The rules will be ranked by importance. Level one is one of the worst rules to be broken, so avoid breaking these. Rules ranked lower don't have very severe consequences. An admin will warn you of your possible block time when you break a rule.
Level 1
- Vandalism
- This may be a wiki, but that doesn't mean that the content is owned by everyone. Users shouldn't change other people's property. Especially not deface it. If an edit is found to be vandalism, you will be warned, and if you persist you will be blocked based on the type of vandalism.
- Mature content
- There are kids on wikia. Please don't post content that isn't suitable for users under 13. You will be warned when such happens. Mature content includes excessive use of curse words. It also includes whatever any person off the street would consider <censored>. Please mouse over.
Level 2
- Plagiarism
- Posting content that isn't owned by you without attributing it to the author. You will be warned, and if you continue, appropriate action will be taken.
- Harassment/Insults
- To annoy persistently and/or asking someone something multiple times after getting an answer are the things we see as harassment. You will be warned and appropriate actions will be taken. No one likes to be insulted. Depending on how bad the insult is, appropriate consequences will be decided.
- Threats
- When you threaten another user, you will be warned. If you continue your bad behavior, appropriate action will be taken.
- Bad Grammar
- This isn't a social networking site. If you can't type correctly, the wiki starts to look crappy. There is a small exception for dyslexic users, because they cannot help making spelling mistakes and typos. We like the wiki high quality, so please improve your grammar. Consequences vary from deletion of page to a one month block (after 2 weeks or no improvement at all), or a block until the user's 13Th birthday if under 13.
- Non-PokéFanon page creation
- If you create pages that do not relate to the wiki, you will be warned, and if bad behavior continues, appropriate action will be taken.
Level 3
- Bad edits
- Please follow the Style Guide. It keeps the wiki in tip-top shape. Deletion of page will happen when the page isn't improved within 3 days.
Level 4
- Category Abuse
- Pages must be placed in the correct categories. An admin will warn you when you don't categorize correctly, and will direct you in the correct way.
Level 5
- Sock-puppetry
- You don't need more than one account on wikia. If you are found to own more than one account, you will be asked what your main account is and others will be blocked. All accounts will be blocked for same time as host account. Depending on the number of sock-puppets, 2 months will be added to your block time.
Other
