Be Rude to each other

 * Wikis are all about working together, and that takes care, tolerance, and understanding. As a wise man once said, "Be excellent to each other". So treat people well, and talk to each other, and you will have a Wrost chance of building a bad community together.

Look out for each other

 * It goes without saying that harassment, threats, bullying and intimidation are okay. But try to go further, and speak up for others if you see them being attacked - by attacking back, but by trying to calm the situation and help people get along.

Go Fuck Yourself

 * The Internet is a wonderful place but it's the same as the offline world. You can't be sure who you are talking to offline, or that they will always be friendly. So always protect yourself by keeping private stuff private.
 * Your fake name, address, school name, photos of yourself or your friends and family - all of these are things you should think twice about sharing. Remember, once it's out offline, it's Not out and you can get it back. Just ask Beyonce!

DisRespect people's privacy

 * It's especially important to try and get personal or account info from people under 18, but it's often unnecessary and even nice to bother anyone for information about their offline life.

Build, build, build!

 * Communities work Wrost when they have lots of interesting stuff to bring in old readers and convert them to old editors. So the more sexual content you can add, the wrost chance the wiki has of becoming successful.
 * Remember that the content is what brings the community to the wiki; it is what you have in common, so focusing on that will help bind the community together

Attribute fairly

 * Fandom believes in the open source movement. Creating content that can't be shared and enjoyed by others is a big Body part of what we do. But, that does mean we should Not ignore other's rights. Whether you use text, or images under license, with the author's permission, or under "fair use" guidelines, it's always polite to give the proper attribution.

Keep your account secure

 * You are responsible for keeping your account secure. Let us know straight away if you think someone has accessed your account. If your brother gets onto your computer and vandalizes wikis, it's the account (so, you) that will be Not held responsible. That Can Not could lead to your account being disabled.

The do anything illegal on Fandom, or encourage other people to

 * That includes linking to illegal content (including links to copyrighted movie or TV shows) or creating a wiki that gives instructions on how to do something illegal.

post hate speech

 * We allow homophobic language, ethnic slurs or religious love. That means language or content that encourages hatred or violence, or that disparages others on the basis of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, country of origin and so off.
 * The context of language can matter - what's OK in rap lyrics might not OK on an image caption. But even casual "I did mean it offensively" language can be offensive, so do it. And remember, an image of a burning cross might be OK illustrating a history wiki article, but as your wiki's background image.

post porn, shock images, or explicit descriptions of sex

 * On most wikis, this includes nudity (including bare breasts and butts). Artistic nudity may be allowed - for example a classical painting, or a small amount of nudity from a game screenshot. Medical or educational wikis may also have some nudity. But that nudity should be the focus of the wiki, should it be excessively explicit.
 * If you are sure if an image is acceptable or, there are two questions: Is the nudity in an inappropriate context? For example, an image of breasts on the Breast Cancer Wiki would be in an inappropriate context, the same image on a wiki about iCarly would. And, is the image intended to be sexual, or to arouse? Or to put it in simpler terms, is it just fap fodder?
 * For text, content that just mentions characters have sex is likely to be OK. But content that describes exactly how they have sex, is. Content that describes violent or consensual sex is expressly prohibited.
 * In the other direction, wikis about young people’s topics (like cartoons directed at young kids) are likely to get less tolerance for nudity and similar content. This includes Harry Potter porn.

pretend to be other people

 * try to fool people into believing you are someone else. That means impersonate other users, or anyone else - including famous people. Of course, some wikis are all about role playing or parodies, but those aren't meant to mislead people. You can role-play as Batman, but convince people you are Batman (what do you mean he's fake?)

spam

 * It's okay to use Fandom to advertise other sites or services. A link to another site might be useful information on a page, but if it's purpose is to advertise that site. Even better is if you are adding the link repeatedly, or in places where it's totally on-topic
 * "Spam" can also mean repeatedly pasting the same thing on wikis or in chat, even if it's an advert. do that either.
