Sonic Fanon Wiki:Policy/Policy and Standards

The Important Stuff in Plain English
Note: These plain English rules are not in any way a substitute for the policies listed below. Just because something isn't listed here doesn't mean it doesn't still apply.
 * Be nice. Don't be rude to people. Treat others the way you want to be treated (unless of course you like being treated like scum, then treat them the opposite way).
 * Nothing erotic or pornographic is allowed. Period.
 * Don't argue with the Moderators and Admins when it comes to their jobs. It's fine to disagree, but their decisions are final.
 * If you have an issue, please contact an administrator for help.
 * Don't re-color other people's art. It's just tacky.
 * Don't remove Delete/Standards templates unless you actually fixed the page. You can be banned for it.
 * Don't put Delete/Standards templates on pages unless you know what you're doing. You can be banned for it.
 * The administration can delete pages if they are of poor quality or in bad taste. This is at their own discretion.
 * Deleted pages may be restored as a one time courtesy if they are deleted due to standards issues. This does not apply to articles deleted for reasons of SPAM.

Article Standards
The following is an explanation of the standards that ALL pages on Sonic Fanon Wiki must follow.

 * All pages must have a minimum of two paragraphs of information about the subject when they are published.

If your page can't meet these requirements, then you should flesh out your idea more before you try to post it. You wouldn't turn in an unfinished homework assignment, so don't submit unfinished pages to our wiki.

Administrative Templates

The following templates are commonly used, and carry some important value: Removing any of these templates without fixing the identified issue can be grounds for immediate deletion of the page in question.
