| − | Before you read this, please read [[WUW:Standards|our standards]]. A '''lot''' of it applies here(apparently, none of us follow any of them), so look over it twice. Look over it until you memorize it. However, there are a few rules that you should follow '''here''' to make things more enjoyable by everyone. Use [[:Template:rulebreaker|this template]] to report rule-breaking fanstuff. Not that you will. We know your type. | + | Before you read this, please read [[WUW:Standards|our standards]].

| − | *Any article here is written for the public. Anyone can edit whatever they want, unless it is protected by an [[Special:Listadmins|administrator]]. '''However''', please try to improve, not do work for other people. If a user reverts your alteration to his or her fanstuff, please respect that. Please don't get overprotective over your work or add a "Do not edit this page" notice to it.

| |
| − | *In the event of a fanstuff's deletion, wrongful reproduction or restoration of said fanstuff without any form of authentication or verification of the owner of the fanstuff(s) is expressly prohibited.

| |
| − | ===== 1.3 =====
| |
| − | *For fanstuff that uses multiple pages, you need to use subpages. This includes but is not limited to email shows, multi-chaptered fan fictions and text adventures. If you do not know how to use subpages, the paragraph below will teach you.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <blockquote>Say, for example, you have a fanstuff called ''Generic User Fan Fiction'', and you have different pages for every different chapter, then each chapter page must be a subpage of it - so Chapter 5 should be called something like ''Generic User Fan Fiction/Chapter 5'', and '''not''' called ''Chapter 5''.</blockquote>

| − | ===== 1.4 =====
| |
| − | *Do not copy large amounts of text off of any other non-original source, including transcripts of toons. <s>Do not copy off of other people's fanstuff without their permission.</s> Do not duplicate your fanstuff on multiple pages. Do not take images and claim them as your own. All of these are plagiarism.
| |
| − | **If a fiction, concept, plot, character or picture is deemed too close or too similar to another (as seen by majority of users) and doesn't have its own category in [[Wiki User Fanstuff]], the item '''must be''' changed or deleted, unless the original creator says otherwise. In the event of a dispute, whichever item was created or thought up first will be seen as the original.

| |
| − | *Don't revert wars. Revert wars are when someone makes a revert on one page, and then another person reverts that revert, and the two just go at it and at it, like two children tugging at a toy. This is not only annoying, but floods the recent changes page and may very well crash the wiki like The Hindenberg.

| − | == 2: Signatures ==
| |
| − | A signature, or sig, is the writing that you sign after talk page comments by using three or four tildes (<nowiki>~~~</nowiki> or <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). When you press the "save page" button, the tildes are converted to your sig. To set your sig, log in, go to [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]], and put what you want for your sig in the "Your nickname" box. However, it must follow the below rules. If you use a template for your sig, then the template must follow the below rules too.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ===== 2.1 ===== | + | ===== 1.2 ===== |
| − | *Your sig cannot be longer than either YOUR USERNAME + 6 NORMAL-SIZED CHARACTERS or YOUR USERNAME + 12 SMALL CHARACTERS. This is normal sized text. <small>This is small text.</small> You can mix it, and have normal sized and small characters, but remember that 2 small characters equal 1 normal sized character.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ===== 2.2 =====
| + | * [[WUW:Don't stuff beans up your nose|Don't stuff beans up your nose.]] |
| − | *Your sig cannot contain characters larger than text this size. All <big>'''big text'''</big> must be shrunken. | |
| − | | |
| − | ===== 2.3 =====
| |
| − | *It's recommended that you use a template for your sig, to make it easy for you to change your sig. However, the template must be a subpage of your userpage, for example, [[Special:Mypage/sig|User:YOUR USERNAME/sig]]. If that's where your sig is located, then using <nowiki>{{User:YOUR USERNAME/sig}}</nowiki> will make your sig appear. '''Do not''' use Template:YOUR USERNAME's sig.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===== 2.4 =====
| |
| − | *If you choose to have an image in your sig, it must be no more than 15 pixels tall. To have your image automatically resize, make it like this: <code><nowiki>[[Image:IMAGENAME.art|15px]]</nowiki></code>. This will not work on images that are much taller than wide. Images whose width is 10 pixels or less count as one normal-sized character. Anything wider counts as two normal-sized characters. Images that stretch lines extra high or low must be resized to not do so.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===== 2.5 =====
| |
| − | * Bright colors such as the default yellow and white text aren't allowed in signatures. If you wish to use similar colors, <span style="color: goldenrod;">goldenrod</span> and <span style="color: gray;">gray</span> are possible alternatives.
