Changes: Blog Guidelines

Revision as of 19:36, 14 June 2020

Blogs are a fun feature of the wiki as you can communicate with other people, advertise your page, and introduce yourself! However, there are of course rules to this feature. And these are a some of our rules for the blogs!

Guidelines

Can be made to introduce yourself (e.g Q&A, other wikis you might attend, simple discussion of the site's creations).
Can be made to advertise other wikis, so long as the advertisement is short and is not an attempt to shame/harass this site in the process (e.g insulting this site, harassing other users to join the advertised wikis, etc).
Cannot be made to point out bugs. Report the bug to FANDOM Staff.
- NOTE 1: use Special:Contact/bug or Special:Contact.
  - NOTE 2: if Special:Contact is used, one member from the support team will notify the technical team and the technical team will look into it.
Cannot be made to place your Creepypasta characters and/or their stories. Make a page.
Do NOT add category Community Highlight! Blog will be deleted if that category is added. Community Highlight is to be added by wiki staff (if the blog earns it).
Can be made to advertise your page as long as you provide a link to it and not paste the whole page on the blog!
Do NOT use the blog guidelines to bully or threaten someone.
Staff members can use a blog post for an announcement as long as it isn't for something unimportant.
