Art's Animations Wiki:Rules

Offical Rules of the
These are the official rules of the wiki. Keep in mind not all of them are punishable. Anyone who does not follow Miraheze's Terms of Use or Code of Conduct will be punishable.

1. Respect
Please respect all users in this wiki. Even if you're not getting along with them, it still counts as not showing respect.
 * Be blocked for 1 month, 6 months or 12 months, depending on how severe it is. If on an admin or bureaucrat, it will be 2 months but if severe, will be indefinite.

2. Vandalization
Vandalization is not allowed in this wiki whatsoever. This includes adding nonsense/gibberish to pages, adding false information, editing peoples userpages without their permission and blanking the pages.
 * Punishment: 6-12 months, depending of how severe it is. Indefinite block if done on more than 3 pages.

3. Not safe for Work (NSFW)
Not safe for work content is definitely not allowed on whatsoever, since:

1) Most of us users on this wiki are minors. We are not old enough to see NSFW.

2) NSFW content out of minors violates Miraheze's content policy #2 and #6: This includes but is not limited to sales of various forms of contraband (ivory, fissionable material, roofies, controlled substances), incitement to violence or hatred, or underage nudity. And 6. Miraheze does not host wikis of a sexual nature which involve minors in any way.

This includes making pages that are related to it, adding information about NSFW to articles, which also count as vandalism and uploading NSFW images.
 * Punishment: Any image or page about it will be deleted immediately and any information about it will be reverted. Will 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 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 Miraheze, FANDOM or any wiki-host. 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 Miraheze until they turn 13.

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
Make sure your username is appropriate enough to be on Miraheze. If your username mentions inappropriate content, you will be blocked or globally locked until you change your username. You can request to change your username here.

5. Mini-modding
Do not mini-mod. Mini-modding means acting like an administrator or a moderator when you're not one, such as 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 (ex. "YOU BETTER STOP REVERTING MY EDITS OR I WILL BLOCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!") 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: Punishment: depending on how severe it is.
 * 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 (ex. "If you don't stop, I will make more accounts", "Stop right now or I will delete your account!!")
 * Silly and nonsense threats

9. Homophobia, Racism, Nazism, etc
Many of these are completely forbidden from the wiki, because it is disrespectful and may offend someone, even if it's a joke. Doing that will receive a 6 month-1 year block or an indefinite block.

1. Images unrelated to Art's Animations
Images unrelated to Art's Animations are only allowed when making userpages or profile pictures on the user infoboxes. If an image unrelated to Art's Animations hasn't been used in 24 hours, it will be deleted.

 * Do not clog up the files section with way too many unrelated images. Many of them will be deleted by an administrator or moderator.

2. Keep Things Official
Images uploaded should be official. If there is an image uploaded to the wiki of a countryball, but isn't the countryball from Art's Animations, it will be deleted.

Articles on videos, characters and others should be related to Art's Animations and said channel only. If you don't know or remember what happened in the video/about the character and their appearances, we suggest you rewatch the video or a video when said character you're creating a page. Creating articles of topics that aren't related to Art's Animations will receive a warning or a block if it is done again.

2. Other Languages
While Art's Animations' is a Russian-speaking channel, the pages should be in English due to the wiki being an English wiki. Pages in foreign languages are not allowed and will be reverted or deleted.
 * If you wish to contribute the wiki in Russian, please go to this wiki instead.

3. False Information
Do not insert false information to articles, this means adding information about content that is not real or has never even happened in the channel, or adding a character that doesn't make an appearance on a video. Doing that will receive a block.

4. Grammatical Errors
Please remember to fix the grammar on articles. Pages should not be written with poor writing and grammar to the point it makes the article confusing to read. Doing that will not receive warnings or blocks but will receive a reminder to fix your grammar.

5. 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, they will receive a warning.

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

2. Only Use it for Randomness, Important Things or Suggestions
You can use blogs for randomness, important things or suggestions you want to talk about. Satire blogs are slightly allowed, but keep it appropriate and respectful. Any satire blog that is disrespectful, inappropriate or offensive will be deleted immediately and you will receive a warning.

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.
 * Countries/Characters that haven't been seen in Art's Animations: Like with videos, we can't explain their appearances. If they are seen in the videos, yes.
 * OCs or Parody Characters: Same as headcanons, they are not official.

Do not advertise in the discussions, most notably, advertising a wiki that isn't slightly recognised or advertising a wiki made by you. Making discussions of finding a wiki that hasn't had any active users or contributions also counts as advertising. Doing that will receive a warning.

3. Fanart
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. Any fanart that has any use of these will be deleted and a friendly warning will be received.
