User:Appledash/Warriors Wiki is NOT

Warriors Wiki is an online encyclopedia, and, because of that, also an online community in which editors from all over the world work together and use it in a spirit of mutual respect. Therefore, there are certain things Warriors Wiki is not.

Warriors Wiki is not the official site
The official site is warriorcats.com. The information here is not definitive or official. Articles may be incomplete, inaccurate, or not up to date. This means that the Wiki should not be accepted as the final word. Though we will strive to be as accurate as possible, we are not the original source.

Warriors Wiki is not a publisher of original thought
This is an encyclopedia, and we are not here to publish your original thoughts or analysis. Do not use Warriors Wiki for any of the following:
 * 1) Personal essays that state your feelings about a topic, an analysis, what you think of something, etc.
 * 2) New information that you have come up with on your own
 * 3) Assumptions

Warriors Wiki is not a blog, web hosting service, or social networking service
Warriors Wiki has its own chatroom in its Discord server. The site itself, however, is not a social networking site, blog, or web hosting service.
 * 1) Your userpage is not your primary contribution to the Wiki. It is meant to give information about yourself and to help organize your contributions. It is not your personal homepage nor should it be included to house your entire fanfiction. It is not your only contribution tot he Wiki.
 * 2) File storage areas. You should not be using Warriors Wiki to consistently upload your own images and to store it here.

Warriors Wiki is not a crystal ball
Despite collecting information for future releases of books or new information, Warriors Wiki takes no place in rumors or false product announcements. Although we try to include up to date information about new releases, we cannot post anything here about future releases that have little to no verified back up information. Speculation and rumor, even if from reliable sources, are not appropriate content.

Warriors Wiki is not a battleground
Warriors Wiki is not a place to hold grudges, personal conflict, carry on ideological battles, or nurture hatred. Making personal battles out of Warriors Wiki discussions goes directly against our ideals and principles. Do not disrupt Warriors Wiki to prove a point.

Every user is expected to interact with one another civilly, calmly, and in a spirit of cooperation. Do not insult, harass, or attack anyone who you are in disagreement with. In disagreements, you should not expect to win, but put aside your pride and ego if you find that you are incorrect and a consensus is reached.

If another user attempts to harass you, intimidate you, or attack you, do not respond in kind. Address only the factual points in an argument, and disregard any other inappropriate comments. If necessary, point out that you are deviating away from the actual content issue and you feel that things are becoming uncivil. Work with whomever you like, but do not use a faction in order to disrupt the Wiki and how it runs as a whole.

Warriors Wiki is not a general message board
Warriors Wiki is not a message board. Although you may communicate via talk page, discussions here should be focused mainly on the Wiki, such as, "Where was Jayfeather born?" or "When was Into the Wild published?" and others. General Warriors questions such as "Who was the best ShadowClan leader?" or "Who do you like more, Lionblaze or Jayfeather?" should be redirected to the Wiki's Discord server.

Warriors Wiki is not compulsory
The editors on Warriors Wiki are not paid. They volunteer to do this and do this willingly. We do not require editors to put in more effort or more time than they already do. Editors can take breaks at any time or leave. Focus on improving the encyclopedia itself, rather than demanding more from other editors.

Other information
Remember that we are all here to build an encyclopedia. Do not focus on the Wiki as a social networking site, do not treat editing as a battleground, do not focus interest on gaining as many awards or rights as you can. Work collaboratively, treat everyone with respect and kindness. We are all human, after all.
