* Image rules
* Blocking rules
* Protection rules
* Staff rules


== General Rules ==
== General rules ==
* No vandalism, including adding nonsense/gibberish and removing necessary content.
* No spam, which is unwanted advertisements.
* Do not create nor use additional accounts to evade any blocks. This will result in your accounts getting blocked indefinitely. This is not the case if you have ''moved'' accounts.
* Do not violate the [[Roger Rabbit Wiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]].
* Do not remove "Notice", "Warning", and "Blocked" topics from your talk page. If you remove these topics while blocked, your talk page privileges will be taken away/revoked, and your block may be extended.
* Do not add anything unrelated to this wiki's topic.
* No edit warring, which this wiki defines as making counterproductive edits to win a content dispute against another user.
* Do not add false information to articles nor attempt to spread it.
* No fanon content.
* No minimodding, which this wiki defines as posing as an administrator.
* No plagiarism, which this wiki defines as reusing content from other wikis and websites such as [[w:|Wikipedia]] without attribution. See the [[#Content rules|content rules]] for information on how to attribute content from other wikis.
* Do not violate any of WikiOasis' global policies.
* Do not join this wiki for the sole purpose of violating these rules.


=== <u>What Is ''Not Permitted''</u> ===
== Content rules ==
* Vandalism, like adding nonsense/gibberish, and spam, like spamming comments and/or external links. Any discovery of this will result in a warning, but can go straight to a block depending on the severity.
''For information on how to write articles, see the [[Roger Rabbit Wiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]].''
* Sockpuppetry of any form. If your account has been blocked and you return with a new account, the sockpuppet account will be blocked indefinitely and the block on your other account will be changed to indefinite.
** This however is not the case if you have ''moved'' accounts.


== Text Rules ==
* All content must not contain slurs or language that is not tolerated on WikiOasis. This applies to articles, files, talk pages, templates, and user pages.
''To see how to write articles, see the [[Roger Rabbit Wiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]].''
* It is strongly preferred that the text on pages is original and that information from other sources is put into your own words. This is to prevent plagiarism. If you decide to reuse text from another wiki, an example of how to attribute the text is below. Make sure to include links to the page, the revision history, and the wiki itself.
