Community Central:Participation Guidelines

Welcome to Community Central! We’re happy to have you here. This wiki is a place to get support at Wikia, sometimes from Wikia Staff but also from other Wikians. We have the staff blog, a community forum, chat, and more, all of which are places where you can go for support and talk to other users.

To help make sure that Community Central is a fun, welcoming, and engaging wiki for everyone, we have a few participation guidelines. These provide guidance for what's expected of you when you interact with other users here. These simple guidelines are as follows:


 * Assume good faith. Assume good faith means to believe that everyone is here for good reasons until they give you a reason to believe otherwise. This is the core philosophy behind any wiki community.
 * Don't feed the trolls. Sometimes, bad users will try to provoke you into angry or other emotional responses through harassment or general disruptive behavior. Instead of responding to them and giving them attention, report them to an administrator.
 * Be polite. We all know the golden rule: treat others the way you wish to be treated. One of the best ways to do this is to remember that the user you're speaking to is an actual person, not a computer screen, so treat people as you would if you were talking to them face-to-face.
 * Don't be disruptive. When we say disruptive, that means your behavior is starting to affect other people and their ability to engage on Community Central. This includes spam, vandalism, deliberately bringing a conversation off topic, and anything else that takes people's attention away from the matter at hand towards what you're doing.
 * Have fun! That's always the key point: your time on Wikia should be fun, so have fun on Community Central!

To make sure these guidelines are followed and respected, we have a group of admins made up of experienced Wikia community members. There may be times when they have to ask you to stop doing something or stop behaving a certain way, and this is only to make sure that Community Central remains a place where all users can feel welcome.

If you have any concerns about the administrators on Community Central, or you need immediate support from a Wikia Staff member, please feel free to contact Wikia Community Support or email community@wikia.com directly.
