Community Guidelines

Be Good To Each Other

 * Wiki Communties are all about working together, and that takes care, tolerance, and understanding. As a wise man once said, "Be excellent to each other". So treat people well, and talk to each other, and you will have a better chance of building a great community together.


 * Being friendly and nice goes a long way, no matter where you are. Say hello to others, provide help where you can, and ask others if you need assistance. Simply being nice can greatly impact the growth and success of a community.

Look Out For Each Other

 * It goes without saying that harassment, threats, bullying and intimidation are not okay. But try to go further, and speak up for others if you see them being attacked - not by attacking back, but by trying to calm the situation and help people get along.

Look After Yourself

 * The Internet is a wonderful place but it's not the same as the offline world. You can never be sure who you are talking to online, or that they will always be friendly. So always protect yourself by keeping private stuff private.


 * Your real name, address, school name, photos of yourself or your friends and family - all of these are things you should think twice about sharing. Remember, once it's out online, it's out and you can't get it back. Just ask Beyonce!

Respect People's Privacy

 * It's especially important not to try and get personal or account info from people under 18, but it's often unnecessary and even rude to bother anyone for information about their offline life.

Build, Build, Build

 * Communities work best when they have lots of interesting stuff to bring in new readers and convert them to new editors. So the more good content you can add, the better chance the wiki has of becoming successful.


 * Remember that the content is what brings the community to the wiki; it is what you have in common, so focusing on that will help bind the community together

Keep the pages formating the same

 * Make sure all pages have the same uniform look
 * Don't remove links to references or a link that explain uncommon words as visitors might not know what the word means.
 * Don't rearrange items on pages just to increase your edits.

Attribute Fairly

 * Fandom believes in the open source movement. Creating content that can be shared and enjoyed by others is a big part of what we do. But, that doesn't mean we should ignore other's rights. Whether you use text, or images under license, with the author's permission, or under "fair use" guidelines, it's always polite to give the proper attribution.

Keep Your Account Secure

 * You are responsible for keeping your account secure. Let us know straight away if you think someone has accessed your account. If your brother gets onto your computer and vandalizes wikis, it's the account (so, you) that will be held responsible. That could lead to your account being disabled.

Never Forget To Have Fun

 * Our community is a great places to have fun, meet new people, and learn more about your favorite topics. There is serious work to be done, but you should always remember to enjoy what you are doing!

Ask For Help

 * If you are confused or need help, just ask! There is a lot of help all around you on Fandom, including our help pages, Central Discussions, local admins and Staff. No question is too small!

Collaboration Is Key

 * Wikis are based on the idea that the crowd, collectively, has a greater sum of knowledge than just one individual. That means collaborating with others is the key to creating a successful community. Collaboration means you work together to build, design and make decisions. No one person owns or rules a community site. Rather, it is built, supported and owned by all participating community members.

Practice Open-Mindedness & Assume Good Faith

 * Since sites are open to edit by anyone, users of all skill levels and opinions are welcome to participate. We assume that most people who work on a wiki are trying to help it, not hurt it. If this weren't true, a project would be doomed from the beginning. If you think there is a problem, it's best to ask the user about the issue first, then take any additional steps if need be.

Don't Encourage Or Do Illegal Stuff

 * That includes linking to illegal content (including links to copyrighted movie or TV shows) or creating a page that gives instructions on how to do something illegal.

Don't Post Hate Speech

 * We don't allow homophobic language, ethnic slurs or religious hate. That means no language or content that encourages hatred or violence, or that disparages others on the basis of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, country of origin and so on.


 * The context of language can matter - what's OK in rap lyrics might not be OK on an image caption. But even casual "I didn't mean it offensively" language can be offensive, so don't do it. And remember, an image of a burning cross might be OK illustrating a history wiki article, but not as your wiki's background image.


 * Even though you are online, this is still a community made up of real people. Mean comments, aggressive behavior, and vandalism all affect real people. If you wouldn't say it in person, don't say it here. If it breaks the Terms of Use, please don't say it at all.

Don't Post Pornography, Shock Images, or Explicit Descriptions Of Sex

 * On most wikis, this includes nudity (including bare breasts and butts). Artistic nudity may be allowed - for example a classical painting, or a small amount of nudity from a game screenshot. Medical or educational wikis may also have some nudity. But that nudity should not be the focus of the wiki, nor should it be excessively explicit.


 * If you aren't sure if an image is acceptable or not, there are two questions: Is the nudity in an appropriate context? For example, an image of breasts on the Breast Cancer Wiki would be in an appropriate context, the same image on a wiki about iCarly would not. And, is the image intended to be sexual, or to arouse? Or to put it in simpler terms, is it just fap fodder?


 * For text, content that just mentions characters have sex is likely to be OK. But content that describes exactly how they have sex, is not. Content that describes violent or non-consensual sex is expressly prohibited.


 * In the other direction, wikis about young people’s topics (like cartoons directed at young kids) are likely to get less tolerance for nudity and similar content. This includes Harry Potter porn.

Don't Pretend To Be Other People

 * Don't try to fool people into believing you are someone else. That means don't impersonate other users, or anyone else - including famous people. Of course, some wikis are all about roleplaying or parodies, but those aren't meant to mislead people. You can role-play as Batman, but don't convince people you are Batman (what do you mean he's not real?)

Don't Spam

 * It's not okay to use Fandom to advertise other sites or services. A link to another site might be useful information on a page, but not if it's purpose is to advertise that site. Even worse is if you are adding the link repeatedly, or in places where it's totally off-topic


 * "Spam" can also mean repeatedly pasting the same thing on wikis or in chat, even if it's not an advert. Don't do that either.

Don't Plagiarize Content

 * If you are bringing content to Fandom or taking it from here (or to another site), please remember to cite the authors properly. Don't assume that everything on the Internet is open for the taking. Make sure you have permission to use something before you copy it, and follow the rules for attribution when you do reuse. Everyone likes credit for their hard work!

Don't Make Personal Attacks

 * Don't make it personal, or post personal information. Wikis are meant to be a place to collaborate with others on topics that excite you. Pages meant just as an attack on someone will be removed. This includes content posted in articles and messages to other users.


 * Even though you are online, this is still a community made up of real people. Mean comments, aggressive behavior, and vandalism all affect real people. If you wouldn't say it in person, don't say it here. If it breaks the Terms of Use, please don't say it at all.

Don't add content based on your personal opinion

 * If its not in the Novel don't add it
 * If the source is from something other that the novel, cite the source
 * Don't add your personal comments.

Don't add pages unless you plan to add information.

 * Adding pages with little if no information will cause the pages to be deleted.
 * Minor characters that are in one or two chapters should be added to the Minor Characters page, not have there own page.
 * example: creating a page with just the character name will cause that page to be deleted.
 * example: creating a page and just adding minimal info will cause the page to be deleted.
 * There have already been many of these pages added and we are slowly going through them and adding the pertinent info. We don't need more pages added to give us more work.

Don't randomly make items active links.
Source: This page contains information from 1 and 2
 * Editing pages by making every name an active link is not allowed.
 * If the name is already an active link on the page, do not make the rest of the times the name appears an active link.
 * This adds too much clutter to the page and makes the page look too busy.
