The Cool Kids Wiki:Policies and Rules

Updated: March 31, 2021

Welcome to The Cool Kids Wiki! Before you begin editing, there are a few things you should know.

Like most wikis, we have a collection of policies and guidelines intended to keep the community as organized and functional as possible. All users are required to abide by these policies, and failure to do so may result in a temporary or permanent block from the site.

User Conduct

 * 1) Be respectful. Please try to remain kind and civil with other users at all times. Harassment/spamming of other users will not be tolerated.
 * 2) Absolutely no adult content. The use of profanity (outside of any words specifically used in The Cool Kids, such as in titles, quotes, etc), ethnic/racial slurs, hate speech, and otherwise unacceptable/vulgar language and of course sexually explicit/NSFW content will not be tolerated. In short, try to keep things at a PG-rated level.
 * 3) The use of sockpuppet accounts is prohibited. Using an alternate account to cause disruption, harass a user, or evade a block will not be tolerated. You may use more than one account provided it is not for these reasons.
 * 4) No personal attacks. Do not write that user so-and-so is dumb, or insult them. Instead, try to politely explain the problem and how to fix it.
 * 5) Be graceful. Further, try your best to accommodate other people's quirks while remaining as polite, solid, and straightforward as possible yourself.

Pages & Editing

 * 1) Spam and vandalism will not be tolerated. Adding unnecessary or nonsensical content, removing needed content from pages, creating pages about topics that have nothing to do with The Cool Kids, or creating pages about episodes or characters that do not exist are all examples of spam/vandalism and will not be tolerated. However, you are welcome to create your own characters/episodes/etc. in your personal user blog.
 * 2) Inserting false or unverified information is not allowed. In order to keep the wiki as accurate and correct as possible, please do not insert false or unverified information into a page. An example of this would be adding something like season X will premiere on September 25th before the premiere date has been officially announced or otherwise verified. There is an exception to this rule if something is presumed as fact but hasn't been officially confirmed; in the above case, season X will likely premiere in Fall 202X would be acceptable.
 * 3) Please remember to provide an edit summary. More of a suggestion than a rule, but edit summaries help other users understand what you changed and may also help you yourself understand what you did after a long leave of absence from an article.
 * 4) All pages should be written in clear, grammatically correct American English.
 * 5) Respect "good faith edits". Do not revert edits that were clearly submitted with good intentions but aren't to your liking, unless you're reverting very obvious vandalism. The only exception to this is if the edit is difficult to read or understand or negatively impacts the page in some other way (e.g., extremely poor grammar or broken English to the point that it's difficult to understand).
 * 6) Do not create pages with little or no content. If it is an obscure topic that not a lot is known about, the page should contain at least basic information about the topic, an infobox, and preferably a picture. (This page is a good example of what should be done in this situation.)
 * 7) Editing MediaWiki or heavily-used template pages is not allowed unless permitted by an administrator.
 * 8) Respect copyright. Fandom uses the GNU Free Documentation License. Everything you contribute to this wiki must be compatible with that license, including pictures and videos.
 * 9) Use the preview button and proofread what you changed. More of a suggestion than a rule, but this is useful because it will prevent edit conflicts and will often save you from publishing a page that still needs some work.
 * 10) Only add appropriate, relevant categories to pages. Adding random or subjective categories (such as "Characters with Glasses", "Best Episodes", etc) will not be tolerated.

Images & Videos

 * 1) All images and media must relate to The Cool Kids in some way. The only exception to this is in your personal user blog or on your user page.
 * 2) Do not add random images or videos that have nothing to do with the topic of a page.
 * 3) All media files should be renamed to a relevant filename. For example, 'Margaret Flynn 2.jpg' is preferable to 'Screenshot8.jpg'. This makes the files much easier to find and work with, especially if you are uploading more than one.
 * 4) As mentioned above, adult content will absolutely not be tolerated.

Discussions, Blogs, & User Pages
The policies outlined in the User Conduct section above apply here as well.
 * 1) All Discussions posts must at least loosely relate to The Cool Kids.
 * 2) Please refrain from sharing any overly personal information. This is for your own safety.
 * 3) Discussions replies should keep on topic with the original post. It can be surprisingly easy for a conversation to go off-topic, but try to keep a handle on things and keep the discussion relevant to the original post.

Please be advised that in addition to the policies laid out above, this wiki is also bound by the Fandom Terms of Use. You agreed to these terms when you created your Fandom account and failure to abide by them could result in your account being disabled.
