Dreamworld Entertainment Wiki/Guidelines

This is a page intended to guide any users who wish to interact with the wiki, whether as an active and dedicated editor of the wiki's pages or simply as a member of the community through our discussion space.

Please keep these rules in mind! The Dreamworld Entertainment wiki would like to foster a welcoming and inclusive space for its users, as well as a comprehensive and unbiased source of information about the *Welcome to Dreamworld* series.

If you find anything that violates the listed guidelines, feel free to alert a member of the Dreamworld Entertainment wiki staff. **The consequences of violating the guidelines are up to the discretion of staff.**

## Wiki Content Guidelines

* All content added to the informational sections of the wiki must be unbiased.
* Vandalism of wiki pages is prohibited.
* Speculation may not be added to episode or character wiki pages. Please save speculation and theories for page comments or the discussion boards.
* Respect the privacy of the *Welcome to Dreamworld* cast and crew.
* Information exclusive to Rainbott's patreon, such as storyboards or answers to patron questions, are not to be added to the wiki unless Rainbott makes that information public or otherwise grants permission.
* When editing a wiki page, please provide a note or summary of your changes before saving your work.

### Style guide

* Episode pages must utilize an episode infobox with the season and episode number, air (upload) date, links to the pages of the preceding and following episode, and the Youtube upload thumbnail being the infobox image.
* Episode pages must link to the Youtube upload of the episode, provide a sufficient summary of the episode's contents, relay the artist and voice actor credits, and provide a comprehensive gallery for the episode.
* Character pages must include a representative quote if possible, a filled (where applicable) infobox, a gallery, and comprehensive information about the character's physical appearance, personality, and history.

## File Guidelines

* When uploading an image to the wiki, please keep in line with the wiki's file naming policies.
	+ **Episode Screenshots** must be prefixed with "Ep#", with the rest of the file name referring to the screenshot's contents. The thumbnail for "Episode 6", for example, is labeled "Ep6thumb.jpg".
	+ **Shorts Screenshots** must be prefixed with a key word from the title, with the rest of the file name referring to the screenshot's contents. A screenshot of a hammer from "Dreamworld Entertainment Broadcast Interference," for example, is labeled "Broadcasthammer.png".
	+ **Character Page Images** that are *not* already part of a previous file type (i.e. episode screenshot) must be prefixed with the character's (first) name. The portrait image for Lewis Bright, for example, is labeled "Lewisportrait.png".
* Images must be uploaded as either PNG, JPG, or GIF types. PNG files are preferred and encouraged.
* All images uploaded to the wiki must be official series images (episode screenshots, official character references, official concept artwork). Fan art is prohibited, *including fanart produced outside of the series by Welcome to Dreamworld artists.*
	+ An individual user who wishes to upload fan art or fanwork of any type is encouraged to instead visit the wiki's discussion boards and post their work there.
* All images must be of sufficient quality, unedited (with exceptions for resizing and occasional transparency), and related to the wiki's contents.
	+ The removal of images is up to the discretion of staff.

## User Guidelines

* Be civil. No harassment, trolling, or bigotry is permitted.
* Do not spam.
* Do not share or expose personal information about yourself or others.
* Do not target or say negative things about other individuals.
* Do not display graphic NSFW content on your profile or through blogs or discussion posts.
* Do not pose as wiki staff, i.e. pretending to be a content moderator.
* Do not edit other users' profiles without their approval.
	+ If another user's profile displays content that violates wiki guidelines, contact a member of staff rather than remove it yourself.
