TV5 Wiki:Rules

Below is a list of guidelines that every member on this wiki must abide by. Should you violate any one of these policies, we reserve the right to terminate your account accordingly .

Account required
We require all users to be log in before editing. If you wish to edit on this site, please register for an account.

Age restrictions
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account, meaning that you must be born on or before today's date (August 28) in in order to do so. Anyone found to be holding an account while underage will be blocked until they turn 13.

One Account Only
The number of accounts that you are limited to registering is one. This is also a simple step to reduce instances of sockpuppetry. Sockpuppetry is when someone tries to hide from a certain ban under a new username. Sockpuppet accounts are not tolerated and will be banned immediately upon discovery.

This rule does not apply to users operating approved bots.
 * If you've made a username sometime ago, but forgot the password of it and then registered a new account with a similar username, ask an administrator or moderator to block the old account while retaining the new one, or submit a password reset request to Miraheze for the old account and then have the new one cancelled. Failure to do either action will result in both accounts being suspended.
 * If you want to change your username for any reason, you can request a Global Rename from Miraheze by posting on their Stewards' Noticeboard or their Discord server.
 * If you have signed up with an offensive username, then you will be required to request a global rename. Do not misuse this rule to troll on the site and break our other rules or you will be banned and you will no longer be welcome on the site.
 * If you have been temporarily banned and you create a new account to bypass your block, your ban will become permanent.

No blank pages or blanking of pages
If you create a page concerning anything, do not leave it blank. The person who created the page will be given two weeks to place content on the respective page. If no content is added within that time frame, then the page will be marked as a stub. Stubs may be flagged for deletion at any time if content has not been added.

Irrelevant Content
Anything not related to the main topics (TV5 & Cignal TV) will be removed upon sight. Examples of this type of content include:


 * Personalities with other networks (unless they are current ABS-CBN artists who moved to TV5 from GMA/ABS before they transferred to Kapamilya Network)
 * Off-topic discussion: We are not interested in any screenplays, novels, etc. This is the TV5 Wiki; it's about everything Kapatid and nothing more.

Language Rules
This wiki is primarily an English-Language wiki. This article uses Philippine English.  Please do not use any other type of English (American, British, Australian, etc.) from other countries. Using of Filipino language, any of its dialects, or any other language (Spanish, French, Russian, etc.) is strictly not allowed, except for the following conditions:
 * Episode names
 * Names of TV shows and series (like Di Na Muli, Frontline Pilipinas, Kusina ni Mamang, etc.)
 * Quotes
 * Transcripts

We have a Tagalog-language wiki, named TV5 Wiki Tagalog, wherein you can edit using the said language there. Click here to visit.

Conventions:
 * All discussions on talk pages, threads, etc. should be in English.
 * New pages should not be created in non-English languages (except for transcripts). Company names in foreign languages are accepted where an official translation of the name is not available, for example if a company does not operate in English speaking areas.
 * Foreign curse words remain subject to the same rules as those in English. Strong curse words and insults, if identified, will be removed on sight.

Treat all members equally
All members here (including admins) will be treated equally, regardless of their status. It does not matter if you are a celebrity, the President's child, have a cult following on the Internet (such as YouTube), have a life threatening disease, a mental condition (e.g. Autism), ADHD, depression over something (such as a deceased relative), a physical disability or just someone with a knack for closing logos and such. If you break any rule, you'll face the consequences, no matter what the circumstance. You are being nice to us, and we to you. But it is no excuse to break any rule regardless.

No fanon content
As we try to keep a good, clean, and canon database for TV5, we don't want the Wiki to be cluttered with fanon material. However, you may upload clean fanon pictures to your user page and/or blog. See here for more information.

Keep it civil
Do not make personal attacks on other people. If you need to criticize another user’s argument, do so without attacking them as a person. Do not use bigoted language, including slurs which degrade another person or group of people based on gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc.

Be a productive member of the wiki
Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Ask an administrator! Disrupting the wiki with “edit warring” over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not productive.

Do not engage in excessive self-promotion
The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. It is NOT a free place to advertise your related website, YouTube channel, blog, social media account, etc. Have a question about whether your link would be welcome? Ask an administrator!

Do not harass other users
If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes. It is their wall.

Do follow community guidelines for formatting
When a community has established formatting, it’s important to adhere to that, especially when spoiler content is involved.

Obey All Rules
Above all, please obey all rules. That is all. Have fun!
