Wiki Rules

The Warcross Wikia has its set of rules and guidelines for users to follow, in order to keep the wiki in a good shape and interactions between users. Disobeying the rules will result in discipline.

The Editing Guidelines do not necessarily count as rules, as they are meant as guidelines on how to properly edit an article. However, repeatedly disobeying the Editing Guidelines will lead to discipline, as they are disruptive.

All Fandom policies apply to all Fandom wikis, meaning all users must follow them.

		- Make sure the article looks appealing.
	+ **Formality Rules** (e.g., Proper capitalization, no use of first-person, limit the use of second-person, etc.)
* **Do not add unnecessary categories to pages.** It's strongly recommended to only add articles to existing categories!

- **Include links to pages when necessary.**
	* If there is a name, place, or thing that links to an article, link it.

- **Fix red links**.
	* Red links are links that are addressed are redirects but are redirected to a page that does not exist.

- Make sure that everything is grammatically correct and that spelling and punctuation are accurate.

* This Wiki should be in **American English** (-er, no 'u' in color, etc.).

* Make sure **all character names are in-book names** and are **properly capitalized**.
	+ Proper nouns are names, places, or groups.
* **The first occurrence of the page's subject must be bold.** All subsequent occurrences should be normal text.

* **The wiki should reflect the current state of the book.** Rumors should not be used or published on the wiki.
	+ **Unreleased content can be published ONLY IF** the information are confirmed one of the credible sources listed.
* **Do not edit the same page multiple times in a row.**

* Write correctly-spelled grammatical full sentences.
	+ Watch out for those homophones, subject-verb agreement issues, and compound adjectives.
* **Do not add pointless trivia.**
	+ Do not add points that are obvious.
* When writing dates, write out the month and the year at minimum and in the acceptable format.
	+ *Acceptable*: "November 2018"
	+ *Acceptable*: The whole date is preferred. If there is a day, write it as: "November 24, 2019", for example.
	+ *Incorrect*: "11-24-2019", "24-11-2019", "24 November 2019"
* **Add a summary to every edit made, truthfully.** It is courteous to let others know what you added, deleted, or edited.

**If you are not sure about how to fix something, notify a wiki administrator.**
