Smash Hit Wiki:Rules


 * The rules were last updated on March 20th, 2021. Please suggest changes on the community discussion or in a blog post.

This page covers the rules of the and links to other help articles about blocks, foreign languages and other Smash Hit Wiki policies. You should read this page before contributing to this wiki.

List of Rules for Editors

 * Updates and Changes: The rules can change at any time. Sometimes, we may use the announcements feature to inform you of a change to the rules, especially if they are major.
 * Benefit the Wiki: Make sure that your contributions are making the wiki and community a better place to be.
 * Excess Pages: Do not make pages that would be considered excess. For example, page about a door in a specific level, or a certain type of the same glass bar obstacle, is probably not needed.
 * Persuasive Content: Pages that convey opinions or personal thoughts about a certain subject of Smash Hit by one user will be moved to a user blog.
 * Vandalism and Spam: Do not vandalise, intentionally post facts that are not true, or spam pages and comments.
 * Fanon: Do not create any new fan pages here; instead, create them on the fanon wiki.
 * Content that is due to be moved to the fan wiki can sometimes have this template, Fanon. It looks like:


 * Want to see your deleted page there? Search it up on the fanon wiki. (You can also ask an admin on their Message Wall for a review of your fanon page. Give a link to the deleted page.)
 * There are still rules there. It's not a dumping ground for deleted content!
 * Harassment and Bullying: Do not repeatedly harass, bully, tease or be rude or mean to other (helpful) users.
 * Irrelevant Content: Content that doesn't come from Smash Hit should not be added to this wiki.
 * Languages other than English (which may be referred to as Foreign Languages) are not read by all members of the community, and will be translated unless there is an actual reason to have a foreign language.
 * If you want to set up a foreign-language Smash Hit Wiki, see Smash Hit Wiki:Foreign Languages for some advice.
 * Any type of English is allowed. (e.g. Australian, British, United States, South African, Irish.)
 * Try to avoid mixing conflicting English rules in the same article. For example, don't spell colo(u)r different ways in the same article.
 * Trolling: Trolling, such as Rickrolling, is considered annoying, and it is not allowed on this wiki.Some exceptions, such as April Fools' Day, may apply for this point.
 * Edit Wars: Raiding and Edit Warring (e.g. as seen in the 72.211.221.109 Edit War) is banned on this wiki.
 * Keep Good Formatting: Keep the formatting of articles reasonable and readable. For example, don't unnesecarily bold text, add unnecessary words or sections that were previously mentioned, create too many headers (Page organisation is good, but don't overdo the headings.) or add too many images (if deemed excessive. Exceptions may apply, e.g. in long or notable checkpoints.), or use messy grammar. We don't want to confuse readers.
 * Simply put, be concise. This reduces the amount of unneeded wikitext, page division and sentences, clarifying the page for our wiki's readers.
 * Smash Hit is sometimes sometimes be stylised as smAsh HIT (using camelCase: 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]]
 * Jokes: Joking isn't allowed, as this can be annoying to someone. We will delete your joke if we will notice that and we will give you a warning.
 * Cancer jokes are also not allowed. Joking about Cancer is prohibited as it's a deadly disease. And we as a staff in Smash Hit Wiki, we want to respect people that have Cancer, because they may die from it. If we see text like (taken from common spam examples from when the wiki's past), then it will be deleted immediately, and we will also block you for joking about deadly disease, as this can disrespect people with Cancer. The same also goes with Coronavirus jokes.To see the covered text, highlight it. See Censored:

Expectations for Admins
This section is here for reference, so that you know what is expected of admins. Not everything is listed here.


 * Benefit the Wiki: Just like for editors, try to make a positive difference in the way that the Smash Hit Wiki works. The only difference between an admin and an editor is that one has access to extra tools to do their job.
 * Assume Good Faith: Admins should not immediately jump to the conclusion that a user would wish to do harm to the Smash Hit Wiki because of any single condition.
 * Listen to Users: Try to listen to the users and would they would like for the wiki. It is not a requirement to do as they say, but to listen to their good ideas will certainly help make the wiki better.
 * Respect Fandom Policy: Starting April 1st, there is a new, global policy designed to protect users from abusive admins. Remember that this policy exists and that adminship can be revoked.
 * Be an Active Part of the Community: Try to be active within the community and contribute to the wiki when not working with admin-related decisions.
