OverSimplified Wiki:General Rules

These are the rules and guidelines of OverSimplifed Wiki.

Account rules

 * You must be 13 years of age or older to operate an account. Punishment: Block until 13th birthday
 * Also, please do not jokingly say you are underaged, as FANDOM staff may disable your account.
 * Your username, bio, and profile picture must comply with all the rules. Punishment: Block until the issues are fixed
 * You cannot use multiple accounts (also known as sockpuppets or Alts). Bots and test accounts are allowed, but they must be linked to the original account.  Punishment: (If blocked) Extension of block; (If not blocked) Warning(s).
 * Also, "good hand, bad hand" accounts (in which one account is for constructive editing and the other is for destructive editing) are not allowed. Punishment: Indefinite block (bad hand), one week block (good hand)
 * You cannot doxx. Doxxing is revealing your own personal information or others' personal information without their consent.  Punishment: Multiple warnings.

Rules about editing

 * You cannot vandalize. Vandalism is the deliberate, destructive, and unwanted changing of any part of this wiki.  Punishment: One (1) warning
 * Examples of vandalism include creating unnecessary pages, inappropriately reuploading images, maliciously renaming pages (also known as pagemove vandalism), or creating inappropriate categories.
 * You cannot edit other userpages (except your own), with the following exceptions:
 * The user gave you permission.
 * You are undoing vandalism.
 * You are removing anything that breaks the rules (such as inappropriate images).
 * Removing mainspace-only templates.
 * The userpage says it's free to edit.
 * Do not be a troll. Accounts whose only purpose or effect is destruction or disruption are not allowed.  Punishment: Indefinite block
 * Please do not put any false information in any pages.
 * You cannot edit war. Edit warring is repeatedly undoing one more other other user's edits. Undoing vandalism is allowed.  Punishment: (if it's not undoing vandalism) One warning
 * You cannot add fan-made or irrelevant information to articles. Punishment: One warning
 * While not being punishable, please use descriptive filenames. For example, don't use "ScreenShot Bandicam" or "BCCA401D-D7D6-469B-B8E8-9F6D2DC1B60C" as filenames.

Rules about behavior

 * Do not lie. Lying is a great way to lose trust in the community.
 * You cannot use heavy profanity, profane images, bigoted language and rhetoric, or slurs anywhere on this wiki. Light swear words, if used in context, are allowed (such as in transcripts).  Punishment: One warning
 * You cannot put NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content either.
 * You cannot be disrespectful to other users or groups. Please respect their opinion(s).  Punishment: One warning
 * You cannot spam. Spamming is multiple messages sent in a short period of time. Templates that are made to be excessively long will be deleted.  Punishment: One warning
 * You cannot advertise outside your personal space (such as blogs or userpages). Punishment: One warning
 * You cannot threaten the wiki or other users. Punishment: One warning
 * You cannot claim to be another user, also known as impersonating. Punishment: Indefinite block
 * Be nice to everyone!

Punishment style

 * Four warnings will result in a temporary block. Permanent blocks are reserved for vandalism-only accounts and sockpuppets of blocked users.

Page Format
When creating a page, please use this format-
 * Any templates like the stub template on the top (only when necessary)
 * The text should be on the left. (Please don't put it above the infobox)
 * Put the infobox on the right. (Select an infobox by clicking on the insert button and clicking on the infobox option)

Note
Before reading this, you should take a look at Fandom's community guidelines and what Fandom is not. All the rules and suggestions that can be found above apply to this wiki as well.

Users are expected to help contribute to the wiki in a somewhat formal manner. Since OverSimplified videos are generally filled with running jokes and are comedic in tone, some lightheartedness is allowed on this wiki. However, please understand that there is a line between fun and vandalism. Furthermore, articles should not be filled with non-canon fanon or nonsensical sentences, and doing so will result in a ban.

For new users, it's advised that you look over our other policies and guidelines to better understand how you can contribute to the wiki. They should all be linked in the guidance category, which can be found on the very bottom of the page in the category section or on the main page in the navigational box.

Hopefully, with everyone's help we can clean the wiki up and make it up-to-date. I thank you for your cooperation in advance.

Grammar
Because OverSimplified lives in the United States, we will use the American version of English. That is...
 * Double quotes, with single quotation marks used as quotes within quotes. For example, he said, "Dude, Uncool."
 * Periods and commas go inside the quotation marks. He said, "I'm here!"
 * Before words like "said" or "says," put a comma after the word (see the above examples).
 * Use American variants of spelling. For example, use "color" instead of "colour."
