Power Pals Wiki Rules

Like most wikis, the Power Pals Wiki has rules and guidelines. We are very serious with our rules. Please read them before contributing to the wiki!

These are the rules that every user is required to follow while visiting the Power Pals Wiki. Intentionally breaking these rules will result in your account/IP address being temporarily (or permanently) blocked from editing, commenting or leaving messages.

Have any questions? Comment below.

Basic rules

 * 1) You must be at least 13 years old to edit this wiki. This is one of the primary rules of Terms of Use.
 * 2) You must be logged in to an official FANDOM account to edit, comment, or send messages on this wiki. Starting an account is easy and can be helpful with keeping track of your edits, and it is also more secure. (Side note: It's fine to be an anomy user, but only if you already have an official account or can't access your account)
 * 3) Please use the English language when speaking or making edits.
 * 4) For your safety and privacy, we ask that you please don't upload and post a real picture of yourself to the wiki.
 * 5) Don't ask for users' ages, as it violates Fandom's ToU.
 * 6) Don't ask to be an admin. Admins will decide whether you're trustworthy or not and if you're familiar with the wiki.

Moderator and Admin Rules

 * 1) Don't block users without a proper or valid reason.
 * 2) If a user request a block appeal, consider it and decide whether it's alright for the user to be unblocked or not.
 * 3) Please be as kind as you can while giving warnings to users.

Message Wall Guidelines

 * 1) If you get warned by an admin, do not delete the message. You will receive a new warning and you may receive a short block.
 * 2) Please be kind and considerate.
 * 3) Do not fight with users.
 * 4) Do not leave threatening, mean, or hurtful messages. They will be deleted.
 * 5) Please do not spam messages. If a user does not respond to a message you left, do not repeatedly message them. Please be patient. It's alright to leave another message i they don't respond in a week.

Commenting

 * 1) Spamming senseless or otherwise unnecessary comments will result in a permanent ban. Some examples of this are posting random symbols & letters, single words with no meaning, etc.
 * 2) All caps comments are only allowed when being positive. (eg. YEAH) Comments that appear to be negatively screaming will also be removed.
 * 3) The Power Pals do not like to hear bad language. Any comment, blog post, talk page, or any edit involving any obscene or sexual language is against the rules.
 * 4) No spamming in the comments. Comments like these are a waste of time and do not need to be here, period.
 * 5) Commenting in mass is considered spam. (eg. Making 20 comments in less than 10 minutes)

Story Guidelines

 * 1) You are welcome to create stories about anything you'd like as long as there is no violence. Please keep violence to a minimum.
 * 2) No uses of curse words. (However, crap and frick, (fricking) are acceptable in stories. Sh**, faggot, and damn are fine to be used in stories, but only once or twice. No slurs allowed, either).
 * 3) Story articles must have appropriate content.
 * 4) NSFW is NOT tolerated here. Those pages will be deleted.

Advice Pages

 * 1) You are welcome to create advice articles as long as they have appropriate content.

Editing behavior

 * 1) Vandalism is not tolerated. Vandalizing is editing a page to include false or silly information, or making the entire page blank. For example, changing one word to an obscenity will be reverted.
 * 2) Renaming a page is fine if there is some sort of spelling mistake/typo.
 * 3) Please do not revert/undo an administrator's edit without good reason.

Personal behavior

 * 1) Threatening, bullying, or any form of harassment towards another is not tolerated. Doing so will result in a block and a report to FANDOM Staff if necessary.
 * 2) A user is not to negatively call out/"name drop" another user in a comment or blog post.
 * 3) Editing someone else's profile page is not allowed unless they gave you permission to do so.
 * 4) Admins have the right to edit someone's profile page if it is found to include anything that is a violation of our guidelines, and will usually include reasoning for doing so in their edit summary.
 * 5) Please refrain from mentioning subjects relating to politics or any kind of religion.

Being blocked/banned

 * 1) Block evasion is not tolerated (e.g. abusing multiple accounts, attempting to return using another source, etc.) Doing so will cause your block to be extended or made permanent.
 * 2) Please don't harass an admin on a different wiki about being blocked. However, if you have a peaceful, valid reason as to why you believe the block should be shortened or lifted, it will be considered. If you block cannot be shortened or lifted, please do not harass the blocking admin about it. Please be mature about it.

Additional Rules
Below is an additional suggested set of rules to follow when editing this wiki. Administrators of this wiki should read these rules and adapt them as necessary.

We hope you will follow these guidelines. Have fun, but remember to read and follow the rules.
 * 1) 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.
 * 2) Be a productive member of the wiki: Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Please 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.
 * 3) 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? Please ask an administrator!
 * 4) Do not harass other users: If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes. It is their wall.
 * 5) 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
