Changes: The Creature Wiki: Policies

Revision as of 20:14, 28 April 2014

Our policies are short and simple. Failure to meet these guidelines will result in a ban! Bans usually last for a year so think carefully before you click the edit button! Lesser infractions will merit a temporary ban, blatant vandalism will earn a long-term ban.

General

CITE/SOURCE any information found and provided by linking, and/or screenshots, and videos. Especially information regarding factual information of the Creatures and affiliates.
- If you are going to edit a page, please know what you are talking about since griefing can be just as harmful when it is unintentional.
Don't attempt to make edits or pages without knowing who the Creatures are.
When you make a page, please make it related to the Creatures (e.g The Tree Fortress and Brown).
- Do not make pages about the games they play.
- Do add pages for games series but only if they have a specific and individual name, such as The Ex-Communicated Series and The Tree House Reborn.
Do not make a page about a video game character, including Will Smith.
Special guests (e.g IHascupquake and Luclin ) can be made into pages but only if they have appeared in more than TWO series with at least one Creature.
Do not add pages for livestreams unless they were of some importance (i.e. 24 Hour Mega Stream Spectacular) or had a particular theme (i.e. 24-Hour LiveScream).

Structure

When creating pages, attempt to keep in the structure of introduction paragraph or sentence, history paragraph, bio/summary paragraph and trivia section.
There should be a maximum of THREE trivia points on a Creature's personal page, the rest should be appropriately placed on their specialized trivia page.
Article comments are their to help with a page. Give your opinion, ask a question, or suggest a change to the article. If your comment adds nothing to an article, or is in any way rude/ obnoxious/ offensive/ just pointless, it will be removed. Depending on how severely you break this rule yo may be banned.

Etiquette

Do not harass other editors or wiki users in any way.
Although the you can be banned for violating our policies, ultimately the decision of banning is up to the admins. If you think you were wrongfully banned, please feel free to contact us about it.
No griefing or vandalizing pages.
