Minecraft Wiki:Wiki rules/editcopy

Minecraft Wiki is an online source of information about the video game Minecraft and related subjects. The wiki can be edited by anyone and is governed by the consensus of its users, derived by argument-supported, civil collaboration between them. Minecraft Wiki has a set of rules all editors should normally follow.


 * 1) Anything that is against the Minecraft TOS and/or brand guidelines is not allowed on the wiki, no matter what.
 * 2) Do not vandalize, spam, or otherwise edit disruptively.
 * 3) Keep your behavior civil and assume good faith. Do not harass, stalk or insult anyone, nor make ad hominem. Address the action, not the person behind it.
 * 4) Avoid misleading readers and other editors. Make sure your contributions to articles are verifiable. Do not add speculation, parody content, or hoaxes to articles.
 * 5) Do not advertise any fan communities or servers. Articles should not contain information about or links to fan communities except in cited references.
 * 6) Do not copy content from other sources, including those that discuss Minecraft. If you believe there is a legitimate need to use some copyrighted image as a fair use file, mark it as such.
 * 7) Do not link or embed external videos in articles, unless there is no other way to demonstrate the phenomenon, or the video is official. For more details, see the video policy.
 * 8) The wiki is not a file-hosting service. If an uploaded file is not integrated into a useful page soon after the upload, it may be deleted without notice. Uploading images for your userspace is allowed.
 * 9) Accounts with offensive, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate usernames may be blocked indefinitely.
 * 10) Abuse of multiple accounts for block evasion or other circumvention of policy may result in these accounts being indefinitely blocked.
 * 11) An editor may have more than one account only if all accounts used by the editor are clearly marked.
 * 12) Conversely, each account should only be used by one person. If a group or organization wishes to edit on-wiki, each individual member that will be editing needs to create their own account.
 * 13) If you feel like a change should be made but you do not have permission to do so, please leave a message on the corresponding talk page. Do not attempt to bypass the protection.
 * 14) If you get involved in an edit war (when users undo each other's edits), please leave a message on their wall or an admin's wall. Make sure not to harass or say offensive things, or else you could be blocked . Re-instigating a previously settled edit war can also result in a block.
 * 15) Do not make edits just to increase your edit count (edit farming). This is unfair to many users and can result in a block. This rule also applies to post farming (posting just to increase your post count).

Articles in the "User" namespace are exempt from rules 4, 5, and 7. If you are not sure whether something is acceptable, please ask on the community portal.
