ONE OK ROCK Wiki:Policies

This page is a set of Policies and guidelines that are set and expected to be followed as long as you participate in the growth of the ONE OK ROCK Wiki. These guidelines apply to making pages, adding images, editing the Wiki and everything in between. These policies may change at any time, and do not represent all community guidelines.

If you are new in this wiki, you better check these rules and guidelines first before contribute to this Wiki.

User Behavior

Respect for Others

• All users, regardless of status, are required to show the utmost respect to others at all times. No slander, harassment or insults will be tolerated at any time.
  • Always talk to each discussion in an appropriate way.

Vandalism

Vandalism can come in many forms, such as ranging from deleting a portion of the page without proper reason to adding gibberish or foul language. If someone becomes a vandal, the administrators have the right to block the person for an indefinite amount of time depending on the severity of the act.

Other things that you need to follow

• Comments on pages are expected to be appropriate. This means that there should be no inappropriate language, the comment should not be irrelevant, and should not be inflammatory. All comments are expected to use decent spelling, grammar and punctuation. Any comments insulting or harassing any users will deleted; such comments will also result in blocks.
• In the case of an edit war, the two opposing people are expected to solve their problem for themselves. Get a neutral party to give an opinion. If they cannot do that, an administrator will step in.
• Insulting/slandering other users is not permitted. It is the right of any user to remove, or request the removal of, any comment, blog, forum, or message wall post that is insulting or slanderous to them personally. Harassing users in this way will result in lengthy blocks.

Editing Policy

ONE OK ROCK Wiki Editors are expected to contribute confirmed information only.

Page Creation

Things that you must consider in creating a page:

• Name of the Page. Make sure to name the page right. You need to have confirmation/s from a trusted source in naming a specific page.
• Template usage. Every editors are expected to use the correct templates all the time.
• References. In adding information, make sure that you got that information from a trusted source. Add citations too.

Categorization

Categories should be created when they can encompass a significant number of relevant articles.

• Do not create new categories without a previous discussion or administrator's permission.
• Do not add categories that are inappropriate for the page.
• Do not use a person or band member's name as a category such as Rui Hashimoto, Taka or Kellin Quinn.

Image Policy

• Use the image/s sparingly.
• ONE OK ROCK Wiki allow images from ONE OK ROCK Website, ONE OK ROCK Facebook Page and any licensed source.
• We don't allow images from blogspot, wordpress or tumblr.
• Do not upload images that already exist on the Wiki.
  • This rule has an exception. You can add another image if it has higher quality that the previous image. The previous image will be deleted.
  • You can add edited image as long as it is informative.

• If you upload an image, place it in all applicable galleries, and place it in its proper chronological place (especially the screenshots).
• The use of too many images on the same article should also be avoided. Apart from the general consensus that it causes aesthetic problems, this practice also directly challenges the policy that we use images sparingly.
• Every image are required to have an Image-box.
• Add the images to their respective galleries.

Screenshots

• This wiki only accepts screenshots if the music video, live concert and documentary was bought from iTunes. Screenshots from other sites are also acceptable.
  • Screenshots uploaded from blogspot, wordpress and tumblr are not allowed.
  • If you own Live concerts on DVD or Blu-ray, this is also an acceptable source.

• Animated .GIFs are disallowed due to their lack of purpose and distractive quality. If a still image is insufficient to illustrate the text it accompanies, then one should consider rewriting the text to better convey the intended message.
• When uploading a screenshot, please use this naming style: "Name of MV/Live DVD + screenshot number". The examples are "Mighty_Long_FallMusic_Video_screenshot_02.png", "ONE_OK_ROCK_2014_Mighty_Long_Fall_at_Yokohama_Stadium_screenshot_02.png". This identifies that the image is from what music video or Live DVD. Users who do not comply with this rule will be notified, and if the user continues to ignore the proper photo naming format, he or she will be blocked as necessary.

Posters and Promotional Images

• Scanned posters are allowed to upload here.
• Promotional images from oneokrock.com are allowed.
• Edited images are disallowed.
• You can name the Posters and Promotional Images whatever you want to name it as long as it doesn't have any inappropriate words.

If You Are Blocked/Banned

Blocking is the method by which administrators may technically prevent users from editing Avatar Wiki. Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption, not to punish users.

• If you are blocked or banned and want to appeal it, please use your message wall on THIS Wiki, or contact an administrator on their wall on the Central Community Wiki.
• If you are blocked/banned on this Wiki, it is NOT appropriate to follow any Admin to another Wiki they work on to protest. This will result in your block being extended here, and likely get you a block on the other Wiki.
• If you are blocked/banned by one of our Admins on another Wiki, do not follow the Admin here to complain. This will result in a block here and possibly an extension on the Wiki in question.
