TheTopTens Wiki:Wiki rules

Below is a suggested set of rules to follow when editing this wiki. Administrators of this wiki should read these rules and adapt them as necessary.

IMPORTANT RULE: Please use an objective tone of voice as possible (also includes user biographies). This is a wiki site - therefore it must provide information with minimal to no subjective material on it. An example of mostly subjective material is "User is a great and outstanding user who has created a lot of amazing lists". (Unless backed up with objective statements). A better suggestion would be: "User is a member of TheTopTens, mostly notable from his high quality lists, according to the community" (although there are better ways to interpret it)
 * 1) Keep it civil: Do not make personal attacks on other people. If you need to criticize another user’s argument, do so without attacking them as a person. Do not use bigoted language, including slurs which degrade another person or group of people based on gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc.
 * 2) Be a productive member of the wiki: Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Ask an administrator! Disrupting the wiki with “edit warring” over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not productive.
 * 3) Do not engage in excessive self-promotion: The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. It is NOT a free place to advertise your related website, YouTube channel, blog, social media account, etc. Have a question about whether your link would be welcome? Ask an administrator!
 * 4) Do not harass other users: If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes. It is their wall.
 * 5) Do follow community guidelines for formatting: When a community has established formatting, it’s important to adhere to that, especially when spoiler content is involved.
