User blog comment:Neo Theta/What Not To Do On Wikia/@comment-761251-20101115073250

These restrictions aren't actually restrictions. Every wiki has its own rules, and especially any wiki you create does not have to follow any of the rules Henry mentions here, with the exception of spamming, because that is conduct prohibited by the actual Terms of Use. To chat on talk pages is fine (on some wikis), to create a wiki about any topic (including yourself) is fine (but it can't be obscene), you can blog about what you want (if your wiki doesn't restrict this), the talk pages of admins are certainly not "reserved" for anything on most wikis I've seen.

The real tip I can give you is that before you start getting into a community, it helps to have a look around how the people on that wiki behave; what they usually do or don't, and whether they have written any policies for their wiki that should know. It also rarely hurts to ask an active user for advice before you do something that you don't know if it is acceptable (some are assholes, if you find you've asked one, simply ignore the answer and ask somebody else). Bonus tip: many wikis have chat channels; these are an opportunity to ask questions and learn about the wiki semi-privately; be prepared to wait a while for an answer as people might be busy and see your question only later.
