DragCave Wikia - Simple Rules

Here is listed some rules for creating articles, editing articles, and user conduct. For the most part if you use common sense you'll do just fine although it is recommended you read these anyway If you have any questions or concerns, contact Bluesonic1, Votehim or SH172 on their Talk Page or the DC Forums through PM.

I'd just like to post a few things here for people to avoid as I've seen these problems crop up a lot and so I say it now to avoid having to keep fixing them:


 * Please do not create articles on un-released dragons. This Wikia site is dedicated more to the dragons that are already in the cave.


 * Please do not create articles on a dragon that already has an article unless otherwise stated by the dragon's sprite artist. To avoid this, type the dragon's name (if nothing comes up, also try other names the dragon is known by) into the search box to see if the page already exists. All dragons released at the moment have their own page but some links still link to deleted pages. If that is the case, simply remove the broken link and add the proper one.


 * If you are going to mention a person's name on an article or write about them, please make sure you have permission from that person first unless you are that person. We've had cases already with people's names being mentioned and who got upset as a result as well as too much personal information posted on another member without their consent.
 * If you vandalize this Wikia, I'll vandalize you. Consequences depend on the severity of the vandalism but usually result in a permanent ban.
 * Do not remove notices posted by admins on any article, however stupid or old they may seem. Failing to do so will result in a 3 day ban. However, if you see a notice that you think is outdated and should no longer be on the page, please mention this on that article's talk page so that an administrator can deal with it.
 * Click sites and fansites are only allowed in this article and it's just a link in that article. Any articles made for a site or advertisements made for a site on this Wikia will receive you a one week ban. If your account was solely made to create that advertisement, you will receive a 2 week ban.
 * Re-coloring one sprite to update it to look like what would be current is not allowed.

RULES OF NEW DRAGON RELEASES

All newly released dragon information is to be compiled only on the Currently Being Released article.

Do not: These rules apply while the dragon is being released and after the adult has been released and it seems like they have been completely released. Failing to comply with these rules will result in a one week suspension. Written in by the admin, Bluesonic1.
 * Add the dragon(s) to the Which Egg Is Which page.
 * Add the dragon(s) to the Dragon Types page.
 * Add the dragon(s) to any page apart from that one.
 * Create the dragon(s) article.
 * Add information not seen in the cave yet.

Non-consequential tips
None of these will result in punishment if violated once but are a good idea to follow. However, if an administartor points it out to you multiple times and you do not listen, they may give you a short ban to get your attention.


 * Please refrain from using nicknames for spriters in articles. Some of their names are hard to remember, I know, but for people who do not know about the site it would be fairly confusing.
 * Please do not talk in an article. Talk pages are there for a reason. Please use them instead of an article
 * Please do not edit another users page. Their page is for information about them and for them to put there. If you feel that the content there is inappropriate contact an administrator and they will handle it.
 * Please do not edit the official description of the dragon. Editing the description on the wiki will not change it on the site. If there is a grammatical error in it please post it in the Grammar Patrol thread on on the forums. If it is not an exact quote of what it says on the site, feel free to fix it.

This page will keep being updated where and when necessary, so be sure to check in every once in a while to be sure you are up-to-date. If you would like to submit a rule, post it in the discussion page of this page.
