Hello! Welcome to Creation Wiki, where you can make a page about anything as long as it follows the rules.

RULES
These are the official rules of the wiki created by the administration team. Every user must follow these rules no matter their rank, and the only person who can change these rules is the founder. Administrators may ask for permission to edit the rules by the founder if there is a good reason. Block times are not defaultly set in these rules, as administrators choose the block time depending on how the rulebreaker broke said rules. Administrators may block anyone at any given time, no matter if they did something here or on another wiki. Background checks are often established in the case of a major incident, and before an administrator gets rights (or not).

VANDALISM
Vandalism is when a user edits a page without the page owner's permission, maliciously or not. The instance of the vandalism will be removed no matter what it is unless the owner says it can stay. If the owner is not present or has left the wiki, administrators will make the decision as to whether it stays or goes. Administrators can freely edit pages without the owner's permission. Unmalicious vandalism is when the vandal is simply trying to help, whether it is a grammar fix or an additional paragraph. Even though this is with good intentions, it is prohibited if the vandal does not have the owner's permission. A page reading "Mario wears red clothes" could unmaliciously be changed by a vandal to "Mario wears overalls", which counts as vandalism. Malicious vandalism is when the vandal puts content in the page that most likely breaks the rules, such as spam or obscene words. The instance of the vandalism will immediately be removed unless the owner says it can stay. If the content breaks the rules, it will be removed no matter what. If it is adult content and the owner says it can stay, it can stay but only if the page is marked with the Mature template.

SPAM
Spam is useless information that usually makes no sense whatsoever that can be described as a form of trolling. Spam can be posted almost anywhere on the wiki, including pages, message walls, the forums, maps and the chat. Instances of spam will be removed upon sight. If you see spam, please tell the administrators via their message walls. An example of spam is shouting nonsensical, often vulgar bouts of letters into a page, or repeating the same sentence over and over on chat.

PROFANITY
Profane words (other wise known as swears, curses, cusses and bad words) are words which are primarily used to insult others of objects. They are generally regarded as inappropriate, so please censor the word you are planning to use. A user who uses profanity without censors will be reminded to put the 13+ template before said words in order to warn people that there is innappropriate content ahead. If the content is extreme, if should be marked with the Mature template instead. If censors are not applied, administrators will automatically add them to the content.

DISCRIMINATION
Discrimination is when a person judges/insults another person due to their skin color, appearance, nationality or any other feature about them, phsyically, mentally or socially. This is strictly prohibited and any offense will result in an immediate block, presumably a long one. As a side note, stereotypes are not neccessarily allowed as well and can be removed if the administrators think it is too much.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
The internet is definitely not the place to reveal your information, such as your address or name. The instance of the personal information will be removed upon sight, and all other traces linking to it will be removed.

Replacing photos/videos
Please do not replace photos/videos with other photos/videos, as it is a nuisance. If this was an accident, please tell the administrators and they will repair it without a warning or a block. If it was with malicious intent, the photo will be reverted back to it's normal state and the rulebreaker will face a warning or a block depending on the severity.

Pornographic content
Pornographic content is strictly prohibited and any offense will result in an immediate block. Anything pornographic found will be deleted and Wikia Staff will be contacted.

Gore-containing content
Gore is not allowed on the wiki under any circumstances -- unless it is something like a scrape/cut, or for example purposes. Cartoonish gore is allowed, but to an extent.

ADMINISTRATION
To become an administrator, you must follow these standards: If you accept the standards above and ask an existing administrator to give you the rights, the existing administrators will have a talk discussing the potential rank-up and give you an answer as soon as possible.
 * You must have been on the wiki for at least one week.
 * You have to have at least 500 edits.
 * You have to obey the rules above no matter what.

OTHER INFORMATION
To contact an administrator, please go to that administrator's message wall. Please note whenever somebody is blocked, they are allowed access to their message wall in case of a false block or a mistake, unless it is a major incident. The wiki is called Creation Wiki because you can create any type of page you want, including nonsensical pages or small, one-word or one-letter pages. The rules still apply on message walls, the forums and the chat. The 13+ template may be added to anything with mild swearing in it. The Mature template can be added to anything with frequent innapropriate content. The 13+ template does not have to be appied to things with "hell" and "damn" in them. Categories may not be abused, if we see a user is abusing the category feature we may block them. While it is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended you put pages in plural categories and not singular categories (plural: Dairy products, singular: Dairy product). The wiki's language is primarily English, but other languages are allowed if you do not speak English.
