RWBY Wiki:Editing Policies

The following states the rules which are to be adhered to editing pages on the RWBY Wikia. If you have any questions, suggestions or comments, please contact one of the RWBYWikia staff.

Bureaucrats and Admins
Bureaucrats and Admins reserve the right to block who does not abide by the rules or if the Bureaucrat/Admin determines that the user may be harmful to the wiki in some way.

Please note that users of Chatmod and Rollback status do not have these rights.

Bureaucrats and Admins are asked to give fair warnings to users about their behavior when appropriate. They must explain to the user why they are being blocked prior to blocking them from the Wikia if warnings about the specific behavior have not already been given.

On the occasion that a user may think that the behavior of a Bureaucrat or Admin is inappropriate, please take screenshots showing the situation and contact another Bureaucrat or Admin for them to deal with. Possible Bureaucrat and Admin status abuses include, but are not limited to: If a Bureaucrat or Admin is determined to be abusing their powers, he/she must formally apologize to the user and in some cases, will be asked to step down from their status.
 * Blocking/Harassing a user for difference in opinion or beliefs
 * Blocking/Harassing a user for no reason
 * Blocking/Harassing a user due to a request
 * Unfairly threatening users about behavior/making unfair demands

Rules

 * 1. Images - The user must use high quality pictures that are in a .PNG format. Other formats will be deleted immediately. .JPG formats are only allowed when there is no other available in the situation.


 * 2. Speculation - Speculation is being kept to a bare minimum on certain articles. Speculation must be moved to the forums or blog posts.


 * 3. Spoilers - After the sponsor release of an episode and before the RoosterTeeth site user release, editing which contains the episode's content is forbidden to avoid spoiling other users. For more information about spoilers, see the Spoiler policies.


 * 4. Renaming - If the user wishes to rename an article, the user must inform a Bureaucrat or Admin, stating the reason why it should be renamed. Renaming an unofficial article is to be discussed.


 * 5. Character profile pictures - The user may not change profile pictures of character articles, as this may interfere with the CharMugs.


 * 6. References - If there has been any information revealed on the Internet, for example the RWBY Staff's Twitter accounts, please make a reference so we know it's a fact.
