Help:Rules

From EpicDuel Wiki

The following are the basic rules of the wiki. Be sure to read all the rules before editing pages. If your edit violates any of these rules, it may be deleted and a warning may be issued. All rules apply to every page.

Rules

Behavior

These are rules involving your behavior on the EpicDuel Wiki.

• Do not use any harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive language.
• Do not use language that needs to be decoded (-.. --- / -. --- - / -.. --- / - .... .. ... .-.-.-)
• Do not edit any clan page that you're not in without the permission of the clan's founder.
• Do not ban jump. (Using another account while banned or using a different IP address) Creating multiple accounts to evade a ban will result in a permanent ban of all involved accounts.
• Do not impersonate AE/ED Staff or Wiki Administrators. (You will be given one chance for a name change, if not replied within 3 days, you will be banned). If you are actually AE staff, please contact White Tiger (), Ashari (), The Doctor (), 8x () or Mecha Mario () on the AE Forums to confirm that you are an actual staff member.
• Do not hack member of the wiki or the wiki itself.
• Do not share your account. (This includes, but is not limited to, siblings, relatives, and close friends. Be sure to log off every time you're not by your computer.)

Vandalism

Vandalism of the wiki is not allowed and will result in an immediate block from further editing the wiki. Vandalism includes any of the following behavior:

• Blanking a page
• Inserting nonsense/gibberish or spam into pages

Editing Content

• Do not create pages with useless/little/no information. (No template, no information, no picture, etc..)
• Do not move pages unless it is necessary. (Moving "Bang gun" to "Bang Gun" is fine. Moving "Bang gun" to "User:Bang gun" is not.)
• Do not add irrelevant or obvious content to a page. (This includes things such as "this is a gun" or any subjective information, "this is the coolest weapon")
• Check your work! Do not post incorrect or unverified information on the wiki. If you continually post incorrect information, you may be warned.
• Avoid editing a page multiple times when you could actually do it in one edit to accumulate massive edits. This creates unnecessary copies of the page that have to be stored by the wiki.
• Do not post information on unreleased content. This includes information on any content that has not yet been seen or implemented in-game. Only official previews may be posted on the wiki. Any unreleased information posted will be deleted.
• Do not post information on staff armor or weapons. Any such information will be deleted.
