| − | 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.
| |
| − | Comments or Posts deemed inappropriate by the community will be removed.
| |
| − | *If the topic has an article, directly post your comment there
| |
| − | **If it is something that's new and informative about the game, put it on the [[Recent Updates]] page instead
| |
| − | **If its about a ship, post your comment on the ship girl's page
| |
| − | **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) What is considered a hate comment, if questioned, can be determined by the administrator that decides to address it.

A footnote shall indicate it was edited, and the person's original comments will remain. Tweet tag will come first, then below it is the original post.

| − | ===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. Original research may be dealt with separately, but this is up to the administrator that is on that particular issue.
| |
| − | *Pages that are riddled with copyright violations. This is a particularly sensitive issue, and must be discussed before any deletions are made. Deletions of this type are up to administrators and their decisions.
| |
| − | =====<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. If administrators decide the redirect is acceptable, even if it is subjective, then it does not warrant a deletion.
| |
| − | *Redirects left behind when moving a page between different namespaces or when renaming a file, more commonly known as "move artefacts".
| |
| − | *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.
