Articles[]
- Wait until the end of an episode before making edits related to that episode, such as character names, gadgets names and events.
- 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. A good rule of thumb is: if you have to use words that indicate uncertainty ("maybe", "possibly", "perhaps", "if ... then"), it's speculation.
- Do not create empty articles solely for the purpose of filling out red links. If you create a page, you are expected to add information to it in a timely manner. Exceptions will be granted for upcoming media until further information is known.
Content Removed by an Admin[]
Do not restore content that was removed by an admin. When in doubt, address the admin directly and ask them about it.
Copying[]
If you want to copy an article from the wiki, you must notify the administrators ahead of time and give the wiki credit. Failure to uphold will result an indefinite block until credit is due. Also copying our theme, is strictly prohibited and against the policy of Wikia.
Fan Art/Fan Fiction[]
Fan fiction is a main part of vandalism. Fan art and fan fiction are strictly prohibited on the wiki and will be enforced immediately by the admins so that other users can concentrate on what is actually in the episodes and official merchandise. This wiki can be used for fan fiction. Fan art is allowed on Discussions, provided it follows all other rules.
Speculation falls under the category of fan fiction and should be avoided, as it is without substance, no matter how probable.
We also do not allow fan cruft; anything that is a biased statement believed by the user, a "fan" of something put it. Examples include:
- Spamming "This show rocks!!" all over a page.
- Making up names for unknown characters/gadgets/places.
- Replacing a page's content with "THIS IS THE BEST EPISODE OF THE SHOW!!"
Personal opinions like this should not be included on main article pages. Inclusion on forum pages or on user talk pages may be acceptable, however.
Fan cruft is considered vandalism and is taken seriously by the wiki's administrators and normal contributors. Continuous usage of fan cruft after previous warnings may result in a block for a period of time, usually small but sometimes longer if the infraction is serious enough.
Information can be noted on this wiki if the information was known/seen/mentioned in an episode or confirmed, or from a reliable source such as Dora-World or ChineseDora.
Pictures[]
- Main article: Doraemon Wiki:Image Guide
- Only upload pictures related to the series. Exceptions might be made, depending on the content of the picture.
Plagiarism[]
This policy may seem unimportant, but plagiarism is illegal and punishments outside of Wikia can occur. So, don't waste your time.
