Fillmore!:The Rules
From Fillmore
Revision as of 21:12, 4 May 2008
Welcome
Welcome to Fillmore!, the ultimate Fillmore! reference. This is a place where you can edit and create pages having to do with Fillmore!. Excited? Want to start editing? Before you do, read the below rules.
Getting Started
Before you start editing, create an account. This will confirm you as a Safety Patroller. Then go about to create a userpage describing yourself, your interests, or other things you want to put down. Then, start editing by reading the editing guidelines below.
How to Write a Page
To bold, italicize, or bold-italicize words in your article, do this:
- ''italics'' appears as italics. (2 apostrophes on either side)
- '''bold''' appears as bold. (3 apostrophes on either side)
- '''''bolded italics''''' appears as bolded italics.
You always have to bold the subject the first time you mention it in the article. For example: "Fillmore is a Safety Patroller."
To insert a picture, sign in, upload it (found in the toolbox section below the search field), then insert it like this:
- [[Image:Example.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Description.]]
This means that Example.jpg will appear as 200px big, a thumbnail, on the right side, and have "Description" typed in its description. Get it? Hopefully. If not, simply contact the Administrator.
You also should learn headings. This is a large heading:
- ==Large Heading==
This is a smaller heading:
- ===Smaller Heading===
Linking
Links jump you from one page to another instantly. For example: Cornelius Fillmore.
To create a link, do this:
- [[Cornelius Fillmore]] appears as Cornelius Fillmore.
To create a link with an alternate appearance, do this:
- [[Cornelius Fillmore|Fillmore]] appears as Fillmore.
Pages should only be linked to once on a page (unless it is an extensive page). Do not do the following:
- Fillmore is the main character. When in action, Fillmore, will attempt to capture the suspect at all costs. Fillmore normally always catches the enemy.
Once per page is enough! And even if they are not links, it is grammatically correct to use pronouns.
When changing a link title from singular form to plural form, simply do this:
- [[Ingrid Third]]'s appears as Ingrid Third's.
Do not do this:
- [[Third|Ingrid]] appears as Ingrid.
However, changing plural to singular requires you to do this:
- [[Ingrid Third|Third]] appears as Third. (This issue is mostly resolved by redirect pages.)
Style of Writing
Write all articles in past tense. All articles are to be in no POV form, which means they are not to be influenced by a user's personal opinion and should convey objective truths. This is especially important as not following it will disrupt the reputation of Fillmore!.
Also, all things are to be canon, that is, to be directly shown in the show. When something is speculation, it must be stated as so and must be based on hints given by the show (or what the user thinks is a hint, at least). No fanon is to be put on Fillmore at all. This is a serious violation and will damage Fillmore's reputation and your own.
Alright, you know everything. Start writing! If you want to really become a Lyokon, see other things you can do for Fillmore! below.
Please Edit This Site, Not Others!
Remember, this Fillmore! website is better than all others! Don't contribute to other sites just because they seem bigger, especially Wikipedia. As a matter of fact, Wikipedia is probably our worst enemy.
Forbidden Acts
There are various things you cannot do to be a member of this wiki:
- You cannot put false information purposefully on pages. Punishment: Other users will correct you.
- You may not flame members (putting up hate statements, "yelling" at them, etc.). Punishment: Warning, banishment for a day or more.
- You cannot vandalize any pages. Punishment: Banishment for a day.
- No profanity is to be used whatsoever, as this is a wiki about a kid's show. Punishment: First time/Borderline offenders shall be warned. Repeat/Extreme offenders shall be banned for a varying period of time depending upon the offense.
- You absolutely CANNOT delete the rules or attempt to destroy the wiki! Punishment: Banishment for six months.
- You cannot create another Fillmore! wiki if you are a user of this website! Punishment: Banishment for infinite time.
- You cannot repeatedly and purposefully vandalize or put incorrect information on pages. Punishment: Banishment for infinite time. THIS IS THE ULTIMATE OFFENSE AS IT DIRECTLY ATTACKS THE PURPOSE FOR THIS WIKI, which is to provide and accurate and safe archive of Code Lyoko information.
Rights
- You have the right to critique others in a nice way.
- You can put up links to non Fillmore! things on your User page, as long as they are not links to any site that contains profanity, adult content, drug references, or anything that a young child should not be exposed to.
- You can reference to the suggestion board.
- You may upload a maximum of three (3) personal images. This is not an image hosting site. These images may not contain profanity, adult content, drug references, or anything that a young child should not be exposed to.
- You can ask the Admin or the Profilers if you have any questions.
- We are a Kritarchy/Meritocracy/Oligarchy/Republic (tring to fond a gov that fits) if you do not know what that means look it up
Things to keep in mind
- If your edits are reverted, it is probably for a good reason. If you wish to challenge the revert, ask the user politely why they reverted the edit.
- Please no excessive "Leet" or chatspeak on userpages or talkpages. The occasional "lol" is fine, but large amounts will be removed.
- Just because you put it on a page or uploaded it doesn't mean it's superior to others' contributions. Do not submit lower-quality information just so you can have your name on it.
- The Guardians do not hate you. They will revert your edit if they consider it offensive or unproductive. However, if you go out of your way to criticize or annoy them or other users, you will be warned.
