Rules of the Wiki

Rules of the War Dragons Wikia

Introduction

These are the rules laid down to reasonably protect our wiki. They may be changed through votes to ensure that they are fair, but may only be edited by admins to make sure nobody makes negative changes to them that are not beneficial.

Articles

No Vandalism to the Main Page

This includes spam, advertisements, and removing important messages. The main page is not a giant ad.

What is acceptable:

• Coding to make it look more professional
• Adding interesting or helpful features
• Fixing errors

No Badge Farming*

We don't even have badges, so don't even try. This website is not supposed to be accolade heaven; this is a website made to benefit learning about War Dragons.

*Badge farming is the unnecessary and deliberate editing of a page (sometimes leading to spam) to achieve badges and rank up.

No Counterproductive Pages

Please, do not add any unnecessary pages to this wiki. Adding information about Skyrim, for example, is unrelated to War Dragons and will not supply useful or organized information to viewers who come here for help.

Chat + Forum

No Flamewars

Flamewars are often time-consuming -- and a waste of time. Please be respectful to one another and don't fight over everything, especially if it's not worth fighting over.

No Cursing

Not everybody likes to hear other people spewing curse words, and some users are still rather young yet. Please keep it clean.

Please Keep your Personal Information

We might not know you, but we still care about your safety. Please keep your personal information to yourself, such as your age, name, and password.

Stay on Topic

This is just a suggestion, but it's a good one. If you're having a conversation, for example, about which dragon is the best, and suddenly the topic changes to unicorns, a lot of people will get left behind or confused.

Promotions

Please Don't Ask for a Rank 24/7

We can't stress this enough. It gets really irritating. The wiki is not all about being the best, and getting a rank does not make you the best. We're not saying you can't ask, but we're also not saying that you can get a free rank, and impatience will not help your cause.

Qualifications for Ranks

We know being an admin or a bureaucrat is super cool, but if you're new and we don't really know you, you haven't been around long, have been inactive, or you haven't done anything productive, then we're not about to hand out a free rank.

To get a rank is not up to a single user who can just give out a rank, either, even if that user has good judgement. It is up to the community as a whole.

How to Get a Rank === To get a rank, you must be a dedicated member who corresponds with the requirements for the particular rank you are shooting for. Then, you must ask the Council, and they will highlight a promotion discussion for you with a link to a poll, where the community will vote for or against you.

No Freebies

To those who have ranks and are able to grant them to others, please do not promote someone just because they are your best friend.

Council

The Council is a higher level tier supervised by specially selected bureaucrats and monitored by administrators (admins) who are fair of heart and worthy enough to partake in the dealings of the Council.

The Council is responsible for promoting members whom truly deserve it. They are also responsible for demoting members who abuse their powers. This special council is also the only
