ATBW Encyclopedia:Policy

This page lists all of the rules on ATBW Encyclopedia, each rules are divided into topics within another. Please be sure to read our other rules, such at copyrights, Consequences, and this site is and is not. Please note that to use this site, you must be 13 years old or older. If you live in California or the EEA, it is 16 years old or older. If you are under these age requirements, you will be blocked until the turn of age.

Before editing here at ATBW Encyclopedia, please keep in mind there are a few policies put in place when you are here on this wiki. This encyclopedia on Miraheze was made to accept content that FANDOM does not allow, though most, if not least, are released under different subsidiaries and not ATBW Pictures themselves. Also, this studio is from another world, and as such, any persons shown are existent there. Anyone here with similar names to them is purely coincidental. Also due to FANDOM's strict content policies, which wikis there have been closed for violating them, this wiki will have slightly more freedom, but please still follow Miraheze's rules as well.

The main reason this site was created is to hold information in case something happens to the FANDOM site since We've worked very hard into trying to get as much info about this hidden company as possible. This wiki has a few more freedoms than the FANDOM wiki due to different rules from both servers. The FANDOM site focuses only on the main ATBW and its subsidiaries, as where the Miraheze site focuses deeper, into other subsidiaries owned by those companies (subsidiaries of some sort that do not fit well with the FANDOM wiki), and even into ATBW Blog content that is popular, but not enough to meet the FANDOM wiki's criteria. We will still operate both sites, but at the same time we're still trying to get everything we can here. And please still follow Miraheze's terms of use and their privacy policy, and also read their content policy before doing anything here, or we could block you from this wiki and/or have Miraheze staff block you from all wikis.

'''NOTE: we always try to stay within the rules of Miraheze. Anything in violation may not always be intentional, so please message an administrator regarding this concern if you see anything in violation.'''

We also have a content policy of our own aside from the one Miraheze enforces, and you must follow both of them, or you could be blocked from the wiki and/or the entire site as a result. Please read this entire page from the top all the way down to the very bottom and read them carefully and thoroughly to ensure that ATBW Encyclopedia stays a safe site for everyone. You will not be able to find a link to the site on the main page of the FANDOM wiki, as stated by Miraheze themselves, they've been advised that FANDOM does not allow links to other wikis on the main page of their wikis. So you will have to google this site in order to come back to it.

ATBW Encyclopedia uses the Vector skin, which is a similar skin used by Wikipedia, as both are run using MediaWiki to operate. But this site however is NOT Wikipedia. We do NOT have ANY affiliation with Wikipedia, nor do we promote it in any shape or form. ATBW Encyclopedia was made as an entirely separate encyclopedia to hold all things ATBW only. Almost all of this content is not allowed at all on Wikipedia under the notability policy, which we don't have here.

'Everyone is required to follow all of these rules at ALL TIMES'', regardless if you are registered or unregistered. There is no excuse and there are absolutely no exceptions.'''

Article Pages
Article Pages are the basic pages that tells the information about an ATBW or Langile product or one of their subsidiaries. These include but are not limited to; Film Studio, Theme Park, TV Network, Broadcasting System, Store Chain, Website, etc.. Note that "not limited to" on this wiki as stated in this page can be any one of the mentioned things included.


 * Making a new article page must have approval by staff members. The page needs to be related to one of the topics of ATBW or one of its affiliates or subsidiaries; Silver Quarts, Red Epsilon, Orange Omega, Escade, etc. If they are not relating to ATBW, they will not be approved. Making unauthorized articles could get you banned.
 * Articles must have proper grammar and spelling. The text that bares the title of that article must always be bold.
 * Any article can and will be deleted at anytime by an administrator or ATBW staff.
 * We do not require edit summaries on this wiki, but we do strongly encourage that you add one. If your edit is simple and does not change information however, then you MUST mark it as a minor, which is underneath the summary, but an edit summary is only strongly encouraged.
 * You may not plagiarize content off this wiki at any cost. See THIS PAGE if you have not, which lists all copyright policies throughout the wiki. Any failures to comply will result in a long block. If you are using a source from an external page (i.e., news site or blog post), you MUST cite your sources properly and you MUST make sure that the source or sources you're adding are credible and not biased. Adding biased materials will result in a block from this wiki.

If you have been blocked and return on a new account, the block on your existing account will be reset and extended and your new accounts will be banned permanently. There is no excuse for it and there are no exceptions. See this page for more information about using multiple accounts.

Article Comments
Article Comments allow users to post on a specific article, but they MUST be related to the topic of the article and swearing in any form is completely banned.


 * Swearing, Profanity, or any form of Vulgar Language is completely banned on ATBW Encyclopedia and those who are caught swearing will be blocked. Substitutes for swearing i.e., #### or @$%@, as well as any profane or vulgar words in other languages are also not allowed on this site either as it can harm the site and its users' well beings. There is no excuse for using profanity on ATBW Encyclopedia and there are absolutely no exceptions. Period.
 * Abuse, harassment, threats, bullying, stalking, and/or intimidation are NOT ALLOWED on ATBW Encyclopedia, and there are NO EXCUSES OR EXCEPTIONS. Anyone who gets caught doing any of these things will be permanently banned from ever using ATBW Encyclopedia.
 * ATBW Encyclopedia is NOT social networking. This is NOT facebook, twitter, or instagram. Do not make an account on ATBW Encyclopedia just for the simple motive of wanting to chat. Also, do not use abbreviations or short terms when using the comments section, because those are things that you can use on social media. ATBW Encyclopedia is a collaborative encyclopedia, not social media.
 * Absolutely no mini-modding allowed. Do not tell anyone else what to do if you are not an administrator. If someone is breaking the rules, report it to an administrator immediately.

Userpages
Users have their own user page that they can edit, but don't just create an account and not contribute.


 * All users are limited to only four user page edits within 90 days after the last one. This is a collaborative encyclopedia and the user page is just a bonus page, not the main attraction. We will become very annoyed if users merely edit their own user page for no reason at all.
 * As per Consequences, it is a grade 4 offense to edit someone else's user page, and you will be banned for hacking someone else's profile. You may leave a message on their talk page only, but never on their user page. If you see offensive material on it, report it to an administrator immediately.

User talk pages
User talk pages are communication pages to leave messages to users. However, they are NOT personal chat rooms.


 * As with user pages, user talk pages are not the wiki's main attraction. Users who are here only to chat and not contribute at all are not welcome on ATBW Encyclopedia.
 * Please keep all conversations ATBW-related. After all, this is a collaborative project, so please try to keep off-topic conversations to a minimum.

Miscellaneous
Rules that do not fit in other sections but are still needed. The ^ indicates that these rules apply to administrators, chief administrators, and content moderators rather than users.


 * ^Due to fandom's strict policies in regard to page migration, all pages on the ATBW Wiki on Fandom are to remain on the ATBW Wiki intact. We are still trying to get the rest of the pages off of it and onto the ATBW Encyclopedia. It is not advised to add links to ATBW Encyclopedia on the ATBW Wiki due to fears that it could contravene fandom's terms of use on forking wikis. Fandom prohibits mass deletion of pages and they do not allow for their wikis to have a link to the forked wiki. So, before importing pages from our Fandom wiki, remember to just leave the pages alone and don't add any links to the miraheze encyclopedia on the fandom wiki.
