Revision as of 03:18, 2 June 2010
This page briefly describes a few general rules and may require some more additions.
This wiki is moderated - so you can be as creative as you want, but remember that we have guidelines. Pages filled with made-up stuff are fine but that nonsense should not extend to the actual structure or framework of this wiki.
This wiki is entirely moderated and pages/other things that are not up to snuff will be deleted. Don't upload porn, either. This wiki is in English, so please write using proper, semi-formal English. If English is not your first language or you just aren't very good at it for whatever reason, your pages might be incomprehensible.
It is the intention of the administrators that this wiki's usefulness should be equal to its comedic/artistic value, so please respect your fellow editors.
If you're too lazy to read through all of this, just check Chewiki:Policy.
Regular Users Can
- Create a page and write stuff in it
- Completely make up some content of a page (However, do not create articles about characters/sources that you have created.)
- Upload and post images
- Edit an existing page - please add to a page and only completely overhaul an old one if it was low-quality.
Regular Users Cannot
- Delete a page
- Edit a protected page
- Use code on page to suggest that a template has been used
Other Guidelines
Notable Poops
It is often unnecessary to create articles about specific poops, and it is far better just to supply a YouTube link to the poop itself on a different page. If it is an extremely notable poop that deserves its own page (for milestones such as more than a million views or referenced as being highly influential by many), please start the entry with this code:
{{poop}}
Redirects
Making redirects are fine, such as poopers with alternate names (for instance, "SkyGuy16" and "Triple_sSs" can redirect to "SkyGuy16 (Triple sSs)" because those are his online names), characters with nicknames (but this should be done rarely), or alternate spellings (Tom and Jerry/Tom & Jerry). Do NOT create a redirect if you made a typo when spelling a link. This just clogs the indexes with misspellings and is pretty lazy, so just fix it yourself.
Sources
When making articles for sources, make sure they are not biased, and include as much relevant information as popular. If the "Used in poop by" is blank, what the hell is it doing here? A good source page should have every or nearly all sections filled.
Go to this page for an idea of how to make a source page.
Poopers
Pooper pages can be personal, but not too personal. This is not Myspace or Facebook, so make sure most information is relevant to poop. Real-life stuff can go in the notes. Humour is appreciated, but remember to use proper English. When making an article for another pooper, make sure you know enough about them to make a full page.
Go here for the layout of what a pooper page should be like.
Characters
Please read this page for guidelines with character pages. If you're making an article for a political figure, check here.
Templates
Templates are easy to use, but not as easy to make. Remember, only make templates if they will benefit us. If they are useless, there's no point in putting a lot of effort into them. It's best to discuss a potentially-controversial template before creating it.
Here is a list of all templates that are currently active, and an explanation of what they do. Check there to see if your idea has been taken.
