A solid set of rules helps keep our community positive and constructive. Please follow our rules to help make this community a good place for everyone.
- Be a good community member. Don't engage in edit wars, name-calling, or harsh criticism of other users.
- Stay civil and polite. Don't call names or insult anyone. If you disagree with someone, express your opinion on the topic politely without resorting to personal insults.
- Don't bite the newbies. Newcomers might not understand our rules and conventions well yet. Give them gentle guidance instead of being rude to them. Many can become great editors with the right encouragement.
- Don't harass anyone. If someone wants to be left alone, leave them alone.
- Respect all groups of people. Diversity brings new perspectives, encouraging learning and growth. Putting down certain groups (e.g. women, people of color, or disabled people) hurts our community. Avoid sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. language and stereotypes.
- Don't present opinions as facts. Be clear about what is expert consensus versus your own opinion.
- Don't engage in too much self-promotion. It's okay to put your blog, website, social media, etc. on your profile page. Sometimes, it may be appropriate to cite your own work on a page if it's relevant. But don't spam links to your work in articles or discussion.
- Keep articles accurate and on-topic. New articles should be related to our wiki's subject in some way. Make sure that you're writing accurate information and citing quality sources. Misinformation, especially misinformation about health and safety, is important to keep off the wiki.[1][2]
Getting help
If you're unclear about anything, or if there's a problem, ask an admin for help.
If a spammer, vandal, or troll is making obvious bad-faith edits, don't argue with them. (They're often looking for attention, so don't reward them by giving them that.) Instead, revert the bad edit(s). Then report the problem to an admin and to Fandom's SOAP team.
