Please follow these rules when editing or creating articles. Our Wiki Staff have the final say in punishments. You may be blocked for something that is not on the list, but is sufficient to warrant such actions. Loopholing any rules will result in a punishment too.
Note: We have specific guidelines for discussions, you can view those here. The punishments listed may be extended depending on the case.
For clarity, rules are currently in snyc across all the ArenaDev Interwikis, like the The Hybrid Cafe Wiki and the Arena Ballistic Wiki.
1) No Underage Users
Case-by-case basis
Please follow all terms of use and guidelines of the wikis respective platforms - such as Miraheze or Fandom policies.
2) No vandalism
2 weeks block
Do not vandalise the wiki. Vandalising includes adding unnecessary song lyrics, posting overly large images or adding falsified information. This can include jokes, or a fake statistic. If you wish to suggest, discuss it instead. If it is obvious that it is vandalism, a block will be issued.
3) No Spamming
3 days block
Examples of spamming include flooding articles or discussions, sending the same message over and over again, or re-uploading files multiple times. Encouraging people to spam is not allowed - this will warrant a warn, that is shorter. Repeats of this action can lead to a warn or a temporary ban.
4) Follow the guidelines
3 day block
When editing, please follow the Project:Style Guide. Examples include using British English over American English, or using the correct terms. These Guidelines help make our wiki readable and accessible, while allowing anyone to contribute.
5) Accuracy
Case-by-case basis
When editing, please maintain a Neutral point-of-view (NPOV) and ensure that all the articles come from verified sources. A 'NPOV' means that content is written objectively and without bias, merely presenting the facts and notable viewpoints of others. no articles should contain not contain articles that favour particular viewpoints. Striving for a neutral point-of-view helps prevent articles from becoming viewpoints and personal talk pages.
Also ensure that articles should contain only material that has been published by reliable sources, such as the developers. For example, no self made lore on the site, with the exception of discussion pages/profiles. Verified sources include but are not limited to the Ballistic Wiki, the ArenaDev Discord Server, and the Roblox website. When editing, you should provide citations as far as possible.
You are also NOT to use any source of artificial intelligence program such as ChatGPT, Bing AI, Google Bard or Midjourney unless prior permission has been obtained. Such content is prohibited on the wiki as it might constitute as plagarism in the form of images, or may be inaccurate when consulting text based AI.
6) Be Civil
Case-by-case basis
Being civil entails remaining polite and assuming good faith when interacting with others, and focusing on the content of edits rather than on personal issues. In its essence, participate in a respectful and considerate way, without ignoring the positions and conclusions of others. If you are caught up in any arguments, please try not to escalate it - and if necessary staff are always here to help.
You should not use slurs, and keep swearing to a minimum - so as to respect others.
