SHouldnt this be moved so it has the wiki name in front? It wouldnt be in the normal page space then. Toadbert

Just noticed
A bunch of these rules arent followed a lot of the time.


 * "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."


 * There is a page about houses.


 * "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 entire community."


 * Im pretty sure I have seen pages about games on here. I cant remember the names, so i cant check. They might be deleted but I dunno


 * "When creating a page, at least include 3 paragraphs of text and, if possible, an image. Pages that don't meet these requirements will be easily removed without a warning due to lack of content!"


 * Quite a lot of pages dont have 3 paragraphs of text. It is kind of a lot to be asking about most of these articles.


 * "Please, use the "Show preview" button before saving your page."


 * This doesnt have to do with anything, but you are forced to do it now, so should it still be here? lol


 * "Stick to the facts - Don't create parodic/comedic/nonsense pages or pages that could mislead players."


 * Why do we have a joke page template then?

My suggestion is rewrite some and remove some.Toadbert

grammar

 * Please must mark all edits with a summary.

Needs to be changes so it says either "Please mark all edits with a summary" or something more adequate. In the current state it makes no sense. Aclectasis 06:37, 17 October 2010 (CDT)

Tutorials-actual consequence
can we make the tutorials rule have a consequence? I have seen two new ones appear just this morning. and over 6 per week. this ALSO outlines a major problem that no new users read the rules.

frankly, if we aren't going to enforce the rule more than a simple "oh, you've done this, let me just put it there for you", it is nothing more than a guideline, and does not belong on this page in the first place in my opinion.

rules are made to be upheld. not to be ignored, with no consequence. not even the equivalent of a slap on the wrist! hell, a 6-hour ban would be nice to get the message across, yet we can't even verbally warn them.--Kizzycocoa 05:19, 21 October 2010 (CDT)
