I do if a troll harasses me?

Do NOT respond to them, ignore their messages and report them to a moderator.

### What do I do if a troll vandalises a page with NFSW images?

As some of our staff may be unable to handle NFSW, Make sure to fix it yourself, or ask someone who you know can handle images that are NFSW.

### What is a troll?

Not to be confused with the folklore creatures depicted as giants or dwarfs, a troll is someone who purposefully makes or does harmful edits, harasses others, or simply having bad behaviour, mainly for attention, or for fun, or the sake of it.
