Smash Hit Wiki:Rules

Rules
''The rules were last updated on October 3rd, 2020. Please suggest changes on the community discussion, the article's talk page or in a blog post.''
 * 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.
 * Benefit the Wiki: Make sure that your contributions are making the wiki and community better.
 * Excess Pages: Do not make pages that would be considered excess.
 * Pages for very small things (for example, in-game door buttons) aren't very useful and will most likely be deleted or merged and subsequently redirected.
 * Individual types of the same obstacle (for example, horizontal glass bars are one of many glass bars, so it doesn't need its own page) are also not useful, as are unnecessary categories or appearances (which are already listed) Examples can be seen in Emir Mert Kaydu's contributions.
 * 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. Pages that cover a general option may be allowed so long as they maintain a neutral point of view.
 * Vandalism and Spam: Do not vandalize, 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.
 * There are still rules there. It's not a dumping ground for deleted content!
 * Content that is due to be moved to the fan wiki can sometimes have the Fanon template.
 * 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.)


 * Harassment and Bullying: Do not repeatedly harass, bully, tease or be rude or mean to other (helpful) users.
 * You can vent your anger at bad users, e.g. 72.211.221.109 for his Edit War, so long as they do not go too far.
 * See the block list for other users (preferably those infinitely blocked) for more options.
 * They will have the Blocked or BlockedForever templates on their user pages.
 * A list of users is also provided at Wiki Vandals.
 * 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 hard to read, and will promptly be translated, unless it is on version 1.0.1, which added those languages. See Foreign Languages for more information on how to set up foreign-language wikis.
 * Any type of English is allowed. (Australian, British, United States, South African, Irish.)
 * Try to avoid mixing conflicting English rules in the same article (For example, don't spell color/colour different ways in the same article).
 * The preferred format is formal English with correct spelling and grammar. (However, it does not always have to be that way.)
 * Talking between users does not have to be in English, though a translation to English may be provided by an admin for other users' convenience.
 * Trolling: Trolling, such as Rickrolling, is considered annoying, and it is not allowed on this wiki.
 * An exception is made if the trolling is deemed fitting due to timing (i.e. on days like April Fools' Day).
 * Edit Wars: Raiding and Edit Warring (as seen in the 72.211.221.109 Edit War) is banned on this wiki.
 * Usernames: Do NOT have an unacceptable username in your FANDOM account. This will result in a block until the issue is resolved. You can change the FANDOM account's username here, but remember: This only can be done once, so we recommend to set a friendly username.
 * Alternatively, create a new account, and have a friendly username, if it's been changed already (or you don't want to change.). State that you are editing from this account.
 * Keep Good Formatting: Keep the formatting of articles reasonable and readable. For example, don't unnesecarily bold text, add unnessecary words or sections that were previously mentioned, or create too many headers. (Page organisation is good, but don't overdo the headings.) Also, don't use messy grammar, as it confuses readers.
 * Simply put, be concise. This reduces the amount of unneeded wikitext, page division and sentences, clarifying the page for our wiki's readers.

Account creation
If you are doing good contributions here, but you don't have a FANDOM account, then you can create it here. An account has benefits, for example:


 * Sock puppet brandon.jpgg the communication with our Wiki Staff much easier.


 * Earning badges for doing more good contribs.


 * Making you a staff by giving you and if you do many good contributions for very long.
 * However, here are some warning that you may want to consider:
 * Do not make sockpuppet accounts to evade blocks. You will be autoblocked (your computer's IP blocked) after you create a sockpuppet account and edit with a similar style to a blocked user. See Help:Sockpuppet to learn more. (Simply, if we see a similar editing style from a non-blocked alternate account, we will assume that is you (editing alternatively) and block you. This will happen every time we see a similar editing style of a blocked user being used, such as Emir Mert Kaydu (sometimes referred to as EMK) sockpuppets.)
 * Remember to read FANDOM's Terms of Use before account registration. Reading the Terms of Use will help you understand what not to do in FANDOM. Complying with it is a good idea. See Help:Create an account to learn more.
 * Users who want to register the FANDOM account must meet the minimum age requirements. If you are living in the USA or other counties using US law, then you have to be 13 years old. If you are underage, then you are unable to create an account because of COPPA law, but you can still edit here without an account as we allow that here and on other Smash Hit wikis. Hovewer, if you live in California or in the Europe's EEA areas, then the minimum age requirement for FANDOM is 16. So if you are 13 already, then you still cannot register the account there in those areas.
 * If we see an underage user, a block will be applied on the account, until the 13th or 16th birthday (depending where you live), based off your masthead, or if you state that you're not a 13 or 16 year old. To edit, simply sign out and edit anonymously. Autoblock is disabled for blocking of underage users.
 * Do not create accounts to impersonate our staff or other Smash Hit Wiki contributors. You will be immediately blocked Smash Hit Wiki-wide, no matter what your contributions are whether good or bad, as impersonating someone is against FANDOM ToU. But, you can have a chance to change the username. We will force you to do it. If you will reject doing that (or reject switching to a new account), we will take further actions on you by reporting you to the FANDOM staff. Also, in your userpage, we will also add the Imposter template on your userpage, which looks like this:

Other Notes

 * 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]]

They are unacceptable in this Wiki because:
 * Do NOT use an unacceptable profile picture in your FANDOM account. This will also result in a permanent block.
 * 1) These profile pictures are nonsense.
 * 2) They are irrelevant, or associated with spammers.
 * 3) They try to offend our Wiki Staff on purpose.

Solutions

 * To get around the block, change the picture to something else, such as default FANDOM pictures or other content that does not concern the second condition (e.g. ). The block will then be lifted.
 * If you only edit on Mediocre AB game wikis, or are a fan of Mediocre AB games, then a picture from Smash Hit or other Mediocre AB games is a good place to start.
 * Admins can decide what content is appropriate for other profiles. (Admins, for example NewBartoszx1, are exempt from this rule concerning profile pictures.)

 * have unacceptable usernames or profile pictures,
