Creatures Wiki:Guidelines/No Personal Attacks

From Creatures Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Editnorn.png This page contains a proposed guideline on the Creatures Wiki.
It is currently up for discussion as to its merit before being made official.
  • Title: No Personal Attacks
  • Summary: The Creatures Wiki is not a platform for personal disagreements.
  • Proposed: ElasticMuffin on April 28, 2006

There have always been, and will most likely continue to be, disagreements and conflict between individuals and different groups in the Creatures Community. However, there are proper places to deal with such issues, and the Creatures Wiki is not one of them. Do not use articles as methods of striking back at those you dislike, for flaming someone over an argument on a forum or other venue elsewhere, or for stating how much you personally dislike someone. In short, please take your arguments elsewhere.

Rude, unpleasant behavior toward others is strictly prohibited on the wiki, and will be dealt with first by a warning. If the behavior continues, the user will be blocked from editing the wiki by an administrator.

If you are the victim of a personal attack on the wiki, do not respond by attacking them back. Instead, ask an administrator for help. They will work to sort out any issues as quickly as possible.

Discussion

The above guideline may be discussed in the space below. When a consensus is reached, the guideline will be either rejected or put into effect.

This seems like a no-brainer. Any questions? ElasticMuffin 03:49, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest strengthening this guideline to "no attacks of any sort." I do not find attacks ever useful in an encyclopedia. Ingreditur 04:11, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd also consider adding "If you have an issue with the way an article is written, or its tone, discuss it in a civil fashion in the discussion page for the specific article." also, make sure you reference Cwiki:About - for eg. "Foul language is not tolerated on the wiki, as per Creatures Wiki:About." Foul language in particular should be mentioned, as it has no place here. - Malkin 07:30, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
