This is a request by the creator of this blog.
Please delete this blog and any/all comments.

Categories[]

  • Do Not make a new category page unless approved by an administrator. This Wiki has an established category system to minimize and organize articles and categories. New categories may be added when new game content is created. If you believe a category is necessary or should be changed, contact an Admin.
  • Check with an administrator before adding more than an isolated category or two to an article. A good rule of thumb is that if a category is not on a similar page, then it is likely unneeded.
  • A user that abuses adding categories (either as vandalism or merely to earn achievements) risks their account being blocked by an Administrator

How to Change your Avatar[]

On your Profile page click on Change Avatar
  • Click on your username in the upper right corner of any page.
  • Move your cursor over the profile picture/avatar box, on the left side of your profile page. A drop-down will appear that says, Change Avatar. Click on the words, Change Avatar.
  • You should now be on the Preferences page.
  • Scroll down to Avatar
  • Choose an avatar from the list, or click the browse button and upload your own avatar image. Note: Make sure your photo is cropped so that it is square. It it is not square, it will not fit properly.
  • Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click, Save.

Screenshots/Images/Photos[]

Also see: Screenshot Help

  • Images should be given appropriate filenames that reflect the content. Images with meaningless names may be renamed or deleted.
  • Before uploading new images, search the wiki for any possible existing images.
  • Images should be use to enhance articles and kept to a relative size.
  • Keep to the format (photo size/shape/position) of similar pages.
  • If possible take screenshots in the daylight hours (of the game) so images are not too dark.
  • For more information on adding pictures or screenshots, see Wanted Items or Screenshot Help.

Blocking[]

An account can be temporarily blocked by administrators to prevent that user from editing. Blocks are used to prevent vandalism or disruption. Blocks sometimes are used as a deterrent, to discourage inappropriate behavior and encourage a productive editing environment.

Circumstances requiring a block are limited only to actions pertaining to this Wiki.

Users may request a block to any admin for incidents of vandalism or disruption. Users requesting blocks should supply credible evidence of the circumstances warranting a block. Administrators are not obliged to place a block.

Blocked users can appeal their blocks by making a statement on their talk page. Unless in the case of error, administrators should not undo other administrators' blocks without prior discussion.
