Rules and Guidelines

# Welcome, Future Wiki Contributor!

Users who do not abide by the **Rules and Guidelines** will be punished accordingly. Be sure to read these before creating any page or editing the wiki.

## Our Purpose

Our goal is to provide the most accurate and understandable information about the series Skytale. We wish to add any information that you may have missed in the episodes or discord server.

## What the Wiki isn't

* **Not a fan content site**: The Skytale wiki does not host fan fiction. If you want to write fan fiction and share it, please do so on the Official Discord.
* **Not complete**: Every wiki, including this one, is never complete. There are still incomplete pages, links that have not been created and articles in need of improvement. But coming to this wiki and not help with creating or editing articles is unacceptable. We expect every user to contribute to the wiki to the best of their ability.

## What the Wiki is

* A place for reliable information about the contents of Skytale.
* A place for meaningful discussion about Skytale. Low effort discussions, memes and shitposting is not welcome anywhere on the wiki. Join the Official Discord if you would like to meme.

## Editing Rules

* Registered users will receive a month ban for first offenses, depending upon the severity of the vandalism and the mods' decisions.
	+ Vandalism includes both the addition of inaccurate information and destructive deletion.
* Do not leave messages in the article.
* Do not include opinions in the article.
* No use of bots unless authorized by an admin.
* Do your best to use proper spelling and grammar when editing.
* If you are unsure if something should be added to the wiki, post it in the comments first or address it on the Skytale Discord, and let the Wiki team or community decide.
* One editor, one account. Creating one or more alternate accounts will result in an immediate, permanent ban on all accounts.
* If a user adds incorrect information, assume that they believe it is correct, and discuss it on their Message Wall to settle the matter. If you have information to prove the claim wrong, please present it.
	+ If there is a disagreement, you should use talk pages to explain yourself and give others opportunity to do the same. You must work together with the rest of the community to come to a agreement on the correct content for this wiki.
	+ Remember to be patient with newcomers. They may not know how to edit a wiki or what's supposed to be added as content.
	+ Suspected vandalism should be reported immediately to an Administrator who can work to prevent it from happening again.

## Discussions Rules

1. Not knowing the rules will not make you exempt from punishment.
2. Be nice and treat people with respect. Keep discussions civil. Harassment will be taken seriously.
3. Off-topic conversations will be deleted.
4. Impersonation of other users will not be tolerated.
5. Spamming, trolling, or vandalizing of any kind will lead to a ban.
6. Posts of "First!" and similar behavior will be removed.
7. Jokes, memes and otherwise unhelpful discussions are not welcome on the wiki.
8. No advertising of commissions, services or any social medias (youtube, twitch, twitter etc)
9. Piracy is not to be advocated or otherwise encouraged on this wiki. This includes links.
10. Fan art (including modified screenshots), OCs, roleplay and fan fictions are not allowed anywhere on the wiki. Use the Official Discord instead.
11. Users who repeatedly break these rules will be given a warning or may be banned.
12. Socio-polotical material is not allowed anywhere on the wiki.

# Editing Guidelines

## General "Rules" of Thumb

* **DO** ask before making new pages, most missing pages have already been made or are already planned by someone.

* **DO** ask questions if you need any help or advice or if you can't find anything.

* **DON'T** add new categories to pages. These are being handled by the admin/mod team.

* **DON'T** start working on something someone else already started. If you wish to assist, contact them with the information you have rather than editing over their current work.

## Formatting and Design

Please keep to the formatting that is already in on pages that are done.

If you have any questions, ideas or suggestions, please contact [MysticMitsuki] or [Deadshots] on the Wiki or on Discord: MysticMitsuki#9448 or Deadshots#0195.

## Terminology

Try to keep terminology and descriptions consistent throughout the wiki, using formal and impersonal language. **Avoid using "you," "we," and other second-person terms, and do not use slang. Avoid terms like "probably," "looks like," "clearly," "really," etc.**

## Spelling

* The Skytale Wiki uses American English. Please keep it that way. If you would like to translate the wiki to your native language, contact an administrator through Discord!

## Trivia

Anything about a specific subject that does not fit into any other section on a page is considered Trivia and should be put under the Trivia heading for that page. If no Trivia section is present, you may add it to the bottom of the page. Please refer to other pages that have trivia sections for its format.

* **DO** only add trivia if it is verifiable. If it is verifiable, then it should include a citation link to the source where it is mentioned.

### What is trivia

* Information about changes in game design while the developers were creating the game.
* Inspiration that the developers took from the real world, other games, or literature.

## Citation

Where applicable, include citations with links to sources such as interviews. To do so, after the entry that the reference supports, add <ref>with a shirt sentence or link</ref>, for example:
