User blog:Sonic of Prodigy/Rules (Copy)

These rules are for the wiki's sake and for everyone's safety. Please do not break these rules otherwise you will be forbidden from editing and/or commenting, and a possible Blocking.

Main Rules
These rules must be followed no matter what circumstances.
 * "I did not read the rules" is not an excuse.
 * All of FANDOM's Terms of Service apply.
 * You will be chastised for breaking the rules!
 * Please, no impersonation of any other users or people in real life.
 * Please don't advertise on this wiki unless with staff permission.
 * Respect everyone as though you would respect other children. This site is child-friendly.
 * Do not spam, vandalize, hack, troll, or abusing accounts for a bad purpose on the wiki, or any of the relating websites to this site.
 * Spamming is when you have to comment on something that's useless, repetitive, short, or has a simple opinion (not like an explanation. You would need to elongate your opinion on a comment for it to count!).
 * Vandalism is simply anything that is disrespectful.
 * Hacking is using code for an evil purpose.
 * Trolling, well you get the idea, but it is disrespect in any way towards anything existent online.
 * Abusing accounts is when someone has more than 1 Fandom account to use on a wiki for a bad purpose. Making more than 1 account is fine, but a blocked user that abuses accounts will get blocked again by staff or FANDOM. This sometimes happens after they get blocked from at least 1 of the 4 reasons above, trying the same thing again.
 * Please only use English on this site. Until our French version will be created for the Canadian players of the game, only English is allowed here (any form works as long as it contains proper grammar).

Editing

 * Edit only your own profile, unless you are a staff member.
 * Have full "right judgement" when submitting your edit, as anything from there can be purged and punished.
 * Fix all typos you see, please be a good samaritan on this topic.
 * Only add necessary categories to articles.
 * Only add NON-red-colored links to articles. Please ask a SYSOP for permission to add a red one.
 * Only add clean, transparent-background images (unless full-screen-screenshots) to articles.
 * Do not make null edits. This will always be considered as edit farming.
 * If you believe that the protection level on an article is not fair or right, contact a content moderator to request a protection to change on an article.
 * Add only the proper infoboxes to an article.

Image Rules

 * Keep them child-friendly.
 * Absolutely no art theft! Images that aren't yours shouldn't be posted unless for the good of the wiki.
 * All images here that you post become property of FANDOM.
 * Keep all images uploaded to be Prodigy-related as of 2019. Off-topic images of any kind will be removed from profiles. This cleaning begins in March 2019, but the rule must follow since this revision.

Rollbacks

 * Rollbacks have the ability to instantly undo edits.
 * When using this right, contact an administrator (unless you are one) if a big edit has been made or there's a problem you need help with for your role.
 * If someone made a null edit, PLEASE revert it/undo it using your power. Give the user a message warning.
 * You have permission to give other users warnings via message walls about the following topics:
 * Null edits, only adding or deleting spaces or doing nothing to a page.

Chat/Discussion Moderators

 * Chat and Discussion Moderators are able to delete comments and ban regular users from chat.
 * Do not delete comments just because they are contrary to your beliefs.
 * Unless they absolutely need to be deleted, do not delete them. More comments make the wiki seem friendly, and not like a deserted wasteland.
 * You have permission to give other users warnings via message walls about the following topics:
 * Severe spam, using repeated spam or spam for harshness.
 * Disobedient to Commentary Rules, if there's commentary rules a user doesn't follow, warn them.
 * Message farming, or simply and randomly landing a message to another user to intentionally earn an achievement badge.
 * Blog farming, or adding blogs that have uselessness or are renegades to the rules.

Sysops

 * Sysops are Content Moderators, Administrators, and Bureaucrats.
 * When starting big projects, notify at least half of the staff (currently just tell at least three other staff members).
 * If they do not wish for the project to continue, do not continue with it.
 * Do not change the wiki theme without permission of our bureaucrat.
 * You have the right to warn others about anything if they disobey the rules.

Bureaucrats

 * Bureaucrats are the highest rank on a wiki, excluding FANDOM Staff.
 * This applies to the bureaucrats, and these laws still are unable to change, even though their bureaucrat ancestors and predecessors have defied them.

Commentary Rules

 * Do not edit other people's commentary unless you have the rights to do so.
 * Do not minimod.
 * Keep on topic to the title or purpose of a thread/article.
 * Article Comments
 * Do not brag about your achievements related to the topic. It is offensive.
 * It is suggested that you speak here about the fact reliability of the article, not reporting it to a staff member.
 * Blog Posts
 * Please keep blogs about unimportant topics to a minimum unless they are strictly about Prodigy. Usual allowed blogs can be about:
 * Wiki policy changes/large polls.
 * Prodigy content.
 * Speeches/letters.
 * Do not create empty, short, real-life diaries, or giveaway-type of blog posts as it is useless and pointless, you will face extreme punishment for doing that. It's considered spam. If you are trying to focus on a single person, put something on their Message Wall instead as well. Examples of blog purposes we no longer allow:
 * Short, one-paragraph blogs.
 * Introductions to the community.
 * Real-life events or diaries (except as explanations for personal wiki activity reduction).

Maintenance Category Help
There are a group of categories reserved for the use of making the articles with them better in specific ways. There are currently many, but with the power of our strong and strengthening community, these maintenance categories should be deleted from articles that are helped out and no longer deserve the categories. New updates to the Prodigy game might spring up tons of these, so we need your constant support and readiness to work for the wiki's temporary completion.
