Adopt Me! Wiki:Rules and Guidelines

Updated: December 16, 2020 (UTC)

Adopt Me! Wiki has its set of rules and guidelines for users to follow, in order to keep the wiki in a good shape and interactions between users. Disobeying the rules will result in discipline.

The Editing Guidelines do not necessarily count as rules, as they are meant as guidelines on how to properly edit an article. However, repeatedly disobeying the Editing Guidelines will lead to discipline, as they are disruptive.

All Fandom policies, specifically the Terms of Use and Community Guidelines, apply to all Fandom wikis, meaning all users must follow them.

We do not have direct relations with NewFissy, Bethink, or any other developer. We are simply fans of their creation, Adopt Me!, and just want to help other fans by documenting the game. We cannot add any ideas you have and fix any issues you have. Though the developers may occasionally appear on this wiki, their presence does not confirm affiliation.

Guidelines

Editing Guidelines

Please adhere to these guidelines in order to keep the Wiki professional and clean:

All information should be confirmed from ONE OR MORE of the following credible sources:
- Content published in the past or current version of the Adopt Me! Game
- Adopt Me! Twitter
- Adopt Me! Instagram
- Adopt Me! Tik Tok
- Adopt Me! Youtube
- Adopt Me! Discord from the following channels: #announcements, #update-logs, or #adopt-me-faq
- Adopt Me! Website
Make sure each item page has the following:
- An infobox
- Proper formatting (e.g., In source editor: Infobox then the description of item...)
  - Make sure the article looks appealing.
- Formality Rules (e.g., Proper capitalization, no use of first-person, limit the use of second-person, etc.)
Do not add unnecessary categories to pages. It's strongly recommended to only add articles to existing categories!
Include links to pages when necessary.
- If there is a name, place, or thing that links to an article, link it.
  - Example: The Cure All Potion is part of the 2019 Advent Calendar.
Fix red links.
- Red links are links that are addressed are redirects but are redirected to a page that does not exist.
Make sure that everything is grammatically correct and that spelling and punctuation are accurate.
This Wiki should be in American English (-er, no 'u' in color, etc.).
Make sure all item names are in-game names and are properly capitalized.
- Proper nouns are names, places, or groups
  - Example: That is a potion. This potion is called the Levitation Potion.
  - In this case, the "Levitation Potion" is the name of the potion. The potion just describes what kind of drink it is, therefore it is not a proper noun and not capitalized.
The first occurrence of the page's subject must be bold. All subsequent occurrences should be normal text.
- Ex. The Starter Egg is given to you when you first play. The Starter Egg is also free.
The wiki should reflect the current state of the game. Rumors or unreleased content should not be used or published on the wiki.
- Unreleased content can be published ONLY IF the information are confirmed one of the credible sources listed.
Do not edit the same page multiple times in a row.
Write correctly-spelled grammatical full sentences.
- Watch out for those homophones, subject-verb agreement issues, and compound adjectives.
Do not add pointless trivia.
- Do not add points that are obvious (e.g., the Levitation potion makes you levitate).
When writing dates, write out the month and the year at minimum and in the acceptable format.
- Acceptable: "November 2018"
- Acceptable: The whole date is preferred. If there is a day, write it as: "November 24, 2019", for example.
- Incorrect: "11-24-2019", "24-11-2019", "24 November 2019"
Do not specify currency as "$160". Specify currency, such as "160 Bucks," 160 Gingerbreads", etc.
- For specifying robux, use the template {{Robux|x}} in source editor, where x is the number of robux.
Add a summary to every edit made, truthfully. It is courteous to let others know what you added, deleted, or edited.

If you are not sure about how to fix something, notify a wiki administrator.

Punishment System

The moderators or administrators will ultimately choose what punishment is appropriate for a user if a user has committed a violation of the Rules and Guidelines.
