User blog:Knot126/Changes to Rules as of March 9, 2020

We have refactored and changed our rules. You are encouraged to read over them so you understand what you can and cannot do on the Smash Hit Wiki. The rules page is appended to this blog post.

=Rules Page= The rules were last updated on March 9, 2020.
 * Rules can change at any time. Sometimes, we may use the announcements feature to inform you of a change to the rules.
 * Keep helping this wiki!
 * Pages for very small things (for example, in-game door buttons) aren't very useful and will most likely be deleted or redirected.
 * Individual types of the same obstacle (e.g. horizontal glass bar is one of many glass bars and doesn't need its own page) are also not useful, as are unnecessary categories or appearances (which are already listed).
 * Do NOT vandalize pages, post spam, or intentionally post facts that are not true. We will block you if you do.
 * Do NOT put rude or irrelevant comments on the talk pages.
 * Smash Hit is sometimes sometimes be stylised as smAsh HIT (look at the logo). This is not an error and should not be corrected, especially if it is referring to how the logo is formatted.Smash-hit-logo.png'' 's logo]]
 * Do NOT create any new fan pages here. Instead, create them on the fanon wiki.
 * Do NOT repeatedly harass, bully, "make fun of," and/or be rude or mean to any users, including yourself. You will be blocked.
 * Content that didn't come from Smash Hit (for example, B.F.D.I (Battle For Dream Island) and My Little Pony) is not allowed on this wiki.
 * Languages other than English (which my be referred to as Foreign Languages) are hard to read, and will promptly be translated. See Foreign Languages for more information on how to set up foreign-language wikis.
 * Any type of English is allowed. (Australian, British, United States, etc.)
 * '''Talking between users does not have to be in English, though a translation to English should be provided if requested by an admin.
 * Trolling (e.g. Rickrolling) is considered annoying to some people, and it is not allowed on this wiki unless deemed fitting due to the timing (i.e. on days like April Fools Day).'''

Report Rule Breaking
If you would like to report someone for breaking a rule, leave a comment on this page or (if the case needs immediate attention) on a helper's wall. Or, just report vandalism here.

Why do we need rules?
Wikis are for people to explore and learn, so it's important that make it clear what is and isn't allowed. We don't want to confuse somebody by having spam on the wiki, and we'd like to make it easy for new people to read, edit, and understand this wiki.

Can I post fan made content to this wiki?
If you want to make up content, please post it on the fanon wiki.
 * Additionally, please do not put any spam, even on the fanon wiki, because people want to see other's creations of the Smash Hit game.

A template may appear on fan pages, like this:

What is Spam?
Spam is sometimes a jumble of letters that make no sense. For example: But spam isn't just random jumbles of letters; it can be small, useless things like "Delete this" or inappropriate and unfit language for Smash Hit. Take these examples: That last one was taken from some spam that was previously seen on this wiki. It has now been deleted.
 * qwertyuiopqwertyuiopqwertyuiopqwertyuiopqwertyuiopqwertyuiopqwertyuiopqwertyuiop
 * (*$$6$&6&54&3$*=by/(/46*&&*6&5**36$ygdggrfvfrfgvg6*3$*6*6*62$*6wsgy*6ygugc6*
 * awfvyu sx ujsdf mjugtih hul15378356 cftr j;o ][\][\
 * "Delete this"
 * No u ____ a bee it's hip to insult someone?

If you'd like to add more examples, please feel free to do so...

Do I really have to read the whole rules page?
No, you don't have to read the whole page, but it is recommended.

Deletion Policy
Only pages that should be deleted (spam/fan-made checkpoints) should go here. Any pages that should be out of this category should have a request in its comments. Alternatively, message a helper. (Please include a link to the page.) Sometimes, a template can appear on the page, like this:

Reporting Content and Users
Depending on the situation, there are different things you can do to help us revert vandalism or report bad users.

Spam and Vandalism

 * If an entire page is spam, then you can help by adding the category Candidates for deletion, or adding the delete template.


 * If a page has been vandalized, then you can help by undoing the edit.
 * If a protected page, like a template page, has been vandalized and you are an anonymous user, then please report this to a content moderator, admin, or someone that is trusted and able to revert these changes.

Bad Users

 * Oooot5 was considered a bad user due to the fact that he was posting offensive messages on message walls (especially Commuter and Knot126), December 17 , 2019 was when he got blocked for a month.
 * 72.211.221.109 was constantly corrupting the wiki into toilet-related content (72.221.211.109 Edit War), and adding My Little Pony content, and fake stages of Checkpoint 4 with My Little Pony content. Now that the images are deleted, there is no chance for him to ever replace Checkpoint 1 or Checkpoint 2's gallery with Wiki logos and crying My Little Ponys.
 * Emir Mert Kaydu was constantly putting Turkish/poorly punctuated/vague words (link takes you to a old id) on the pages (mostly on Checkpoints)

Vandalism
Tell any wiki staff member. If you can tell an admin or someone with the ability to block bad users, then please do so.

Harassment and Bullying
Please tell Commuter or Knot126 immediately. (Anyone who is able to respond within 2 days.)

Alpha Plasma Pea might also be able to help.

Foreign Languages
If you do not write in English, then users may find it hard to read the text. If you can write in another language, then you can find or create a wiki for that language.

If you would like to create a new wiki for your language, or find one that may exist, click the Start a Wiki button. For the wiki name, type Smash Hit. For the URL, make sure the textbox says smashhit. Lastly, select a language. If it says "There’s already a wiki with this address. Start editing at smashhit.fandom.com/mylang/ or choose another address," then click the link and start editing there. If not, click NEXT and start setting up the new wiki.

I've been blocked!
If you were blocked, please check: If you would like to request an unblock, do so on your wall. If you have been blocked for abusive behavior or edit warring, or continuous spam (e.g. 72.211.221.109), then you probably won't be unblocked, even if it's your first block.
 * Your block reason. The person who blocked you will give you a short description of why you were blocked.
 * Your user wall. The blocking admin will likely have put a further explanation on your wall.

While you're blocked, remember these things:
 * Your first block will have the user wall open. Don't hesitate to ask questions.
 * You can still be a valuable contributor. Once you become unblocked, you have the chance to get a new start on this wiki if your background isn't great.
 * IPs you log on to will be blocked as well. This is an automatic feature of this wiki.

Staff
See Wiki Staff.

Can I be an admin?
We usually don't give out these permissions, but don't hesitate to ask a bureaucrat.

Is there a blocking policy?
There is no blocking policy since every situation is different and blocks need to be decided based on the circumstances.

Where can I put a page that got deleted?
If it is a fan page (not in the actual game), then it goes to the fanon wiki. If the page was very, very technical and wasn't seen as needed here, then it can go to the Smashing Tech wiki.
