===Usernames=== | ===Usernames=== | ||
Usernames should not contain profanity, cannot contain any hate speech, and cannot direct a personal attack against any existing user. If there is a problem with your username, you will be asked to choose a new one. | Usernames should not contain profanity, cannot contain any hate speech, and cannot direct a personal attack against any existing user.

===False or Nonsensical Information=== | ===False or Nonsensical Information=== | ||
"Contributions" that harm Zelda Dungeon Wiki's quality or reputation are not welcome. In cases of honest mistakes, we will try our best to help users get more comfortable editing the wiki. However, users who continue to add false or nonsensical information after receiving a warning on their talk page may need a '''one week ban''' to encourage them to put extra thought into how they are contributing. | |||
===Unjustified Removal of Content=== | ===Unjustified Removal of Content=== | ||
In a similar vein to the above, content on the wiki represents the contribution of our community and is not to be removed without good reason. When removing content, please note why in the "Summary" field. Content that doesn't meet quality standards should be improved, not removed. Users who remove significant amounts of content will receive an inquiry on their talk page. If no adequate explanation is given and the behavior continues, the user will receive a '''two week ban'''. | |||
===Intentional Vandalism=== | ===Intentional Vandalism=== | ||
Making edits with intent of disruption will result in an '''immediate one month ban'''. No warning will be given. | |||
===Intimidating Behavior/Harassment=== | ===Intimidating Behavior/Harassment=== | ||
Interaction among contributors is expected, and with this comes the possibility of conflict. Users who attempt in any way to make another user feel uncomfortable will be asked to stop. If this behavior continues, the user will be '''banned for one month'''. We do encourage constructive criticism, but please make sure it comes across as helpful advice and not ridicule. | |||
===Multiple Accounts=== | ===Multiple Accounts=== | ||
Each user is asked to register no more than one account. If you are found to be using multiple accounts, you will be asked which one should be '''permanently banned'''. If you continue to use one of them without responding to this request, the one you are not using will be banned. If you continue to use both of them after the request, then either one will be banned, at the patroller's discretion. | Each user is asked to register no more than one account.

If you continue to use both of them after the request, then either one will be banned, at the patroller's discretion. | ||
If one of these accounts is already banned (i.e. the second account is subverting the ban), then the second account will be '''permanently banned''', and the currently banned account will have its remaining ban time '''doubled''' (rounded down to the nearest ban time denomination). | If one of these accounts is already banned (i.e. the second account is subverting the ban), then the second account will be '''permanently banned''', and the currently banned account will have its remaining ban time '''doubled''' (rounded down to the nearest ban time denomination). | ||
If a third account is created after the second is dealt with (this does not apply if three or more accounts are created before any of them are discovered), then, in additional to permanent bans on all alternate accounts, the user's main account will also get a '''three month''' ban. | |||

If this privilege is abused, then your talk page will also be blocked, and time may be added to your ban if the abuse breaks one of the rules defined above. | If this privilege is abused, then your talk page will also be blocked, and time may be added to your ban if the abuse breaks one of the rules defined above. | ||
