All users should be treated with respect, this includes their Religion, gender, disorders, etc. If a user is caught disrespecting, they will receive punishable blocks:


 * 1) 3-6 months - if it is done for the first time.
 * 2) 12-indefinite block - if it is done repeatedly.

2. Vandalization
Vandalization will not be tolerated in any form. Vandalization includes blanking articles or user pages, adding nonsense or gibberish into articles, creating inappropriate articles or files, and spam.

Any form of vandalization will be rolled back by an administrator or moderator. You will receive a month or indefinite block, depending on how severe it is.

3. Not safe for Work (NSFW)
NSFW (Not safe for Work) content is completely forbidden whatsoever, as most of our wiki contributors are minors, and WikiTide does not allow NSFW content.

This includes making pages that are related to it, adding information about NSFW to articles, which also count as vandalism and uploading NSFW images.

Any image or article regarding the content will be deleted immediately and any information about it will be reverted. You will also receive an indefinite block if you do so.

1. Sockpuppetry
Sockpuppetry will get you into trouble here. Such as making an account to impersonating someone, using it as a "good hand and bad hand" account or just nonsense.
 * When you're blocked on the wiki, please do not create another one, as it counts as block evading.
 * Role-play accounts out of characters also fall under that category and also count as nonsense.

If it is done once, you will be blocked for one month on the sockpuppet account and on your account. If you use multiple accounts to abuse your block, you will be blocked for indefinite, as well as getting globally locked on your sockpuppets.

2. Being Under 13
You must be 13 or older to create an account on WikiTide. Underaged users are not allowed to create an account due to the COPPA policy. Keep in kind Art's Animations' videos are 13+. If a user is seen admitting they are under 13 (ex. saying they are whatever age they are on their userpage or even saying it on their talk page.), they will be banned from WikiTide until they turn said age.

3. Anonymous Users
Due to abusive IP ranges and higher chance of vandalization, anonymous editing is permanently disabled. Please log in or sign up if you wish to contribute to this wiki.

4. Username

5. Mini-modding
Do not mini-mod. Mini-modding means acting like an administrator or a moderator, despite not being one. Mini-modding includes giving users warnings or threatening to block them. If a user is seen mini-modding on the wiki, contact an administrator or moderator.

6. Capitals
While it is okay to use capitals, do not overdo it, especially raging in all capitals with a lot of exclamation marks as it just makes yourself immature. Anyone who is doing it will be given a warning or a block depending on how many times it's been done.

7. Foe Requests
Do not send foe requests to users, no matter if you don't like them, it will make things worse and you will be blocked for 6-12 months. Doing it on an administrator/moderator will receive an indefinite block.

8. Threats
Sending threats on the wiki is not allowed whatsoever, examples include:
 * Death threats
 * As mentioned before, block threats to users and administrators (mostly when edit-warring + this can make the staff suspicious about your age.)
 * Account threats

Any threats will receive a block, depending on how severe it is.

9. Hate Speech
Hate speech, such as homophobia, racism, sexism or any derogatory language towards a person or group to people are completely forbidden. Excuses such as "Religion" or a "joke" does not mean you are allowed to hate them.

6. Copy-Pasting
We ONLY accept copy-pasting articles from the now-closed Art's Animations Wiki (Russian) on Fandom. You can do it here but please translate it and fix errors, as the translation can be bad at times. However, we do not accept copy-pasting from other wikis, especially the Polandball wikis, as this wiki will only discuss about Art's Animations' Countryballs, and not the entire fandom as a whole, or Wikipedia whatsoever. If a user is seen copy-pasting information from other wikis instead of recovering, they will receive a warning.

7. Controversial Content
is a wiki covering official information from the Art's Animations channel. Because of this, we cannot control the information represented in the article(s). Any article that covers controversial countries will be permanently protected to prevent multiple vandalization.
 * If the article appears to be way too offensive, make a Requests for Deletion, and please wait, as our wiki staff aren't always online at the same time due to different time zones.

Please refrain from using any profanity in articles unless a quote, or a part of a subtitle officially has it. Any use of profanity will be reverted, and you will receive a warning if this was done.

1. Categories
Do not add categories to blogs besides the Blogs category, as it will clog up the categories.

Page-Making Rules
Do not make pages of:
 * Alternative Universes (Head-canons of characters): They're not official and should not be created or even added to articles of the characters you're head-canning. Please do them in blogs instead.
 * Non-existent videos: No explanation.
 * Videos that haven't been released yet: We can't explain the plot, duration or the characters that are in it if the video is not released yet. If a video is released, then yes.

Fanart is allowed. However, fanart that has use of a circle tool, black lines between the flag colors, Poland's flag not being inverted, "fanart" being made from apps such as Countryball Stickers, etc are forbidden due to the Polandball rules.
