Jessica's Big Little World Wiki:Rules

'''These are the rules that all users on this wiki, including the admins and bureaucrats, must abide by. As the wiki evolves, rules will also evolve as time goes by. Punishments for breaking the wiki's rules are decided on a case-by-case basis, depending on the severity of the offense and any previous violations.'''

COPPA
In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), users under the age of 13 are not allowed to edit on the wiki. If a user is revealed to be underage, please report it to an administrator with evidence.

If discovered, an underage user will be blocked until they are of legal age to contribute, usually 13 or older. The expiration will be the earliest date staff can determine a user to be the legal age of contribution, erring on the side of longer blocks. Underage user blocks will not allow the blocked user to post on their message wall or edit their own user page. Attempting to avoid a valid underage user block will result in a permanent block that will not be lifted. If you are old enough to edit but your account is still blocked, you may contribute using a new FANDOM account. Do not attempt to prove your age; users sharing private information will be blocked for their protection. In general, your stated age will be trusted, unless a younger age is found to have been shared elsewhere. You understand that any websites linked on your profile may be used to help determine your age.

In California and the European Economic Area, users must be 16 or older to edit the wiki. Users will be assumed to not reside in these regions unless they specifically state otherwise. This age may also vary depending on your country of residence.

General rules

 * Vandalism, trolling, spamming, discriminative, and not safe for work (NSFW) content are all strictly prohibited.
 * Discriminative content includes: hate speech, ethnic slurs, or any hateful action directed towards people based on their orientation, gender, race, etc.
 * Not safe for work (NSFW) content includes: sexual or explicit content; generally anything that would be disallowed in a school or workplace.
 * Please report vandalism to an admin if it has not already been dealt with. It is also highly appreciated for any user to help and undo disruptive edits.
 * As a basic precaution, unless an edit is blatant vandalism, please assume the edits a user makes are in good faith.
 * If you notice a vandal has been vandalizing multiple wikis across FANDOM, consider reporting it to SOAP (Spam Obliteration and Prevention). If you find yourself frequently reporting users, you may find the SOAPReport userscript useful.
 * Please be respectful and civil to other users. Do not disrespect, offend, threaten, insult, or argue with other users.
 * If you wish to have a discussion with another user over conflicting view-points, please keep it a civil debate. Admins are allowed to end these discussions at any time if they start to get out of hand.
 * All editors must be proficient in English. This does not mean you must be fluent in English or that it must be your primary/native language. If, however, a significant portion of your edits are difficult to read due to grammar and spelling issues, wiki staff reserve the right to block you.
 * No swearing. The subject matter of the wiki is intended for children. Though children may not be allowed to create a wiki account, they are still allowed to view the wiki (and make up a significant portion of readers), so all content should be appropriate for them to access.
 * Listen to the staff. If a staff member asks you to stop doing something that is considered harmful or disruptive, please do so. Staff members may block users who are unresponsive on their message wall; this is not a punitive measure, but instead to make sure users read their messages.
 * Do not engage in edit wars. Follow Wikipedia's three-revert rule.
 * Original fan characters and stories are not allowed on the Jessica's Big Little World Wiki. Canon-based fan art is okay to share on user pages, discussions, blogs, and Message Walls, but completely original content based on Jessica's Big Little World does not belong on the wiki.
 * The wiki is primarily for informative purposes. The primary purpose of the wiki is to inform readers about Jessica's Big Little World. Having a discussion platform about the franchise is only secondary. This wiki should be used for minimal off-topic discussion as it is not a general discussion forum. Users who only post in the User, Message Wall, and Blog namespaces about non-franchise-related topics may be blocked to maintain a clarity of purpose. Users blocked for this reason may request an unblock.
 * Before creating a new article, draft it out in a user sandbox. You can create a subpage of your user page by prefixing your page's name with  and use it to write articles that can later be added to the main namespace. Articles lacking in content in the main namespace may be deleted. This is to decrease the number of stub articles being created on the wiki.
 * Do not edit other users' user pages. The only instances in which this is acceptable are to remove red links to pages that should not exist, add a header indicating that a user is inactive, or fix formatting issues that were obviously unintended. This applies to staff as well.
 * Additionally, do not create other pages for other users.
 * User pages may be deleted if the user they belong to has been permanently blocked and they have not made any edits to their user page.

Comment rules

 * Comments should be relevant to the article and/or its subject.
 * Comments should consist of at least one full sentence.
 * Excessively long comments may be deleted without warning.
 * Do not abuse capital letters. This also applies to message wall comments.
 * Be respectful of others.
 * Do not debate the gender/sexuality of characters.
 * Comments should be appropriate for the show's target demographic to read.

Staff rules
'''These are the rules made specifically for the wiki's staff. If a staff member breaks any of these rules, please report it to the acting bureaucrat or a trusted admin, with evidence, so the situation may be taken care of.'''
 * Admins are not to abuse their powers in any way. Their actions should only be to benefit the wiki and not themselves. Administrators are in no way above normal users on the wiki, and are simply users entrusted with powerful editing tools. If an admin is caught abusing their powers, they will be demoted and potentially blocked depending on the severity of the situation.
 * Any staff member is eligible for demotion if they are inactive for a long enough period of time. There is no set date for how long a staff member can stay inactive before being automatically demoted due to the circumstances. The amount of time it takes will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
