These are the rules used to govern and protect the Pikmin Wiki. Thorough violation of them will result in a block warning or an instantaneous block, depending on the magnitude of the rule. If you have questions or concerns about this page, contact an Administrator. If you feel you are wrongly blocked, contact those Admins on their Community Central Message Walls. Fandom Staff can also be contacted via this link.

Rules

  1. Excessive use of profane/vulgar language will not be tolerated, along with slurs of any kind. Some lower-level swear words are generally permitted, but use deemed more than infrequent is frowned upon. Acronyms of profanities are also prohibited. Minor violations will be met with minor consequences, but any use is still discouraged.
  2. Vulgar usernames are not allowed. Any user in possession of a username with vulgarity to make any action on this Wiki, regardless of the action, will be consulted about a username change. If they deny, they will be blocked indefinitely, but the block may be relieved if/when a username change occurs.
  3. Do not troll or threaten any user on this Wiki. There is a zero-tolerance policy for personal attacks, and any instances of harassment will result in strict punishment.
  4. Vandalism is simply and completely outlawed. Accidental damages of unaware users are be fine, but any accounts solely coming to the Wiki to attack will be blocked instantaneously.
  5. Debate is encouraged, but even more important is maintaining a civil discussion. If you feel the need to invalidate or criticise another user’s argument, do so without attacking them as a person, and be open-minded about differing opinions.
  6. Do not ever conspire or plan assaults against other Wikis. Regardless of outlying issues, vandalism against other communities is never the answer.
  7. Exercise restraint from responding to old comments on Message Walls, Forums, Blogs, and the like unless you have something truly important to say on the topic.
  8. Do not add fan content, speculation, or bias to articles. When editing, always use a neutral and professional point of view.
  9. Any images uploaded or posted on the Wiki must be completely appropriate. Any uploading of pornography, regardless of context or situation, will result in an instantaneous and infinite IP block of the user who uploaded it, and consultation with Fandom Staff to heighten it to a global block. Images containing vulgarity will also be deleted, and the uploader of them will be block-warned or blocked depending on its magnitude. Gore is also prohibited and will result in an instantaneous (and possibly infinite) block. Other inappropriate depictions will be handled depending on the situation, but a good principle to go by is whether or not it'd be permitted in a school environment. If not, don't upload or post it.
  10. Any uploaded images irrelevant to the Pikmin Wiki must be tagged with {{UserImage}}, assuming they are appropriate and present on a user's user page. If they are not present on any user pages, they qualify for deletion.
  11. Do not engage in promotion of any other Wikis. Excessive self-promotion is also discouraged.
  12. Do not create pages, posts, comments, and the like without reason, or to solicit upvotes or replies of an also meaningless substance. It is considered spam, and will be treated as such.
  13. Disrupting the Wiki with "edit warring" over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not productive.
  14. Do not ask for a user's personal or account information. Such offense may be met with block warnings or immediate blocks depending on what was asked.
  15. Any religious or political discussion is prohibited.
  16. Discussion of gore or violence is not permitted. Discussing the defeat of a boss or the death of a Pikmin, while unpleasant, is not considered gore, as it is in the bounds of the game series.
  17. If you are blocked, have at least a sliver of maturity and don't return on an alternate account. Any alternate accounts found will be immediately blocked alongside their original.
  18. Impersonation of other users or famous people will not be tolerated. Impersonators will be blocked immediately and infinitely.
  19. Off-topic conversations and posts will be deleted. However, if Wikians are bantering passively in an off-topic thread, the post will not be deleted until conversation slows down, as the staff members here aren't and shouldn't ever be cold.
  20. The Off-Topic Discussions Category is not designed for anything you so desire. It involves being off-topic in the realm of Pikmin, essentially serving as a miscellaneous category. For example, a post about a completely different game series will be deleted, but anything relating to Pikmin or this Wiki will stay as long as it violates no other rule.
  21. Pikmin-based roleplays are permitted, as long as they do not become spam. Roleplays must be Pikmin related, and if not, will be taken down.

Successful following of these rules will contribute to the greatness of our community! Have fun!
