OddworldFanFiction Wiki:Rules

This a list of rules that apply this wiki. Administrators of this wiki should read these rules and adapt them as necessary.

Style of Writing

 * Articles should be written in UK English, not US English.

Community Rules

 * 1) Plagiarism: Do not plagiarise from any source. Doing so will result in being banned. Ban lengths are up to the admins' discretion.
 * 2) Vandalism/harassment: Do not vandalise other writers' stories or troll or berate them on talk pages, blog comments, or other places. Uploading a picture over another user's existing picture is also considered vandalism. Please rename your files accordingly. Users who are caught vandalising will be given one warning if the vandalism is not severe and will be immediately banned if the vandalism is serious. If the vandalism continues, that user will be banned for a period of time, based on the severity of their vandalism.
 * 3) Relevance: Pages must relate to Oddworld for the most part. Crossovers are acceptable, but only in moderation.
 * 4) Keep it civil: 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. Do not use bigoted language, including slurs which degrade another person or group of people based on gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc.
 * 5) Be a productive member of the wiki: Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Ask an administrator! Disrupting the wiki with “edit warring” over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not productive.
 * 6) Do not engage in excessive self-promotion: The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. It is NOT a free place to advertise your related website, YouTube channel, blog, social media account, etc. Have a question about whether your link would be welcome? Ask an administrator!
 * 7) Do not harass other users: If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes. It is their wall.
 * 8) Do follow community guidelines for formatting: When a community has established formatting, it’s important to adhere to that, especially when spoiler content is involved.
 * 9) Spamming: While Spamming is obviously frowned upon in general; there a few additional things for this wiki that count as spam. Those things are making comments calling an article "fake" or any alternative terms; this is a fan-fiction wiki and as such everything here is fake unless the devs of Oddworld Inhabitants decided to come along and make one of our fan games a reality. This comments should and will be deleted. Criticism is to be constructive and helpful if not it is considered spam and will be deleted. Complimenting a user's fan-fiction is NOT spam and is perfectly allowed. Insults are considered to be a personal attack will always be considered to be spam.

Policies

 * 1) No swearing of any kind that also includes in talk pages, userpages, main articles, and generally any other forms of communication. Such text will be removed and a warning will be issued.
 * 2) Replacing offensive languages with asterisks or alternative ways to spell a swear word or offensive language isn't acceptable and such text will be removed and a warning will be issued.

Reverting edits that have been altered due to violating this policy will be removed again and an additional warning will be issued. Continued edits with offensive or vulgar language will result in a small block.
