Wiki Rules

Please note that rule punishments can and may vary based on the severity of the issue and past violations done by the user in question.

For the editing regulations, refer to the manual of style.

General Rules

In accordance to Fandom's Terms of Use, users under the age of 13 (16 in California or the EEA, not including the UK) are not allowed to be editors on the wiki.
- If a user is revealed to be underage, please calmly report it with evidence to an administrator; do not attempt to publicly out them as that is embarrassing for the user and you can be punished for such behavior.
Be civil; do not argue, insult, threaten, harass, purposefully offend or disrespect users or their opinions.
- You are allowed to politely talk about differing opinions as long as you do not fight over it.
- If someone is insulting you, do not insult them back. If someone is making you mad, walk away; you are not obligated to continue the conversation if you do not wish to.
  - If someone is continuously harassing you, please report it to a member of the staff.
Do not share porn, take that elsewhere.
- You are, however, allowed to share/link to non-pornographic fan-fiction or theories on your message wall or user page.
Do not condone or engage in any kind of hate speech, slurs, or any other form of discrimination. Failure to do so will result in a permanent ban.
Do not condone or engage in any kind of spamming, trolling, or vandalism.
Do not impersonate or fabricate false information about other users.
Do not advertise with the intent of users paying for or signing up for said content.
Do not make multiple/sockpuppet accounts.
- If you wish to make a new account and abandon your old one, tell an admin before you abandon your old account.
- If you get locked out of your account and make a new one, contact an admin explaining the situation immediately after making your new account.
Do not add speculative or non-canon material to articles.
