User:Sik Dude/Rulebook

Hello. This is Sik Dude here to tell you about all the rules and guidelines to the 6teen Wiki. I hope you enjoy this rulebook and happily editing the 6teen Wiki.

Admins
There are 5 admins on the wiki, but 2 of them are active. Their names are Stephen"Zap", TDIFan13, Xydux, DoubleDeputy D, Lezowski and me, Sik Dude. TDIFan13 is the bureaucrat (aka highest authority figure) of the 6teen Wiki.

Admins' jobs
Our job on this wiki is to make new users feel welcome and have them enjoy a great experience editing this wiki. We also have the right to block users, protect pages, and delete unnecessary photos/content. Admins also have the right to warn other users if they keep doing things they're not supposed to be doing. All admins do these things to keep the wiki a safe and clean place for newcoming wiki editors.

Creating new pages
If you see a red link on any page, click to build one and add some sources related to the article. If there is an article not really 6teen-related or it contains speculation, it will be deleted automatically.

Reverting edits
If you see an edit with false info, simply go to the page's history, find the person who last edited it and click "Undo" and you'll go to the editor to fix that false info. Also, please state a reason why you're reverting it, as reverting an edit without a stating a good reason may cause problems.

Example: Undo revision number by   - .

To anyone, usually the admins, who has the ability to rollback: If a user adds false information more than once onto a single page, click on the  button and this will appear in the revision summary:

"Reverted edits by to last revision by "

Note: When clicking the "Rollback" button, all of the edits done by a single user will be reverted. If the information the user added is correct, please double check and make sure.

Edit wars
Just because one edit is poor in one way and the other is poor in a different way doesn't mean you could "ping-pong" back and forth with the revisions. All participating users in the war will be disciplined, and may be blocked depending on the severity of the issue. This doesn't apply if there is a vandal on the wiki repeatedly making false edits and other users reverting these edits. While the offending vandal will be blocked, the users who reverse the vandal's edits will not.

User page edits
Every user on a wiki has their own user page. It's their user page to edit, not yours. You got your own, so don't go on another user page and edit it, even if you do see minor mistakes. However, a user page can be edited if the user in question has been temporarily or permanently banned from the wiki, or if there is a broken link, in which the FANDOMBot will take care of.

If this rule is violated, all partaking users will get disciplinary actions. The first offense is a warning, the second offense is a block, and repeat offenses will lead to you being blocked for a month, and later indefinitely if your overall conduct hasn't changed.

Uploading a photo
If a link on the wiki leads to a nonexistent photo, click on it and you'll be asked to upload 6teen-related files. Images that are unrelated to 6teen or contain inappropriate (or NSFW, which stands for Not Safe For Work) content will be deleted and disciplinary action will be taken, with the latter offense being slightly more severe than the former.

For instance, a user uploads a picture of a 6teen reference in another TV show. This is allowed. Another instance is the user uploading a picture of a t-shirt, which has nothing to do with 6teen. The photo in question will be removed and the offending user warned.

For other reasons
If you're uploading photos from 6teen episodes for articles, that's a good idea. If you're using a photo to change your user picture, then that's okay, but uploading photos to decorate your userpage with is not allowed, and will therefore be deleted. If this is done again, the first offense will be a warning, the second offense will be a block that will cut off your privileges of uploading photos, and repeated offenses will lead to you being blocked for a month, and later you will be indefinitely blocked from the wiki.

Questions & Requests
Got a question? Ask away! We will soon respond to your questions and lend you a helping hand. Requests for this wiki must be 6teen-related only.

Harassment edits
Just because you dislike another user doesn't give you the right to take to their userpage and harass them. This is considered cyberbullying and all participating users who post harmful messages of any kind will be taken care of. It isn't fair to the admins, or other users on this wiki, to get them involved into any kind of vendetta you have against someone.

Spam edits
Do not go on any user's talk page posting pointless content. If you don't have anything to say, then click the back button on your browser. Silence is a virtue.

Stuff you don't want to hear from others
You don't just tell others to leave you alone just because you don't want to hear something that happened to you in the past. You did it to yourself, and you therefore have to suffer the consequences.

User blocks
Admins have the right to block certain users for not helping out on the 6teen wiki. They also have the right to set the length of the ban. When you're blocked, you can't do anything until it expires. At times, admins may also issue indefinite bans for users. When you're blocked indefinitely, you're not allowed back on the wiki anymore. In the event you are blocked, you may appeal your block by putting  between two left brackets and two right brackets. If you did it correctly, you should see:

If your block appeal is accepted, you are back on the wiki, but with a warning. If it's declined, you will stay blocked until the admins can reach a conclusion. Here are two examples of said templates:

This is an example of what an accepted unblock template would look like. Now, here's what a declined unblock template would look like.

To the admins: You should place these templates when you are debating about a user's block. If you agree, put:. If you disagree, put:.

Note to admins: If you intend on blocking a user indefinitely, do not set the ban length for more than 20 years. If done so, a warning will be issued, and if this continues, you may be demoted.

Reasons for blocks

 * Continuous vandalism.
 * Bad language
 * Harassment of others
 * Spamming
 * Posting content unrelated to 6teen wiki
 * Unacceptable usernames (The name of the user contains a bad word in it)
 * Ignoring warnings
 * Deleting content on someone's page that doesn't belong to you.
 * Inserting nonsense and gibberish into pages.
 * False reporting other users and sending admins on a wild goose chase.
 * Removing a large chunk of text from an article, and replace it with gibberish text.
 * Continuously adding speculation into articles.
 * Creating pages that have nothing to do with the 6teen Wiki constantly.
 * Continuously creating accounts when a password is lost to the user's main account.
 * Unacceptable behavior overall.

Block system
Users do not start off with warnings. However, if an action continues and the user won't stop, then a user is issued a warning. At times, a three-strike warning can be issued. Why? You know the old saying; "Three strikes, you're out!"

Blog posts
Blog posts is where you can post about what's going on in your daily life or stuff unrelated to 6teen. Please do not spam your blog posts. Failure to abide by this rule will result in a warning, and possibly, a block.
