Minecraft Wiki:Wiki rules

In order to keep Minepedia free of spam and unnecessary items, there are a few rules you must follow when editing and creating pages:


 * 1) Anything that is against the Minecraft TOS is not allowed on the wiki, no matter what.
 * 2) Spam/vandalism is an absolute no-no.
 * 3) Pages about very simple things, e.g. "House", "Deleting", "Bed" and others, are not allowed. These topics are very unnecessary as they are plain tasks anybody with a tiny bit of intelligence can do.
 * 4) This includes pages about so-called "games" that are played in Minecraft. The only exception to this rule is Spleef as this is widely played and recognized by the community and Notch himself.
 * 5) When creating a page, include as much text as possible and, preferably, an image. Pages that don't meet these requirements can be easily removed without a warning due to lack of content!
 * 6) Personal insults are NOT allowed.
 * 7) Pages about users are only allowed if the user in question has a certain role in the community.
 * 8) This does NOT include pages with the "User:" prefix.
 * 9) Stick to the facts - Don't create parody/comedic/nonsense/hoax pages or pages that could mislead players.
 * 10) This includes content based on mere speculations!
 * 11) Pages that explain strategies/designs or provide guides should be placed as a Tutorial subarticle. (for example, Tutorials/Stockroom design)


 * 1) You are free to link to a strategy/design in other articles as long as they are related to the article's topic.
 * 2) Pages about custom server modifications/topics should be linked to their main article. For example, a mod called "Lots'o'booty" for the server "Yarrcraft" would go into Yarrcraft/Lots'o'Booty.
 * 3) Pages about servers are only allowed if they meet the following requirements:
 * 4) They have to be running permanently, or with minimum downtime. (no three days a week for example, but 18 hours a day is fine)
 * 5) The age of a server must be at least 4 months.
 * 6) Pages about fancommunities are not allowed due to advertising issues and stuff like that.
 * 7) Please add a summary to all of your edits - this will make the wiki more organized.
 * 8) Do not directly copy over articles from other wiki's that discuss Minecraft.
 * 9) Articles regarding custom servers are only allowed when the server is either:
 * 10) Released to the public
 * 11) Active on a permanent server
 * 12) Articles containing information about client mods are only allowed when the client mod cannot contribute to cheating or griefing in multiplayer.
 * 13) Linking to online videos is only allowed if they contribute to the article or if they are official videos.
 * 14) Blatant self-promotion is not allowed!
 * 15) Videos explaining techniques, constructions, etc. "how to" are only allowed on tutorial pages!

Exceptions on these rules can be made, but only with permission from a Minepedia administrator.

Thank you for following these rules.
