Plants vs. Zombies Wiki:Rules

These are the rules of the Plants vs. Zombies Wiki.

General

 * You must be at least 13 years old. If you say you are under 13 or heard about it on another wiki, you will be blocked until your 13th birthday! More about that on this blog.
 * No cussing or profanity of all sorts so use * for censoring. However, some swear words are not swear words worldwide so you can say them as long as you don't use them purposely to annoy/offend a user who it is a swear word to. If you use the worldwide swearing you get a block without a warning. 1 week for minor, 1 month for medium, 3 months for major and 6 months for racist cusses.
 * No spamming or vandalism. This includes spamming minor edits to get badges; please only make two or three edits in a row per page.
 * No reverting good edits without a good reason.
 * No harrassment.
 * No racism.
 * Don't make the Plants vs. Zombies 2 article yet unless you have permission from an admin ot do it or if you are an admin. It is true but we need more info so all the info is on KernelFodder's blog.
 * Two accounts are not allowed. It is exception if you forgot your password on an account or if you had a bad username for your first account.
 * No advertising.
 * No backseat moderating or mini-modding. That means you must not tell someone to stop doing something that breaks the rules. Just report them to admins, b-crats, chat mods, rollbacks, VSTF members and Wikia Staff. If you backseat moderate, you get a 2 week block after seven warnings.
 * Please, do not leave links to the same page, or redirects leading to the same page. This won't get you blocked, but they are annoying.
 * Keep editing to your userpage at a minumim. Mainspace edits are more important.
 * No removing warnings.
 * Do not create duplicate pages.

Talk pages

 * On talk pages (both user talk pages and article talk pages), always sign your comments or make some link to your userpage.
 * Do not leave messages on talk page archives that are archived.
 * Do not remove talk page messages unless they are spam. Inappropriate talk page behavior should be reported to admins rather than removed.
 * For important wiki discussions, such as deleting pages or promoting staff members, only active users with more than 25 contributions are allowed to vote. Users that joined the wiki within the week of a discussion starting may not vote until they have been on the wiki for one week.

Uploads

 * Aside from avatars and emoticons, all pictures must be about Plants vs. Zombies, the making of the game, or be screenshots of chat if someone is breaking the rules without a mod present.

 * Don't steal other users' images.
