Myths and Folklore Wiki:Policy

This page states the general rules and guidelines that every user who contributes to the Myths and Folklore Wiki must abide by. Please note that Wikia's wiki-wide rules do apply to this wiki, even though not stated here. Also note that every rule here is subject to change at any time without warning. Any user account is subject to banishment if they break any of these rules, but the conditions and form of punishment varies depending on which rule you've broken.

Vandalism
Vandalism is against every wiki's policy on Wikia. Any user caught vandalizing a page of any kind here on the Myths and Folklore Wiki is subject to termination from the wiki. Unregistered users ("a Wikia Contributor") are no longer allowed to edit here and cannot edit here due to the unregistered editing option being disabled.

Below is a chart of the punishment that follows each offense:

NOTE: Each individual edit counts as one offense. For example, if you edit a page twice and both times they are vandalizing edits, you will be issued 2nd Offense punishment automatically without a 1st Offense punishment being issued.

Profanity
Profanity, also known informally as "swearing" or "cussing", is allowed here, but do not take advantage of this rule. This means no spamming swear words on talk pages, comment sections, or anywhere. Please note that minimal swearing is only allowed in the userspace, like User profiles, User talks, some article talk pages, and forums.

Profanity that is directed at a specific user or wiki is not allowed here and your account can be blocked for harassment.

The chart under the "Vandalism" section applies to this as well.

Fan-fiction
