This page contains all the guidelines for the wiki. If you do not follow these rules you will be blocked eventually. Underlined rules have been recently added and/or updated.
- No name-calling or insulting other people.
- Keep your language kid friendly.
- Don't spam. Spam includes off-topic messages, messages in other languages besides English, messages in "ALL CAPS", messages with repeating characters, advertisements and any messages that you post several times in a row and/or on several places.
- No fan fiction or fan art. If you want to write your own stories about Ben 10 or upload your drawings go to the Fanonsite.
- Undo happens to everyone, so don't get upset when it happens to you. If you make an edit and someone clicks on Undo to change it back, they will usually tell you why they did that in the summary. If you really think the edit belongs there, add it back and be sure to say why in the summary.
- Occasionally, we may have to leave a message on your talk page/message wall saying why something you did wasn't allowed. If it was an honest mistake, explain it to the admin who gave you the warning. If we have to tell you several times, then that usually means you are doing it deliberately. After two or three warnings, an administrator may place a block on your account. Blocks can be anywhere from an hour to a few days for minor problems, or weeks, months, a year or permanent if the problem is severe enough. If you are able to provide a reasonable explanation for what you did, the block may be shortened or removed before it would expire. Do not remove warnings from your talk page/message wall.
- Wikipedia, TV.com and IMDb are not official sources. Make sure you always get your information from official or reliable sources (Cartoon Network, Toonzone, etc.) and don't make anything up.
- No unconfirmed info or fan speculation. Only add information if it has been confirmed. Remember to add the source of your information to the page in the appropriate section.
- Only upload pictures related to the show. Exceptions might be made, depending on the content of the picture.
- Only upload pictures containing Cartoon Network's watermark (logo) or none whatsoever. See more in Ben 10 Planet:Image Guide.
- Files' names must be a short description of the contents and in English.
- Talk pages are not for your personal comments on the main article. They are to discuss ways to improve the article. For casual discussions, start a discussion on the forums.
- Articles should have as little pictures as possible. Only add pictures if they're essential for understanding a part of the article (e.g.: the "Errors" section).
- Before renaming an article, ask about it on the talk page of the article you wish to rename.
- Do not advertise any other website.
- The use of a second account (a sock puppet account, or "sock") is prohibited. See more in Ben 10 Planet:Sock puppetry.
- In the forum, be certain to post your threads in the proper board. Failure to do this might get your post deleted.
