Introduction
The following page is regarding rules for discussions about profiles, whether the codex statistics section is wrong or needs to be updated, general information is wrong or needs to be updated, powers and techniques are wrong or need to be updated, etcetera.
While there used to be rule bans for specific verses, this was eventually removed as it was deemed ultimately pointless and limited overall conversation. Especially with how various rules on the site change in frequent timeframes.
General Rules
- It is advised that if you are planning to make a thread on a topic you check to see if other threads have been made regarding the topic.
- It is also doubly advised to not be rude while on a thread, please be respectful.
- When creating new discussion threads, it is required that our members add the relevant previously existing tags to them, for example, the verse and most prominent characters that will be discussed during a content revision. If something goes wrong, and you need to add or change the tags of a certain thread, please ask the staff for help.
- Only add tags that are directly relevant to the discussion threads. This includes the names of verses and characters for which revisions are being argued.
- When arguing for changing anything about a profile, do not assume that the commenters will have in-depth knowledge about the fictional franchise in question. Make sure to explain your suggestions in a structured manner that is easy to comprehend. This makes it far easier to evaluate threads. This also works the other way around, however. Do not write overly long and complicated threads that no one will realistically read through, it is preferable to keep your arguments concise, comprehensible, and explanatory.
- Content Revision Threads need to be supported by scans or any other direct proof that claimed events happened in the source material.
- To get better input in a content revision thread, inspect the knowledgeable members list to get information about the people who know much about a franchise (you can find it on each franchise verse page).
- Generally try to avoid derailing content revision discussion threads from the original topic. Too many different subjects will cause a thread to never finish.
- This rule is listed specifically towards admins, do not act like your opinion regarding a thread is the ultimate say towards it. A thread’s acceptance is based on if enough knowledgeable members agree to the changes provided, the staff’s job is only to moderate threads and make sure they stay on track, along with offering insight regarding how the site treats certain concepts.
