What is this?

Hello! You've reached this page either because you're incredibly confused, but interested, OR you are looking to contribute. Please, read this WHOLE article before contributing.

Migrate wiki is a meta-satirical, community-fueled, participatory content game. Based on the cancelled game Migrate, players participate in writing up the details of the fictional franchise, potentially influencing actual further releases.

This wiki is an overall parody of fandoms, game development, and media consumption.

## How do I contribute?

### Writing

Players are encouraged to create off the wall characters and locations, and work together to build convincing pages for non-existent games.

Certain properties canon to real releases will be marked as such (look for the [TODO: CANON MARK]). These are generally managed with stricter standards, with certain aspects more appropriate for editing than others (notably the "trivia" segments).

Please see the Content Policy.

### Art

The Anapse-branded ("official") properties use either or both of the following pixel-art palettes: [Migrate Classic, Journey], and the extant games are generally pixel art. However, sketches, 3d art, and vector art are all valid for projects and characters, we love them. Redesigns and re-imaginings of canon characters are absolutely permitted for "reboots", however remember that the original ownership of canon contents remains my own.

### Legal

Although this wiki is a parody and thus covered under fair use, it IS also attached to a real studio (Anapse Entertainment) and IP, so we want to avoid situations where it looks like we are claiming the rights to properties not my own. In general, well-cited and labelled outside links are great. Adding an inside page for an outside property is discouraged.

 Cite and label links to outside properties (E.G. Libra's arch nemesis is Jean Grey (Marvel))

### Producing

Want to make your own game/video/book/interpretive dance? Great! Contact myself, the users responsible for any content you wish to use (we can help). That's a level of dedication we're not really expecting, but definitely encouraging. We'll help out with any legal/distribution/concept work that needs to be done. Depending on the size of the project and what's appropriate, we'll try not to be intrusive.

 Make a mod, fanart, or... fanfic...? of the wiki content.

## Content Policy

Our content policy is "generally" rated E-T. Use your own judgement. The "canon" articles are a good guide for what you can get away with. Mirroring the fandoms we are parodying can mean different things to different people, but we want it to be appropriate to a wide audience. We're talking about cartoons here! In general, the following are NOT allowed:

* Sexually explicit content (nudity, sexual content, porn, smut, rape, or references to). If you've gotta do it, do it somewhere else.
* EXCESSIVE foul language. Hey, a little is fine. Certain words are absolutely not permissible. Again, use the "canon" articles as a guide.
* Abusive/harmful/triggering\*/trolling/flaming content.
* Racism, sexism.

 Work with other users to create ridiculous, fake games with convincing accolades to confuse outside viewers
 Practice stewardship in cleaning up existing articles for grammar, spelling, links, providing art, categories
 Create humorous, community-building content.

\*triggering can mean vastly differing things to different people. Some things generally appropriate to a vast majority of users (again, best judgement) shouldn't be a problem. We are empathetic of individuals suffering from traumas, and we will work with volunteers as necessary to make this sight more accessible to sensitive individuals. Some topics are NEVER OKAY. They are: rape, sexualizing a minor(we are NOT "MAP"-positive), graphic/excessive gore, racism/racial supremacy/genocide, clear and forceful political agendas. We have a zero-tolerance policy for these topics and, if necessary, an immediate and permanent ban will be dealt.

### What is an "Anapse"?

A synapse is a connection between neurons in the brain. An anapse is a made up word that would be the opposite, so a disconnection in the brain.
