Wiki Rules

**Note that if you, or your generated content, break these rules, you will be banned from the wiki and your content will be removed. How long your ban lasts is in direct accordance with which rules you broke, and how severe it was.**

 **These rules are applicable across all of the wiki unless stated otherwise**

## General

* Spamming is not allowed
* Chains are allowed, but one or two replies per user are allowed in a space of a few days
* Make edit names descriptive, but they don't have to be formal. I like to put emoticons in mine <|:]
* No slurs or discrimination
* Do not disrespect other people's culture or religion. The only culture we should be mocking is consumer culture
* Please tag content which needs CWs or TWs using the <big> tag. Helpful resources are this website and this pdf. If you cannot access external sites, the list of CWs+TWs is also on the Content Warnings page
* Jokes about sex, innuendos, and content suggesting sexual actions, is allowed **as long as the content does not display sex or have graphic intent.** This means it describes/shows the process, or any other actions that proceed/come after sex. *This does not refer to discussions about sexuality, or serious issues related to sexuality*
* If you desperately need a page made/edited, please post it on the owner's page, or immediate help
* love yourself <3

## Communication

* No denial of historical events
* Do not harass people, especially for something they can't control, such as being transgender or neurodivergent
* You can use strong and aggressive language **as long as it is used wisely**.
* Respect other people's wishes on their blog posts and user pages
* Don't demand others to stop something if they're on a public page, explain your concerns. If it's something that breaks a rule, report it to one of the admins on this list. *These are **not** reasons to report: swearing, adult jokes, dark jokes, sharing social media; or talking about mature topics in a way that is mature, and respects all sides of the issue, even if it focuses mainly on a few points of view.*
* Discriminative jokes/comments, such as the joke *"I identify as an attack helicopter"*, will not be tolerated. This will lead to a week-long ban. It's 2023.
* **Admins, sysop, and other high-ranking individuals:** We are all equal in every scheme of things. Do not misuse your titles. They don't make you some lord or baron, they mean you are well-respected, and trusted, enough to be given those permissions. If you pull some bullshit on me I will remove your permissions, no questions asked.

## Pages

(*The following rules are applicable across all of the wiki*)

* Vandalising is not allowed
* Do not plagiarize other people's work
* You must list who owns the page under the title, e.g. *by (USERNAME)*
* If you share ownership of a project with someone else, put them next to your username, even if they are not on Fandom
* Do not copy a page's source code and make a duplicate if it's locked. Duplicate pages will automatically be candidates for deletion, and may be deleted in an hour, minimum. If you think a page is unfairly locked, you may appeal it in the Help (?) blog category. You can also curate a new page on your own user blog.
* If you do curate pages on your user blog, please don't link your page to main wiki pages, as it makes it harder for users to navigate, link, and tell the difference between your page and the main page.
* It's recommended to save your pages' source codes on an external app, like a word processor. This is in case of vandalism or unjust deletion
* Abandoned pages will be locked after thirty weeks of inactivity

(*The next rules are not applicable on Shitpost pages or WIPs*)

* Please label headers accordingly
* No misinformation on factual articles

## Blog

* Make sure your blog post is in the right category. Even though the guidelines say so, we will not delete off-topic conversations immediately; we will give you a week after the notice to move your discussion elsewhere, because we know you may have a life outside of wiki editing
* Be respectful of others
* Do not shitpost in any category other than **The Silly Channel :3**
* Any BS will be removed immediately
* If you haven't already, read this article that explains the categories and this blog post that lists the categories.

## Fanon

* Be respectful of other people's fanons unless they break any other rule
* Ships cannot be abusive, lgbtqphobic (e.g. you hc a trans woman as a man and ship them with a straight woman), philic, or otherwise morally wrong (such as teacher x student). Ships of this nature will be removed immediately, and anyone who has contributed to these pages positively will get a six-month ban. The curator will get a two-year ban for morally wrong ships, and a lifetime ban for the others.
 *If you know a ship that is harmful and has been/may be added, please add it to the Banned Ships page under it's fandom header, with the reason of why it is bad*
* Sm\*t is not allowed. There are lots of other places for this.

## Fiction

(These rules do not apply to Satire fiction or fanfiction)

* This is more of a request than a rule, but please try to use proper SPAG in original fiction
* General categories will be added even if the 'editable' Page Code is present.
* Use Sub-header (1) or (2), or == / === in the source editor, for chapter headers

# Page Codes

*Page codes are added in certain places to indicate the properties of an article, and to signal to others about what to do and not do with the page.*

* editable - Near the curator's name - This fiction/fanfic/non-fiction can be edited by any user
* Dead Fic - At the top of the page as a Sub-Header (1) - This fic is not going to be updated anymore
* NC - Near the top of the page, bolded - The material in this fic is no longer considered part of the fanon, or this headcanon/fanon character/theory has been disproven by the canon (short for 'not canon')
* banned - Near any banned curator/collaborator's name - This user has been banned, either temp or permanently, from the wiki

# Q&A

*With the (hopefully much-applauded) wiki owner, SpinningInTheFrequencies!*

### What is the threshold for becoming an admin?

There is no real threshold for becoming an admin, only things I take into consideration. If you have over 500 edits, and/or 300 replies/posts, you can put your name forward on the Admin Request post.

### Can you get (x) extension?

I will only install extensions if there is a general need for one. This can be as simple as doing a Poll for the extension and getting majority votes from the majority of users.

### Can I change the Infobox templates?

If the infobox is yours, or one of your collaborators', then yes. Ones used in general across the site, like User\_infobox, are usually Locked. If you want a label/header/CSS style to be considered, message an administrator. There is also a list of the current CSS styles; note that some may be used especially by some groups that would be disrespectful to use unless you ask.

### How do I appeal a locked Page, or have my page locked?

Note that if your page is locked, it was either vandalised while you were gone, or the page didn't recieve any major/curator/collaborator edits for more than thirty weeks. Check the reason of the Lock before appealing.

You can put your locking appeals/requests on my message wall.

### I have found a page with content that breaks the site rules. Where can I send it?

If you find a page that breaks the rules, please scrnsht it using Web Capture, or record it, and send the evidence with the page's link to an administrator, or my message wall.
