A list of rules that must be followed on this Wiki, 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 will result in a ban.

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 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 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 and count as fanon.
• Please do not upload/make an article for your fan-fiction, please host it elsewhere such as www.fanfiction.net or www.deviantart.com
  • However, please do not create individual articles in the user-space for your own character/fan-character. These will be deleted/removed.

Editing Pages

• 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 month ban, instantly.
• 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.
• Do not add your own opinion on a character or subject onto an article. Adding things such as "Zira was stupid" or "Kiara is the best character" will be removed, and you will be warned. Doing so multiple times may result in a ban.

User Pages

• Do not add pornographic images/hentai/ecchi, 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.
• You are free to put your views on certain subjects onto your userpage, however, things like racism, homophobia and sexism will not be tolerated and will result in an instant one-week ban without warning, and will be removed from your page by an administrator.

Talk Pages

• Do not post irrelevant topics onto a talk page (on the talk page of a user, this is okay), they will be removed.
• Always sign your comments with a ~~~~. You will be warned about this, failure to comply with this over four to five times 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. Do not change what another user has written (even to correct a spelling mistake).
• Try not to argue with other users on articles' talk-pages or user talk-pages. If you have a problem, try to discuss it in a civil manner.
• Commenting in a negative way on a users race, sexuality or religion will result in an instant and permanent ban. Do not bring your opinions on a persons preference or heritage onto this Wiki.

Miscellaneous

• If you have been banned previous, for example for a month, and create a new account in the time you were banned are an administrator finds out, the new account will be permanently banned and an extra two months ban-time will be added onto your old account. If you do this (create and use a new account) over three times, your main account (and maybe IP address) will also be permanently banned.

Instant bans

You will get instantly, and permanently banned, for:

• Posting pornographic material.
• Posting overly-violent material.
• Posting racist comments about a user.
• Posting homophobic comments about a user.
