CountryHumans Wiki:Guidelines

 Official Rules of the CountryHumans Wiki
The rules will be acknowledged on this wiki at all costs. Not following them may result in warnings, punishments, bans, and restrictions. Anything that does not follow Miraheze's ToS and Code of Conduct will be punishable.

 Rules
Basic rules to follow, such as attitude towards others on the wiki.

 1. Respect
Be kind and respectful here, even though you might not get along with another user. It counts as even making fun of someone. This is needed in debates as well. While debates can be fun, it's not fun when you're insulting other people or things get heated or very political. It is best to talk to a power-user for help or mention them using @ if a conversation gets too intense.

Any form of harassment/discrimination here is prohibited. It will not be tolerated and can result in a block very quickly. This such as homophobia, racism and fascism.

 2. Keeping Things Appropriate
Keep everything SFW and appropriate since a lot of the wiki's users are minors and the wiki leans towards that demographic. Such as media, conversations and jokes/references. Basically; Don't post things here you wouldn't show your school teacher, parent or legal guardian and the such.

 3. Accounts
Sockpuppetry is also another offence which can get you into trouble here. This only applies if you've been blocked on this wiki on another account. If you make multiple accounts and use them to abuse the block system you will be permanently IP blocked on all accounts. This also counts as making alts to pretend to be completely different people (this does not include role-play accounts as long as it says the real user on their profile.)

 4. Vandalism
You can not vandalize on the wiki, which includes editing other peoples profiles without their permission, inserting false information/gibberish into pages.

 5. Controversial Topics
Controversial topics, such as ISIS should not be created since it is not a country. However to some degree, if we let a controversial country on the wiki, the information on it should be factual, not opinion-based, and not made up in a way it can offend someone.

This includes Reichtangle since it is a fictional country.

 Content Rules
Rules more based on the content on this wiki.

 1. Content
Please refrain from adding in fake/false information of the articles of the pages except on article trivias. Or insert your own headcanons into the history section. We also suggest to refrain from copy-pasting from Wikipedia and cite other sources than just Wikipedia.

 2. Shipping
Do not add shipping into the relationships of the pages. This wiki is mostly based on factual information, so most of the wiki will be neutral due to the fact that Countryhumans has no canonical information besides real country information. Adding in shipping onto articles may count as vandalism.

 3. OC Content
We do not allow Original Character pages as actual articles. The main reason being we prefer for all currently existing and disputed countries to be completed. Please consider putting original character content on a blog post or on the Countryhumans OCs wiki.

 4. Page Creation
Please do not make pages without a bureaucrats permission. The wiki has many underdeveloped pages and often when a page is made it gets neglected. To prevent the wiki clogging up with useless articles we suggest asking a bureaucrat first, Since we're mostly focusing on out uncompleted articles.

 Imagery
Rules-based on general media and social Follow the discussion guidelines, as listed here.

 1. Artist Credit
It is important that if you use images from other artists that you credit them, preferably asking permission before you use the image. Do not take credit for the art yourself because you will be granted a ban. We highly suggest making your own art!

Any Images with no credit on the File page will be deleted!

Do not just say "Unknown" or "Found on Pintrest/Google" since that doesn't count as credit.

 2. Posts
No spamming or trolling other people, no matter if it's in an article, an article's comments, someone's message wall or simply just a blog post.

Do not mini-mod. It is okay to undo vandalism and help out the admins, that is praised, but giving users warnings or threatening blocks is not your job and you will be warned. Mini-modding is considered trolling.

 3. Pictograms
Please don't make pictograms using the pictograms from the Polandball Wiki, Please ONLY use the base by StickManReally or else it won't look good. If you do use the pictogram, you earn a two-week block. And the program will be removed by staff from the wiki for copying off the other wiki.

You can make pictograms on piskelapp or any other pixel editing program, please also remember to credit StickManReally because he is the base owner. The image must be 16x16px, or it will not work. Import this: or  for the base of the pictogram. When you completed your pictogram, you can upload it to the site.
