Shipping Wiki:Policy

HELLO!

Welcome to the wiki! As with many things in life, there are rules that need to be followed. The rules are listed below, kindly follow them. If you are unsure of anything, contact an admin. Thank You!

— see this guide for our rules on layout — NOTE! A few policies apply across FANDOM. These can be found on the Central Wikia



Wiki
Ship Hate
 * Any and all ship hate will result in an immediate block on the wiki. No discussions. It is not fun to have people hating on the page of a ship you enjoy or removing content and replacing it with insults. Depending on the level of ship hate will be the amount of time a user is banned for.

Must be over 13
 * All users must be over 13, anyone under 13 will be blocked from the site. This rule is the same across the FANDOM network, and is not just our rules, but also the law. Read this for more information.

No user attacks
 * No personal threats, insults or attacks that could harm a user is allowed. Please be nice to each other and treat others on the wiki with respect. In any situation, this is grounds for a warning or block. As this is a shipping wiki, Ship Wars are most likely inevitable. However, if any span out of control, the forum post will be removed and the users involved will be asked to calm down.

Discrimination
 * As this is a shipping wiki, many pages will involve LGBT+ ships. So, any hate attacks or discrimination based on (but not limited to) race, sex, sexuality, gender or age against any users will be grounds for a block.

Sockpuppeting
 * Users are allowed to have multiple accounts on wikia. However, on this wiki, if you are using your multiple account for disruptive reasons, to evade a block, to impersonate another user or to gain more votes for something, then this will be grounds for a block/warning.

Editing
Vandalism
 * Any vandalism including those posted below is considered unacceptable. Vandalism is defined as any bad-faith edit made with the intent to lower the quality of the wiki or disrupt the functioning of the community. (If the vandalism is accidental, then an admin will sort the issue out.)

Spam
 * Posting irrelevant spam links in articles, or creating articles which are entirely spam is grounds for an block. Examples of this includes, creating a page full of unnecessary gibberish, posting a large number of links in the comment section of a page or adding external links for the sake of advertising.

Move Vandalism
 * Moving/Changing the name of an article to an overly nonsensical or inappropriate title is grounds for a block.

Inappropriate account naming
 * This includes creating/changing an account name to something inappropriate, or to impersonate/insult another user.

Blanking articles
 * Users who remove all the content of a page without a reason will be warned and asked why this occurred. If you disagree with an article's creation, or you want a page to be deleted--add the template to the page. An admin will look over the page and decide if it needs to be deleted.

Blank Pages
 * Pages that do not list the fandom or characters involved in a ship is subject to an immediate deletion. Creating five or more pages in a day that are Skeletons will subject the user to a block for at least a week.

Images
Fanart
 * Fanart is allowed on the wiki. However, a source of the artist must be added to the file page using the Template:Image Description. An example of this is: File:FitzWard_-_andlatitude_fanart.png. If you are unsure of how to do this, please contact a admin. Fanart that is used on this wiki, must not violate copyright. Please make sure that the artist is okay with the file being uploaded to the site. Any unsourced fanart with be deleted if a source is not added, and cannot be found.

Inappropriate Images
 * No pornography or explicit violent images are allowed to be uploaded to this wiki. This policy is also enforced around the whole of FANDOM. Any images that involve kissing, partial lack of clothes, cuddling, etc are allowed on the wiki. However, any images that involve genitalia will be removed and is subject to a block.

Own Images
 * If you want to upload a non-shipping related image to your userpage, this is allowed. Please add the Template:User Image to the image. Please do not any irrelevant images to the articles.

Userpages
Editing other userpages
 * Editing another user's page without permission is considered an act of vandalism. Please ask the user if you want to edit their page before doing so, even if it is to improve the page. However, adding the Category:Users or making very minor adjustments (such as userbox code changes, changing certain links) to someone else's page without permission is allowed.
