Spamming
Spam is not tolerated on Wazurai Wiki and will be dealt with accordingly. The following are examples of what is considered spam. It should be, in no manner, be used as a checklist for what is or is not spam. It is up to the discretion of the administration to consider what is or is not spam in more complicated scenarios.


 * Articles that contain absolutely no content: it only has an article title.
 * Images uploaded but not linked to any article or user page.
 * Articles that only contain information that would fit under the category of "infobox information." Infobox information is extremely brief bits of information about a character.
 * Continuously messaging user talk pages in a manner deemed by the administration and user in question to be annoying or repetitive.

An article deemed as spam has 24 hours to correct the issue. If the issue continues to fit under the category of "spam material" after the time limit is up, it will be deleted immediately.

Character Policy
Character articles are required to have the following:
 * 1) Name (which must also be the title of the article) - in the case that there is no name for the character, a brief description of the character is required.
 * 2) Must use the character infobox.
 * 3) Must be part of a race.
 * 4) Must conform to the Godmodding Policy.

When setting up the character article, it must follow the Manual of Style, which is the format in which characters are required to follow in order for readers to easily access the information that he or she wants to know. In order to follow the Manual of Style for characters, the article must be formatted as the following:


 * 1) Character infobox
 * 2) Introduction - provides an overview of the character, including history, personality, talents, etc.
 * 3) Biography - provides a history of your character, including involvement in the Wazurai plot(s)
 * 4) Personality and traits - provides a detailed account of your character's personality traits, quirks, mannerisms, etc.
 * 5) Powers and abilities - provides a description of what your character is capable of doing, regardless of whether it's through mado or natural talents.
 * 6) Notes and references - only used when referencing role-plays that the character participated in within the article.

Quotations using the quote template should never go before the character infobox, since it affects the way that the wiki script is read.
