User blog:AlixeTiir/I've been thinking about the rules and...

There are a lot of rule pages that say "Todo placeholder for protection". I'm going to post some ideas for what to put in them here, and if everyone here likes the ideas, I'll run them by Cleric.

Let's start with an important one.

REMEMBER: These are rough drafts of rule IDEAS. These are not actually rules yet.

The Article Listing:

Failure to update the Article Listing within 30 minutes of the creation of your story will result in a 1-day block from editing. Your article will be added the listing, however, each failure to update the article listing will result in an exponential increase in ban time. Your ban time will be raised to 3 days after the second infraction, and then squared for every failure.

List of things which are not excuses:
 * Everything not listed on the "List of things that are excuses"
 * No, "I lagged" is not an excuse, if your computer can't handle a simple wiki, then it's time to get a new one.


 * "I couldn't find the Article Listing" is not an excuse, it's on the top of every page.
 * "It's not an article!" is not an excuse, if it's a blog page, it should not be a pasta, and if it's a recipe, it still goes in the "Recipes" section of the article listing.

List of things that are excuses: ==
 * "Wikia is down/glitched/doesn't let me edit anything/is in read-only mode!" if this can be confirmed by an admin, then we/you will just add it to the article listing once wikia comes back up.

Next one!

Genre Listing and Categories

Do not add incompatable category combinations to your pages, and add at least one category to your page besides OC. If your page doesn't fit into any of the current categories, Weird might be the category you need.

List of incompatible category combinations and other important stuff ==
 * Demons/Devil, Beings, Ghosts, Animals, Monsters, and Gods are all incompatible with each other unless the story is about a large group of characters that have creatures from each category. The likelyhood of this is extremely low
 * Videos Games and Minecraft, Pokemon, or Zelda. They are not compatible, as Pokemon, Zelda, and Minecraft all imply video games on their own.
 * Diary/Journal, Books, and Items/Objects. Unless that diary is about an Item/Object, it doesn't need the category, because the diary is implied to be an object, just as it's implied to be a book. Also books are implicitly objects, so you don't need Items/Objects with books either
 * Television and Lost Episodes. Lost Episodes implies television on it's own.
 * Suggested Reading and any page that's not there already.
 * Holders is a category reserved for the ORIGINAL holders stories. Nothing else is to go there, because that could cause them to come together.
 * No adding pages to categories similar or the same as Site Rules.

That's what I've got for now guys. Kthxbai.
