Please keep basic internet safety in mind while using our wiki. This means don't share personal identifying information such as your full name, location, etc. If someone is asking for personal information, report it to an admin or moderator.

Follow Fandom's Terms of Use (found here). These are the standard rules for using Fandom, and apply across all wikis. Click on policy to see this wiki's policy.

The Do's

  • Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Ask an administrator or fellow community member!
  • Be Bold: Go on, it's a wiki; update pages! Wikis thrives on user interaction.
  • Assume good faith: In other words, try to consider that the person on the other end of the discussion is a thinking, rational being who is trying to positively contribute to the project — unless, and only unless, you have firm, solid, and objective proof to the contrary. Merely disagreeing with you is not proof.
  • Be graceful: Be liberal in what you accept but conservative in what you do. Try to accommodate other people's quirks the best you can, but try to be as polite, solid, and straightforward as possible yourself.
  • Use the preview button: It helps prevent edit conflicts and mistakes.
    • Write decent edit summaries: Everyone appreciates explanations that are unambiguous. It's important for other editors to understand your process, and it's also helpful for you to know what you did after a long absence from an article. Please explain your change and the reason for it. This especially applies if you remove information or undo an edit.
      • Take it to a message wall or talk page: Fandom's guiding behavioral principle is respect for one another. Despite the fact that everybody realizes that their editing might be altered mercilessly, it is easier to accept changes if the purposes behind them are explained. In the event that you disagree with changes made, take it to the article's talk page or the other editor(s) message wall before an editing war is started.

The Do Not's

  • Personal Attacks: Do not make personal attacks on other people. If you need to criticize another user's argument, do so without attacking them as a person.
    • Bigoted Language: Do not use bigoted language, including slurs which degrade another person or group of people based on gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc.
  • Edit Warring: Disrupting the wiki with “edit warring” over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not productive.
  • Harassment: Do not harass other users. If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes. It is their space.
  • Do not hound, bait, or troll: Friendly debate and conversation can be useful tools in creating a resourceful wiki, but deliberately pushing others to the point of breaching civility is not allowed.
    • Do not feed the trolls: You can read more about not feeding trolls here.
  • Threatening: Do not threaten harm or spam/vandalism to other users and wikis. If you see anyone threatening another person or wiki, report to an administrator.
  • Cursing: Cursing at users or excessive cursing is not allowed.
