How the Body Works Wiki/Rules and Guidelines

*You can only view the articles source code.*
*Reason(s): It’s the rules page*

This page is a list of rules you must follow in this wiki.

### General

* This is wiki uses American English, you must use American spelling in articles.
	+ To note: discussions and blog posts don’t matter.
* Be nice and treat people with respect. Keep discussions civil and be open-minded about differing opinions.

### Major Offenses

* This wiki revolves around a kids show, so we will recommend not to swear or curse.
* Do not vandalize pages as it will cause inconvenience to others and you will get **blocked.**
	+ This will also count if not intended, unless you revert the page immediately you will get blocked.
		- It is okay if you vandalize it without knowledge of you doing so; or a misunderstanding. You will fine be as long as it is a minor/small edit. You can possibly just get a warning.
* Do not spam as it will be very maddening for other users around the wiki. You will get a strike.
* Do not impersonate or sock-puppet from other accounts.
* Please do not add fanon content on pages, you are only allowed to add official/unfanon content.
	+ This does not count if it is on a discussion post.
* Do not add any scam links as it will be extremely frustrating for other users that are not sure about what the link is.
* Sexual content will most definitely be deleted as soon as possible as it will be inappropriate and discomforting to other users.
* Editing others userpage without any permission will be an invasion of privacy. Only a bureaucrat, administrator, or content moderator can edit one. Your userpage will not apply.
* Any content related to suicide on articles will get you banned.
* Daring someone to vandalize a page will get you banned, and the person you told if they had done the said task.
* Sharing personal information such as your face, or phone number is not allowed.

### Medium Offences

* Disrespect. Everybody knows that respecting everyone the same is common sense. If you try to maliciously make fun of somebody on this wiki, one of these two things can happen:
	+ You will be forgiven, and you must never make fun of anyone again.
	+ You will get a strike.

### Minor Offenses

* Advertising your other wikis. You are forcing others go get interested onto other subjects and will be removed.
* Making a template without permission of an admin. You must ask an admin/content moderator/bureaucrat. This is because admins and other promoted roles will have more knowledge if a template is necessary.

### How do I get promoted to admin/bureaucrat/content moderator?

Begging for admin or any other role will not do anything, the only way to get admin is to gain trust. You must do good tasks and we possibly might consider promoting you. Next is a following list of tasks we would recommend to get admin rights.

* Your account must be active for a minimum time of six months.
* Any user can recommend other users who they think believe can fit to be an admin, as long as a stated recommended user has not been blocked for vandalism previously before. Yet if the community is aware that someone were blocked in **misunderstandings** in the past then they can still be recommended for promotions such as Bureaucrat, Admin, and other roles such as Content Moderators.
* Report rule breaks.

### How do I be a good admin/bureaucrat/content moderator?

If you are promoted to a role, you can help the community a step more! Next is a following list of what you can do to be a good admin.

* You should be open to new users needing guidance, and users that need your advice or guidance.
* You should not act as if you are the owner the wiki if you have just been promoted, as all this means is that you are trusted to use some excess tools which are not accessible to the entirety of your community in order to improve the community as a whole.
* You should not protect a numerous amount of pages as you should encourage other users to edit. A page gets protected if there is vandalizers or high-traffic.
* You should not revert edits that are made in good faith without explaining why you undid them. Due to this you should first try and reword what someone has wrote, yet if you cannot do this then you can restore a prior revision of the page. If edits are incorrect or cannot be reworded nor revised and you decide to rollback a users edit, then you must clearly explain why you reverted the edit to the user who made the edit by dropping them a message on their message wall.
* You should respect other conversations with others and not shush them, as everyone within this community should all be encouraged and empowered to talk and engage, discussing on topic and that have relevance to the wiki.

### Protection Policy

* Any pages that are oftentimes vandalized will be shifted one up from the pages current protection state. For example: if the page is not protected, shift it up to auto confirmed, if it is auto confirmed, lastly shift it to promoted roles only.
* If a page has occurring edit wars, it will be protected temporarily until an agreement can be reached as to how a page in an edit war is occurring should be written is come towards by users involved in an edit war coming to a compromise as to how a page should be written. If an admin notices an edit war occurring due to someone incorrectly formatting or updating a page, then they can lock the page and explain to the person who was wrongly formatting or updating a page as to how they should have done their edits.
* If a page is important, such as this Rules Page and the Main Page, it will be protected for possible vandalism from other users.
