Wiki Code of Conduct

The Basics

 * Don't edit pages that aren't yours without the explicit permission of the page author.
 * When uploading files, be sure they are named appropriately. You can read more on this at Uploading images to the Wiki.
 * It is very important for the wiki team to be able to identify file names in association to their user/character/clan/page.
 * If an uploaded file is not named accordingly it will be removed from the wiki without warning.
 * No retaliatory use of the wiki. See below for more details.
 * Lore pages and edits MUST be approved by the @Wiki Maestros before they are fully implemented into the wiki.
 * Information found on the wiki is considered OOC and not to be used in the IC realm without the explicit permission of the page's author. The only exception is "Public Opinions."
 * All independent wiki'ers be aware that all code utilized on this wiki is considered open use for the community. If you post a cool gallery design, sidebar, etc, it's inevitable someone else may want to use it for their own page. Code borrowing is how noob wiki'ers become pro wiki'ers. Just remember to thank the person you borrowed code from for providing you with something beautiful.
 * DO NOT post NSFW content on character pages or clan pages UNLESS you have the NSFW content in a collapsed cell indicating it is nsfw. If you don't know how to do that go here and view the source code like you did in the character page walkthrough then copy the cell code under "Collapsible Cells for NSFW Content." If you can't get it to work don't post it until you ask for some help and learn how to fix it.
 * When creating pages for stories that have NSFW content/images, please put NSFW at the beginning of your page name when creating the page. That way no one accidentally clicks a page only to get written up at work for looking at inappropriate content.

No Retaliatory Use of the Wiki
What does this mean? Don't use the wiki for RP wiki wars.

There is a section many people add to their pages called "Public Opinions." This section is intended to allow your character to post who they know IC and what their PUBLICLY KNOWN opinions are about them.

All well and good, right? HOWEVER, if we see players utilizing this section in a retaliatory fashion that is not backed by ACTIVELY RPing the page will be immediately locked and the offending player will either be put on a wiki time-out, or with repeat offenses potentially banned from the wiki and in extreme cases... removed from the server as this particular misstep falls into the metagaming category.

It's usually pretty easy to spot when this sort of thing happens based on timestamps and logs.

Example:
Benesh posts on her "Public Opinions" in her character page the following: ''Dronikos is such a jerk. He's nice to your face, but then stabs you in the back.''

Dronikos sees that Benesh's "Public Opinion" is negative and immediately responds not via RP, but by posting a new "Public Opinion" for Benesh: ''No, Benesh is the jerk! She is stinky!''

NO. NO. NO. Do not do this. RP. Don't flame each other through "Public Opinions." The wiki team is watching. If there's no reason beyond a new "Public Opinion" to change the opinion of the offending character DO NOT DO IT.

Admin & Moderator Edits
Wiki admin and moderators are constantly scanning new and old pages via the "recent changes." Often times if we see an opportunity to cross-link pages, we'll hop in and make the modification. Same with formatting for page cleanliness. If you see an admin or mod make an edit on your personal page, don't panic. We're probably just inserting a link to your clan or a redirect link to up your page's visibility and keep on top of cross-link management.

You can check your page's "History" to see all edits and who made them as well as what those edits were. Work in wiki is rarely lost. It can usually be reverted or undone.

If the Admin/mods find non-canonical lore, OOC inciting verbiage or any other thing that breaks server rules it will be removed without warning and you most likely will be hearing from us soon after.
