Cartoonia Wiki:Rules and Guidelines



As a part of our community of , all users and newcomers must accept the important rules and guidelines listed below. Failure to abide the rules will result in either a warning or a block.

Remember, respect the admins' authority. If there isn't a rule listed, that doesn't grant you the ability to be slick about it. Saying something like "I didn't even realize" is not excusable.

General Rules

 * 1) Age – You must be at least 13 years old to have a registered account in order to contribute to the wiki. If you are revealed to be 12 years old or under, you will be blocked until your 13th birthday. This rule applies to not only just here, but the entire Fandom website according to Fandom's Terms of Use and the law of COPPA.
 * 2) Behavior and civilization – Everyone on this wiki deserves respect, so try to be nice to everyone, especially when it comes to those that have a different opinion than you. As long as all opinions aren't intended to be harmful, they are all welcome. Discussing or commenting inappropriate or controversial topics like sex, politics, religion, or such that crosses the line are permanently forbidden, no matter how mild or extreme these comments with such content are.
 * 3) Profanity – Because this wiki, as well as the Cartoonia franchise, is virtually aimed at all ages, all foul language and profanity of all sorts are completely prohibited on the wiki, even if it is censored or abbreviated.
 * 4) Alternate accounts – While we expect all contributors to have only one account, making one account in case if you are unable to access your old account is okay. Should this be the case, tell the staff. However, it is not okay to create another account to circumvent a block from your main account (i.e. sockpuppetry), even if it's just a day. If you make another account after being banned and you are found out, your other account will be blocked, and the block on both your main and alternate accounts will be extended for much longer.
 * 5) Spamming – Flooding the comment sections with the same repeated words or phrases, large amounts of Zalgo texts, gibberish, emojis, long spaces that reach far enough, images that take up too much space, etc., will not be taken kindly, and will result in a block depending on how severe it is.
 * 6) Mini-modding – Telling other users who are doing something that is against the rules is prohibited. If someone is breaking the rules listed here, please report them to administrators, bureaucrats, or, if applicable and/or as a last resort, VSTF members and Fandom Staff.
 * 7) *Also, please do NOT harass or aggravate vandals and spammers as they will only do worse.
 * 8) Username tolerance – Any users can name their accounts to whatever they want, but users with offensive or sexual content names or names impersonating the franchise's official developers or other Wiki users will be blocked permanently until they rename them to something more appropriate.
 * 9) *EDIT: Claiming or pretending to be any character from any series (unless it's your own original character), be it from a TV show, comic book, video game, etc., will not be tolerated. This deceptive behavior can create confusion and/or uncomfortable feelings among other users. We welcome you to be yourself.
 * 10) Roleplaying – Roleplaying is only allowed in discussions, not in comment sections, blog posts, etc., and must be appropriate. Any themes that focus on something clearly erotic, gory, or other inappropriate themes are seriously not welcome.
 * 11) Privacy and Safety – For your own safety, never, and we mean never, reveal your own personal information, especially when it comes to your home address, phone number, etc. We never ask for these, and we do not want you to tell us any of these.
 * 12) Profiles – User pages are decorative with adding images and descriptions about their favorites, personal opinions and thoughts about the Cartoonia franchise. However, here are the following unacceptable lists that you are not allowed to do with your or others' user pages:
 * 13) * Editing another user's profile, unless if you have permission from them.
 * 14) * Discriminating or harassing anyone or anything behind their backs.
 * 15) * Revealing any of your personal information (such as your home address, phone number, password, email address and credit card number), as mentioned earlier.
 * 16) Cross-Wiki Drama/Guilt-Trips – Under serious circumstances, please keep your issues from other Wiki communities out of this wiki, such as how you got banned from another Wiki or how much you dislike the admins from another Wiki. These are not allowed and will be dismissed.
 * 17) Speak English – This is mainly an English-only site, so please refrain from speaking in a different language. Translations, if whatever language you typed translates to English, however, are okay. We are planning to make separate wikis for the respective languages.

Editing Rules

 * See also: Cartoonia Wiki:Manual of Style


 * 1) Vandalism – Vandalizing and editing pages with false information or clearing out an entire page of info for the purpose of trolling or racial and negative speeches will result in an instant block, depending on how severe it is.
 * 2) Badge-farming – Making unnecessary edits to articles for the purpose of achieving badges is seriously not tolerable, and it is called badge-farming. Anyone who is caught doing so will receive a warning, and, if continued, a temporary blocked will be received. There are several signs of badge-farming:
 * 3) *Massively editing one or more articles over many times.
 * 4) *Removing and adding words, templates, etc., countlessly.
 * 5) *Adding a long row of irrelevant, uncreated categories.
 * 6) Plagiarism – Copying directly from other wikis or online sources (excluding those from the official Cartoonia websites and the staff's Twitter, Facebook, etc. profiles) is considered plagiarism, and is frowned upon by the community as it gives a bad name not only to yourself but to us and can cause copyright dilemmas.
 * 7) Cartoonia is NOT Pooh's Adventures – It is important to note that this is the Cartoonia Encyclopedia, dedicated to post and document about official content. This wiki is not your personal playground, nor is it a fanon wiki where you can make your own crossover shorts of some sort. Creating pages about characters that are not officially confirmed to be in the series yet, or adding information about characters, etc., that are not yet confirmed will either be reverted or removed. Go to the Paper Shin a.k.a Keroro Gunsou Wiki for that matter.
 * 8) *EDIT: This also includes creating false edits about the characters, objects, etc. within the Cartoonia franchise, such as adding references that do not correspond to the staff's intentions, adding fanon fact(s) that did not happen within the franchise, replacing images, and so on.
 * 9) Creating blank/TBA articles – This goes for the same rule as vandalism, only for people who create articles that contain blank and/or TBA (to be announced) content. If the article is created and there is little to no content, it will be removed within one day if it has not been worked on. It may still be recreated after being removed.
 * 10) Edit wars – Starting an edit war on an article by constantly reverting back your edits with another user, if the page has a huge amount of edit-warring for one day, will result in the page to be locked temporarily. If the edit-war just occurred on one page, report it to the staff and wait for them to approve either of those edits.
 * 11) Undoing a staff member's edits – Users are not allowed to undo a staff member's edit without a good reason, unless if there are any mistakes/errors made.

Ban Stages

 *  1st Offense : Reminder
 *  2nd Offense : Warning
 *  3rd Offense : 3-Day Ban
 *  4th Offense : 7-Day Ban
 *  5th Offense : 14-Day Ban
 *  6th Offense : 1-Month Ban
 *  7th Offense : Permanent Ban

Further Notes

 * 1) In some cases, if the offense is serious enough, warnings and lighter bans may be skipped and the offending user may be given a heavier ban. Admins give bans at their discretion but follow these ban guidelines.
 * 2) Do not remove warnings and block messages given to you by staff members from your message wall. These messages are used for others to read through them over and removing them will result in consequences. You can still close them if you choose, however.
 * 3) While you are being blocked on this wiki, do not:
 * 4) * Complain with the admins on this wiki on their message wall from another Wiki to unblock you. You will either have to deal with it by waiting for your block to expire, or you may appeal on their message wall only on Community Central in a friendly, civilized manner. However, acting so in an unprofessional and immature manner, whether it be on Community Central or another wiki, will result in your block being extended for a longer period of time.
 * 5) * Make another account in order to circumvent a block from your main account (i.e. sockpuppetry). Doing so will result in your blocks on both your main and alternate accounts extended to be extended for longer. Further alternate accounts may result in extension of the block, as well as your block being made permanent.
 * 6) * Post a message or a reply in your own message wall to do nothing but harass the admin/mod and/or another user. Doing so will only cause your message wall rights to be disabled, and may extend your block for longer.
