Abiotic Factor Wiki:Rules

Below are the community rules for the Abiotic Factor Wiki. Anyone is welcome to contribute to the wiki, as long they follow these guidelines.

Failure to comply may result in a warning. Continued offenses will result in a temporary or permanent bans.

Community

• Keep it civil: Do not make personal attacks on other people. Critics should always focus on Content, never on the person behind it. Harassment, insults, ad hominem is not allowed on the wiki.
• Do not engage in editing wars: It's possible to disagree with how information is presented in the wiki, but this should be resolved in Discussion page instead of Edit Warring (constant edits and reverting changes).
• Assume good faith: if a wiki editor makes a mistake due to human error, the fact that they are new to the community, or any other honest reason, fellow wiki community members must assume good faith. Community members should approach situations like these with a helpful and understanding attitude.

Content

• Follow the processes and conventions: Follow the Abiotic Factor Wiki:Style guide when contributing to the wiki. When in doubt, ask the administration team in the #abf-wiki on the Official Abiotic Factor Discord
• No speculation or personal opinions: All information should be based on facts either verifiable in the game, or from the official sources. The only exceptions to this are Guides and Fan Fiction content.
• Avoid data-mining: Out-of-bounds exploration or data-mining game files are not acceptable sources for content. The only exceptions to this are images for content available in normal gameplay and stats which could be verified in-game.
• No self-promotion: No advertising for websites, YouTube channels, blogs, social media, etc. are allowed. Some pages (such as Speed running and personal Guides) are exempt of this. Ask an administrator before including non-official links.

• Inserting nonsense and/or gibberish into an article.
• Uploading unrelated/offensive images.
