One Piece Wiki:Forum Rules

==Rules of the Forum:

How to Organise Pages
New pages may be added; Keep the titles page to *insert name so they stay within the page naming scheme of the forum.

Keep discussions within the page that most suits the discussion best.

How to Organise Discussions
Add titles to every new discussion so we know where the old discussions end and the new one starts. Without titles things get confusing. Sub titles for related discussions may also be placed under the title to seperate related but different topics.

Please make life easier for all editors by signing your posts with ~, it is considered polite - but also helps to make sure everyone's discussions don't get blurred together.

E.g.: Is the latest spoiler out? ~

Replies to another editor should start with ":" and then the following message(s) you are leaving on the page. This is to let everyone know who you are replying to. But also, again it helps to prevent messages blurring together, particularly if people forget to sign their posts.

For example:


 * Like this.


 * Then This.


 * To reply to a seperate trail of responses simply add less ":"s.

What NOT to do

 * Be rude, like anywhere else on the wikia respect other editors please!
 * Alter comments on the discussions beyond what is considered reasonible. That means you can add new comments OF YOUR OWN but you can't alter anyone elses' or delete them (this is considered Vandalism.  You can alter spelling, but if the owner of the comment undoes the edit, you cannot correct it again.
 * Neglect to read our Image Guidelines for more information in general for images.
 * Move discussions off the forum pages once they've been put on without good reason. Now the forums are open, they can be used for things we can't talk on other pages about such as spoilers, theories and such like.

Forum Topics Elsewhere on the Wikia?
If a topic is deemed too forum-like, it must be moved to the forums. Leave a link to the page its been added to and the title on the disucssion page where it was placed orginally. This is to let the poster know their topic was moved elsewhere. Now the forums are open we know longer have the need to tell people that we're not a forum, nor direct them elsewhere.

After a topic is moved, a line stating it has been moved must be placed underneath it to inform that the topic was orginally moved from elsewhere.

Dates
Unfortantely, due to the number of topics previously created across the wikia, some discussions are not in date order. There are no restrictions to posting against old discussions, but please be aware the orginal posters may not be around anymore and the question may also have been resolved by now. It is advised you check the most recent date before editing.

For now the forums are just setting out and things getting organised.
