Splatoon Wiki

This is the Help and Rules page. Please follow these rules, or we admins may have to take action against you!

If you need help with anything, contact an active admin here, or contact our Wiki Representative or check the help pages.

Note

  • You are responsible for all actions that your account takes. If your account activity results in a ban, excuses such as "My little sibling got on my computer and did stuff," or "My friend was dared to use my account for shenanigans," are not going to overturn your ban.
    • There is, of course, an exception if you are hacked. If you believe that you were hacked, contact Fandom support via Special:Contact and have them report the results to us.

General policies

Articles and content

  • Write content in the third person. Don't refer to the writer (I, me, etc.), or reader (you, etc.) of an article.
    • Walkthroughs are an exception to this due to their purpose of directly guiding the reader.
  • Leave an edit summary if it isn't clear what you're doing. This helps us moderate wiki activity and prevents misunderstandings!
  • No plagiarism! Don’t directly steal text from other wikis.
  • Do not vandalize pages. Not only is this an incredibly easy thing to undo, but it can also result in your account or IP address being blocked from editing.
    • This includes, but is not limited to, posting gibberish, random letters, comments that have nothing to do with the topic that is being commented on, chain messages, and huge blocks of text.
  • Do not edit other users' profiles.
  • Do not advertise.
  • Do not feed the trolls, report them immediately. Interacting with trolls only encourages them.
  • No explicit sexual material or gore.
  • Use of hate/terrorist group language and imagery will not be tolerated.
  • No alt/sock puppet accounts are allowed and should be reported immediately.
  • Non-admin users should not give warnings to other users. Friendly advice and tips are one thing, but only admins will give out warnings.
  • Grammar and spelling are important and should not be ignored.
  • Accuracy is necessary, but don't over-explain anything: be right, and concise.
  • Avoid spamming edits for badges when they are active. Working toward an achievement is fine but making pointless edits for them is not.
  • Try to edit efficiently, taking care of as many problems as you can fix in a single edit.
  • Use North American names where different from other versions. Use the exact naming in the game.
  • Do not use Zalgo text or other "corrupted" texts.
  • Users found to be "warring" with other wikis (such as trolling, spamming, or vandalizing them) in the name of this wiki will be given less leniency depending on the severity of their behavior. In such instances, the minimum punishment for this kind of behavior will be a one-week ban.

Community and behavior

  • Be nice. Don't flame, troll, or harass other users. Treat others how they would want to be treated.
  • Don't necropost! Be sure to check the timestamps of any comments you're replying to. If the comment is more than a few weeks old, you shouldn't reply. This is annoying, unnecessary, and has the chance of restarting conflict.
  • Don't start drama, and don't import drama from other communities. Aim to sort things out as calmly as possible.
  • No excessive swearing.
    • The use of racial, homophobic and sexist slurs will not be tolerated.
  • No exploiting any loopholes you found in the rules. You know what we meant!
  • Try to have fun as part of the community! After all, we're all here because we enjoy the Splatoon series.

Staff Roles

  • Please look here.
  • Even if you meet all requirements, we may not be looking for more staff members. Be patient!

Personal information

Personal information is any information that can be used to identify you or where you live. the Splatoon Wiki holds privacy in high regard, and we do not allow you to share personal information. If you see any personal information being shared, please notify an administrator immediately.

Consequences of revealing personal information

Administrators have the right to block any user for any amount of time. They may also determine if an account of revealing personal information counts as minor or major. The block times and warnings listed below are merely suggestions.

Minor offenses

  • 1st offense: Warning
  • 2nd offense: 1-day block
  • Any further offenses: add 1 day to the previous block

Major offenses

A major offense, in this case, could be revealing another user's personal information.

  • 1st offense: 1-day block
  • 2nd offense: 3-day block
  • 3rd offense: 1-week block
  • Any further offenses: add 1 week to the previous block


General Ban Guidelines

Vandalism will land you an instant permanent ban.

  • First Offense: Warning
  • Second Offense: 3-day ban.
  • Third Offense: 1-week ban.
  • Fourth Offense: 2-week ban.
  • Fifth Offense: 1-month.
  • Sixth Offense: Infinite ban.
  • In some cases, the offense may be so serious that warnings and lighter bans may be skipped, and the offending user may be given a heavier ban. Admins give bans at their discretion but follow these ban guidelines.
    • It should also be noted that, should the majority of an account's activity be nothing more than spam, advertising, or some other form of disruptive behavior, admins reserve the right to give an infinite ban without warning as the account is clearly only here to be disruptive.
    • Inter-wiki warring carries a minimum punishment of a one week ban with the severity of the offense constituting more drastic bans. An infinite ban may be implemented in the case of multiple offenses or if a user's behavior on the targeted wiki is just that bad.
