New page

A list of rules that must be followed on this Wikia, failure to comply with the rules will result in a ban, and further failure to comply with the rules will result in a permanent ban. Often you will be warned, and failure to follow the warning well result in a ban.

==Editing Pages==

* Do not insert fan-art, fan-fiction, or fanon to any page. Fanon is information made up by fans, information which is not true. This could be something minor or major, an example of fanon is saying that "''Kiara has a sister''" or "''Scar was in love with Nala''".
* Do not create a page for a made-up character (fan character, OC, original character, ect...) or for a character from another series, even if it is a Disney series (for example, a article on Arial from The Little Mermaid).
** If a user adds fan-art/fanon onto a page, they will be warned. Doing it again will result in a three day ban or a week ban. If done a third time, they will face a one-month ban. A forth time will result in a permanent ban.
** "Most fans believe", "it is a common fan theory", and other statements like that will be removed most of the time and count as fanon.
* When editing a page, made sure your spelling is correct, as well as your grammar. This is not ban-able, but it is '''encouraged'''. If you are using firefox, you can download a spell-check add on by searching in google.
* Do not create pages irrelevant to the Wikia. For example pages on fanon (as mentioned), pages on non-Lion King characters, pages on random subjects (for example a page explaining what a hair-brush is), ect...
* When creating a new page, do not leave it blank, give it at least a little information. This is not ban-able, however a blank page will most likely be deleted.
* Do not add or upload pornographic, violent or irrelevant images to the Wikia, you may upload images to be used on your user-page, but try to limit it to about three.
* Do not add random gibberish/spam onto pages, or delete everything on a page. This will result in a one week ban.
* If you are unsure of whether a piece of information if correct or not (a piece you want to add), post a message on the talk page of the subject the information is related to.

==User Pages==

* Do not add pornographic images, violent images ("guro", "vore") images or offensive images onto your user page, even if hosted on another website.
* Do not add links/urls to pornographic sites, sites with excessive violence, or offensive material.

==Talk Pages==

* Do not post irrelevant topics onto a talk page (on a talk page for a user, this is okay), they will be removed.
* Always sign your comments with a <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. You will be warned about this, failure to comply will result in a three-day ban each time.
* Do not remove anything from a talk page. No comments. It is okay to correct your own spelling mistakes. If a talk page gets to large, it will be archived.

==Instant bans==
You will get instantly, and permanently banned, for:

* Posting pornographic material.
* Posting racist comments.

 ==Fan art, fan fiction, fan characters and fanon==
-* Do not insert fan art, fan fiction, or fanon to any page. Fanon is information made up by fans, information that is not canon. This could be something minor or major, an example of fanon is saying that "''Kiara has a sister''" or "''Scar was in love with Nala''".
+* The general rule about fanon material (material made up by fans of The Lion King) is that the material has to be well known around the community to be allowed on the wiki.
-* Do not create a page for a made-up character (fan character, OC, original character, ect...) or for a character from something other than The Lion King.
+* If you're new to the wiki: Don't do it. You'll get to know what material is appropriate for the wiki in time.
-* "Most fans believe", "it is a common fan theory", and other statements like that will be removed and count as fanon.
+* Don't add your own stuff on the wiki. For exceptions, contact an [[The Lion King Wiki:Administrators|administrator]].
-* Please do not upload/make an article for your fan-fiction, please [http://www.mylionking.com/forum/ host it on the forum].
