OS Wiki Rules

This page is a list of rules, regulations, and guidelines for the Original Species Database Wiki.

No Pornography! No blatant nudity, genitalia, or nipples.

No Unauthorized Relatives! If you wish to create a fan species with a relation to someone else's species, you must gain permission from the creator. You can't simply just pretend to have permission, as one of the admins will ask the creator personally.

No Foul Language! No racial slurs, homophobic slurs, foul language, or any other bigotry/dickotry towards other wiki users. Racial, gender-centric, or homophobic slurs of any kind are bannable offenses.

No Established Species! No established species (i.e. don't make a page for an established, existing character like Lombax or Yoshi).

No Species Thievery! No stealing credit for another user's species.

No Species Vandalism! No editing or deleting another user's species pages without their express permission.

No Editing of Categories! No creating, editing, or deleting new category or template pages without express permission from one of the administrators.
 * However, administrators may edit any page without permission, but only for grammatical/formatting corrections. Administrators may not actually change article content without creator permission.

No Late Unfinished Pages! If your page remains in the "In development" category for over twenty days, it will be removed from the wiki. If you know that you will be unable to finish your page within this period of time for any reason, please let one of the administrators know.
 * If your page is deleted and you wish to continue working on it, please ask one of these administrators and we will return the page to its former version.

No Non-Species Pages! We do not accept articles on individual characters; this wikia is for species only. This also goes for pages based on objects, locations, or universes.
 * For individual characters, see our OC Database Wiki here.

No Unwanted Images! Do not upload images to any pages that are not your own unless you receive permission from the page's author.

No Mean Parodies of Other Users! Articles that are negative, satirical fictional versions of other users are not allowed.

No Spamming! No Spamming. Spamming is the act of rapidly posting bare-bones pages or comments. Spamming will result in your account being temporarily banned.

No Drama! Do not troll or start pointless drama just for the sake of it. If there is a beef between users, alert an administrator.
