Recommendations
1. It is helpful if you give an edit summary when doing bigger edits (500 characters or more).

2. Add categories to the image files you upload

3. Invite friends to help!

4. Be careful about giving out too accurate personal information (like exact location, details about where and how you spend your time) or pictures to people you meet on the internet.

5. Making too many edits on the same page over and over or making useless edits for getting badges is considered spam and is greatly frowned upon.

Chat and Comments
1. Chat Moderators have the right to kick from chat if they are suspicious of someone being a troll that does not have any edits.

2. If you don't like this particular pairing, it's best to stay off this wiki.

3. Inserting false information

4. It is against the Wiki Terms of Use to to ask for personal information. This includes Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, email address, MSN, Yahoo, and anything else that could be used to give away someone's location. Warnings & bans will be given to those who ask on talk pages, comments, or chat asking for personal info.

5. Spamming (advertising for someone's business, website, etc.) can earn you up to a permanent ban, depending on how much you "spammed" and if what you were posting was Shade related or not. Posting several comments with only templates and no words is considered to be spam. Edits that only have the purpose to get awards or badges are considered to be spam.

6. The only profanity that is allowed is the words "damn", "bitch", "hell", "ass", and "crap". All other swear words are to be censored, but this does not excuse any swears to be used to name call at another user.

7. Insulting other users. To see more about this rule, refer to below.

8. Harassing or threatening another user (especially regarding one's race, gender, nationality, region, or orientation). To see more about this rule, refer to below.

10. Referring to a user by anything other than their user name, unless they give alternative names on their user page.

12. Editing or deleting other user's talk pages.

13. Deliberate plagarism from from another user's blog.

14. Contact an admin BEFORE making changes to another user's profile page so we don't accdientally ban you.

15. Sexually explicit content or pictures can get you banned anywhere from a month up to a permanent ban.

16. If you are banned and you harass the admins on other wikis regarding your ban on THIS wiki, your ban time will DOUBLE the more you harass us. Harass us too far and we contact wikia staff.

17. Links posted in chat must stay up to a PG-13 guideline. Videos that contain a lot of slang, sexual content, and inappropriate images such as underwear showing are not permitted. Repeat offenses will result in a chat ban for up to a week.

18. Gossip is a ban-worthy action. If someone leaves the wiki, gets banned or causes a chat mod, spam team member or admin to quit, those who caused it will be banned. This relates to members in chat and in blogs.

19. Not having read these policies is not an excuse. If you're warned for breaking a rule, "I didn't know" is not accepted. All users need to read these.

20. Do not delete warnings from spam team members on your talk page or you will receive a ban.

Pages
1. Don't post comments in all caps; using all caps for emphasis is fine, but an entire sentence in all caps loses its effect. "With the advent of the internet, all caps in messages in became closely indentified with 'shouting' or attention-seeking behaviour and is considered very rude. As a result, netiquette generally discourages the use of all caps when posting messages online. While all caps can be used as an alternative to bolding for a single word or phrase, to express emphasis, repeated use of all caps can be considered 'shouting' or 'irritating'.

2. Inserting false information.

3. From the Wikia.com Terms of Use: "Post any illegal or unauthorized content or use for any illegal or unauthorized purposes", which means if a member asks not to use their images, don't use them without asking.

4. Removing content based on your dislike is considered vandalism.

5. If a high quality video is uploaded, don't charge it, add a new one if you think it is relevant.
