This page contains community rules for the Eiyuden Chronicle Wiki. Infringing upon any of these rules will result in either a warning or a temporary/permanent ban, depending on the circumstances.

Community guidelines

Personal attacks

Users should never personally attack other members of the wiki community on any part of the site. Comments should focus on the content, not the person.

Edits and consensus

While contributing to the wiki, it is possible that a user may disagree with how the information on a certain page is presented. It is expected that the two users will reach a consensus when they are in disagreement by using a talk page rather than constantly editing and/or reverting changes.

Assume good faith

If a wiki editor makes a mistake due to human error, the fact that they are new to the community, or any other honest reason, fellow wiki community members must assume good faith. Rather than insulting, berating, or lashing out at the editor, community members should approach situations like these with a helpful and understanding attitude.

Vandalism

Vandalism of the Eiyuden Chronicle Wiki including intentionally adding, removing, or changing content to the wiki in order to compromise the integrity of the site. It is strictly prohibited.

Examples of vandalism include but are not limited to:

  • Inserting nonsense, gibberish, or deliberately misleading information into page content.
  • Uploading offensive or irrelevant images.
  • Blanking page content.
  • Spamming links to external sites unrelated to the content of the Eiyuden Chronicle Wiki.

Talk pages

  • When making comments or asking questions on a talk page, be sure to sign the end with four tildes (~~~~).
  • Always remain civil during discussions.
  • An article's talk page is intended for discussion or questions regarding the article's content. It is not a forum for casual discussion. Eiyuden Chronicle has a presence on several social media sites and apps for fandom discussion.

Sockpuppets

Registered users are expected to use a single account for all editing under most circumstances.

A second account can be used in certain rare circumstances by longtime established, trusted users. Some valid reasons to use a second account may include:

  • Technical testing
  • Bot (automated) accounts
  • Administrators who want to use non-admin accounts in less secure editing situations.

In those cases, it must be made absolutely clear that the accounts are operated by the same individual.

Individuals found to be operating multiple accounts, in an ongoing manner, for the purposes of mimicking different personas or the like, will have all of their associated accounts permanently banned.

The use of a registered account and an anonymous IP address (editing while logged out) may also be considered bannable sockpuppeting behavior, if this appears to be a deliberate attempt to fool others or circumvent rules. Occasional anonymous edits performed by an individual with a registered account, but with no ulterior motive, are not a problem.

Files

All the uploaded files on the wiki shall respect the following rules:

  • They must be related to Eiyuden Chronicle and/or might have a purpose on an article
    • If not, they shall be used on user pages

Any file not respecting these rules might be deleted without any notice and abusing the system might result in a block.
