Changes: Discord

Revision as of 17:30, 15 July 2019

Join Our Discord Server

The Fandom/Gamepedia Discord is a Discord server for editors on both the Fandom and Gamepedia platforms. It is also the place to chat about various things, from discussion about Fandom and Gamepedia wikis, to chatting about beloved games, movies, TV, anime and more, from going technical and helping users for technical problems, to posting pictures, quotes and sentences!

See the announcement blog here for more information.

Joining

Register your account on Discord. It is recommended to download a client for the device you are on. It is mandatory to download the app on mobile. However, for desktop, it is not mandatory to do so, although doing so provides more functions.
Use the invite link, https://discord.gg/fandom, to join the server, then follow the instructions given.
Next, the only visible channel that you can use will be #verification. You should add your Discord username and tag to your profile masthead and then follow the instructions given in #verification. Refer to this guide. This way, the rest of the channels will become visible to you.

Guidelines

Be respectful. Don't engage in heated arguments, call people names, or be intentionally mean spirited. Do not excessively ping other users, especially staff. If you have problems with another community member, please talk to a moderator or staff member.
Do not post content exceeding a PG-13 Rating. Please keep language within reasonable limits and do not share explicit or sexual images. This server has users of all ages and backgrounds, and we'd like all members to feel comfortable in public chat channels. Please keep politics off the server.
Use the proper channel for discussions. #general is used for wiki-related chat, #random is for off-topic chat, #feedback-fandom and #feedback-gamepedia are the respective channels for Fandom and Gamepedia issues, like feature feedback, support needs, crash reporting, etc., and wiki verticals (gaming, anime, movies, TV) have their own channels for more specific discussion.
Use common sense. Not every situation may be covered by these rules. If you're not sure if something is okay, ask a moderator or staff member in #ask-the-mods.
Please keep your username recognizable. We want people to understand who is speaking and be transparent in our discussions. Use “change nickname” by right-clicking your username in the right sidebar if your global Discord name is not recognizable to folks as your wiki identity.

The Fandom/Gamepedia server is governed by the rules of Fandom as a platform and consequences for actions on Fandom/Gamepedia will carry weight here and vice versa.
