*Don't Feed the Trolls - Do not antagonise trolls under any circumstances. It may worsen the situation.
*Use common sense. Don't interpret policies and editors word-for-word.
*Proxies - Proxies may be used to protect a user's privacy. Proxies used for vandalism may be blocked indefinitely. If you currently use a VPN to play the game, please sign off the VPN before posting.
*User Blocking - Also known as a ban. This will only be used in extreme cases. For example, if a user is seen deleting large amounts of pages when it is not warranted, or does not follow our Deletion Policy below, the user will be banned. Whether the user is banned for a duration of time or indefinitely is up to the administrator that applied the ban.
*Respect other people. Be nice and don't try to cause unnecessary strife.
*Artworks and other media should have source and/or credits
**You may put a link in either the comment body or on the caption
**If it is your own artwork, no need to put credits but specify that its yours
*Off-topic Discussions are allowed but keep it minimum
**One thread per topic is allowed for a given time
**Do not make this a General Discussion for another topic/game
===Chat===
Follow the Kancolle Wiki policies and rules when talking inside chat. Administrators and Chat Moderators may take action based on the situation at hand as well (this depends on the situation, of course).
===Ownership===
Users do not own the pages and/or files they edit. Do not undo edits made by other users just because you "disagree" with them. If you have complaints about an edit, please discuss it with the community before making any drastic changes.
===Protection of Pages===
Normally a page should remain unprotected and editable to everyone, unless there is considerable cause to warrant protection.
===Editing===
This is free for anyone to do on the wiki. If you make considerable changes, please write in the summary what you changed and why. Do not spam minor edits to increase your edit count.
===Comments===
<span style="font-size:15px;font-weight:bold;">General</span>
Comments are not something that is moderated that much, but do not:
*Hate other people's comments.
*Post useless comments that do not follow the topics.
*Post comments that violate the wikia Terms of Use.
Comments or Posts deemed inappropriate by the community will be removed.
*If the topic has a wikia article, directly post your comment there
**If it is something that's new and informative about the game, put it on the [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Recent_Updates Recent Updates] page instead
**If its about a ship, post your comment on the ship girl's page
**If it's about two/multiple ships in general, you may post your comment here
**If it's a question about the game, please try asking on the [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Board:Questions_and_Answers Wikia Forum: Q&A] or the [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:_FAQ Tutorial: FAQ] page
**If you're having a connection problem, try posting on [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:_Proxy_Connection Tutorial:_Proxy_Connection]
**For other topics, please be mindful of what article to post it to.
====Recent Updates====
Comments on a specific update to the game is fine, as long as it belongs on its respective talk page. For example, comments for an update that is long past should not be posted on the Recent Updates page (which is meant for the most recent update).
Questions regarding the updates can be posted, but if you expect the discussion to become large, use the forum to do so.
Please do not post useless comments that are unrelated. Those will be removed, depending on the comment.
Hate comments will be removed, depending on its usage. (e.g. if it's constructive it might stay)
====Spoilers====
Spoiler comments should <strike>use the Spoiler Template to hide any potential spoilers. For Example:</strike>
{{Spoilers
|episode = 4
|msg = Spoiling the anime.
}}
Instead of using spoilers, please go to the respective episode thread to have unrestricted talks about episodes. Regardless of being a spoiler or not, it will be removed if posted in anywhere else than the thread.
Continued offenses will warrant a temporary ban towards the user/IP address. In extreme cases, the user will be banned permanantly (this needs some discussion).
===Deleting===
====<span style="font-size:15px;font-weight:bold;">Cases where a page may be deleted:</span>====
=====<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:12px;">Articles</span>=====
*Advertising and spam. Posting random websites links doesn't contribute positively to the wiki.
*Pages that are filled with nonsense or gibberish. There is no point in keeping such content.
*Pages containing original research or a large bias. For example, "According to a poll I conducted among my friends, Yamato can be constructed using default construction methods." This doesn't help at all and it's personal opinion. These pages will be deleted, depending on the content.
*Pages that are riddled with copyright violations. Taking images, lines of text, or entire pages from a website is '''not''' permitted. Pages like this will be deleted, depending on the circumstances.
=====<span class="mw-headline" id="Other" style="font-weight:bold;">Other</span>=====
*Pages that possess content that blatantly violates Kancolle Wiki's policies (i.e. offensive language, scamming, copyright violation, etc.).
*Useless redirects, especially when the redirect is subjective. Redirects for common misspellings and typos, however, may be acceptable.
*Redirects left behind when moving a page between different namespaces or when renaming a file, more commonly known as "move artefacts".
*Pages in another language. This is an ''English'' Wiki, and content must be in English.
*Useless or duplicated categories/templates.
====Cases where a page may '''NOT''' be deleted:====
*Stubs, no matter how small, could one day become a lengthy article.
*A page that requires cleanup or renovation. These pages are just in need of attention; they do not need to be deleted. If you want to adopt an article for renovation, please say so.
*Vandalism. Blanking pages, adding offensive material, or inserting random words should be '''reverted.''' If a page was created with this content or did not have any legitimate content to begin with, it may be deleted.
*A page that has existed for a long period of time but has not received many edits, or none at all. This should instead be nominated for deletion.
