Changes: Hazbin Hotel Wiki:Rules and Guidelines

Revision as of 22:25, 12 December 2020

The Rules and Guidelines will be developed more in the future. For further reference, please visit FANDOM Community Guidelines.

Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel Wiki! We're delighted to have you here, and to help you get started on editing, here is a list of rules and guidelines so you can help expand and record everything that goes on in the series!

General Housekeeping

Please adhere to the FANDOM Community Guidelines. The Hazbin Hotel Wiki needs your support and edits, but keep civil. Be nice and treat people with respect. Hate speech, violence, phobia, slurs, harassment, bullying, discrimination, and other negative behavior is not allowed.
No spam, trolling, off-topic images, or off-topic posts. Spam, in all forms, is not tolerated. Please contact the administrator(s) for further information.
Avoid profanities in pages, unless quoting from the show. While quoting from the show is fine, posting images or text of pornographic content is strictly banned.

Speculation

This wiki documents canon information, so please avoid adding fake/outdated information. Details about the development, basis, and conception of the subject, on the other hand, can be added as trivia.
This wiki is focused on accurate lore, although some speculation can be added if there is evidence to support this statement. However, there is a difference between speculation and assertion:
- Speculation is information that is theoretical, but still has proof that it is possible. Assertion is information regarded by someone as fact without evidence or proof. Putting an assertive statement is wrong since it is based solely on one's own speculation and has no possible evidence backing it up.
  - ✕ Bad example: "Stella and Stolas were set up together in an arranged marriage." is based on the fact that they are in an loveless marriage. However, a loveless marriage does not mean it is arranged, and there are instances where evidence can contradict this.
  - ✓ Good example: "It can be assumed that Stella once enjoyed spending time with Stolas alongside their daughter when Octavia was at a young age." is a claim that can be supported by several things shown, such as Octavia saying she used to love Loo Loo Land when her parents did not fight.
- While adding conjecture, please mention and/or confirm that this is purely speculation. Phrases such as "it can be said/assumed/theorized" should be added somewhere in the sentence, thus stating that this is merely a plausible theory. Without them, the sentence indicates the statement to be true, when it actually has not been fully confirmed yet.
- Speculation with evidence is permitted, like with all wikis of the same nature as Hazbin Hotel Wiki. However, in order to avoid confusion, lack of trust from the Hazbin Hotel team, and general disorderliness, you should check whether previous information is still valid/solid when you change or edit it. Lastly, please indicate whether it is based on your/the general community's speculation, rather than true canon, and be able to present evidence from clear and reliable sources.
No headcanons. Headcanons are not tolerated. If you see someone editing/replacing correct information with their own, do not hesitate in contacting the admins.

Community

Staff

Main article: Hazbin Hotel Wiki:Staff

The staff of the wiki are available for contact at any time.

Reporting

Reporting varies by the type of infraction, but generally, you can rely on the staff to mitigate the issue.

Please notify admins immediately if a user is being unruly, disruptive, and do not engage on their walls.
When reporting a troll, vandal, or sockpuppet, please alert Hazbin Hotel Wiki's admins and moderators, depending on whoever is available at the time. For more details on the degree of spam, you can also visit FANDOM Community Central for more details.
If there is a massive wave of spam and the moderators are not available to attend to it, alert the Volunteer Spam Task Force.
If an underage user is on the wiki, please report it with evidence to an administrator.

Editing

Use English in English posts.
- Hazbin Hotel Wiki acknowledges that the series has fans from around the world. In order to handle such a diverse community, please create pages that are in one language.
Grammar
- Hazbin Hotel Wiki strives for a more uniform, professional wiki experience. In order to do so, please exercise some form of formality and grammar. Because this is an American wiki, please refer to Oxford punctuation.
Cite your information.
- Please provide a reliable source for questionable or vague information. This source should be added as a reference using the <ref></ref> tags.
- References from a stream should include a timestamp in the video.
Avoid information that comes from a non-public source.
- To show our respect to the creators, we ask that you refrain from adding information or files that was shared privately without the author's permission. Common examples include information from leaks, Patreon, and private Discord channels.
Do not engage in edit wars with other users.
- If you have an edit you disagree with, please take it to the user's message wall to discuss it in a formal and respectful manner.
