Enfswimtfgirls Wiki:Rules and Guidelines

As part of the , here are the list of rules and guidelines all contributors must follow and abide to. Failing may result in consequences. Breaking one rule and saying something like "I didn't realize" is not something we consider excusable.

Please note that all rules are subject to change.

General Guidelines

 * 1)  Be nice and civil to everyone.  We expect everyone here on the to show some respect to each other, that includes their opinions as well. If you have a different opinion than someone else's (i.e. liking a character on this wiki that someone else doesn't, and vice-versa), please try to be civil and friendly about it.
 * 2)  Keep swearing to a minimum.  The use of swearing is allowed here, however refrain from doing so excessively. Targeted swearing or consistent name-calling at another user/group will not be permitted. Also, please keep in mind that, we have zero tolerance for any derogatory, racist, homophobic or sexist slurs and phrases of any kind, even if they are censored or abbreviated.


 * 1)  No real-world people.  This wiki is for fictional characters from existing media only. Do not make pages for real-life celebrities, surfers, etc.
 * 2)  The only user page you are allowed to edit is yours.  Unless if given permission from said user. However, admins and moderators do have the right to edit your user page should they contain inappropriate content.
 * 3)  Don't request someone to create an article about a character for you.  It often comes off as bossy, rude and annoying for someone to say something like: "Why has nobody created a page for [character], yet?", "Can you create a page for [character]?", etc. If you really want a character to have their article on this wiki, then please feel welcome to do so.
 * 4)  Please use only English.  The main language for this wiki is English. Please avoid using other languages besides English because others cannot understand as to what the article(s) are saying, but various translations are OK.
 * 5)  Please use proper English grammar.  It is important to use proper English grammar when editing, commenting, etc., so this way others can understand it. Also, please do not capitalize every word (i.e. Typing Sentences Like This) in nearly every sentence you make, as it's rather annoying and redundant.
 * 6)  Only one account per contributor.  We expect all contributors to this wiki to have only one account, and no more than that. Eventually making another account while you are banned from your main account (in other words, sockpuppetry), will only get you blocked on both accounts for even longer, and any more accounts will result in the extension of your block from being longer to permanent.
 * 7) * However, if you ever happen to lose access to your main account, you can have a backup account for this matter. Please tell the staff if this ever happens.
 * 8)  Absolutely no drama.  Pretty much self-explanatory. We have no tolerance for anyone who tries to start any kind of drama that should happen here. As previously stated, we want this place to have a friendly, welcoming community.
 * 9)  Refrain from backseat moderating.  This refers to users who give out warnings to other users when they have no admin/bureaucrat rights. It is okay to give them friendly reminders, but only admins and bureaucrats are allowed to hand out warnings.
 * 10) *Also, if someone is breaking the rules, please avoid harassing/insulting them as it only encourages them to do worse.
 * 11)  Absolutely no NSFW, Hentai, Rule 34, or any pornographic content of any kind (including fetishistic content).  Please, most people on this wiki are not comfortable with this type of content, that also includes nearly any fetishes (i.e. foot fetishes) of any kind. Although most of the site's content is suggestive, anything beyond that will not be tolerated. Dating and predating are also prohibited.

Editing Guidelines

 * See also: Manual of Style


 * 1)  Strictly no vandalism.  Vandalism is, if not, one of the worst offenses possible. This includes, but not limited to; blanking pages, adding or inserting nonsense into pages, and so on. Risk yourself getting blocked if you persist.
 * 2)  Don't start an edit war.  Edit wars occur when users constantly revert each others' edits, usually with disagreement with one another. If an edit war occurs, it will be protected until further notice.
 * 3)  Avoid creating blank, TBA or one-line articles.  This is no excuse for laziness. We don't allow creating articles that are just blank pages, or pages with little-to-no content in them (i.e. only a single paragraph and/or just a picture without any text). If an article has only one paragraph/sentence and only one image, it will be marked with the template. If you are going to create full pages, please use the sandbox page before you plan on creating a page, or better yet, use and refer to this article template to create pages.
 * 4) *IMPORTANT NOTE: Articles that are marked with the template and haven't been expanded for enough content with effort after one month will be deleted. Articles that just a sentence/paragraph but no image will be deleted in three weeks. Should they be deleted, they can be re-created again, but please try to put some effort into them.
 * 5)  Try to avoid plagiarism as possible.  Plagiarizing refers to copying-and-pasting from other sites and wikis such as Wikipedia, and often comes off as a original content. When editing, try to come up with original content as you can.
 * 6)  Do not undo an admin's edit without any good reason.  Self-explanatory. Non-admins are not allowed to undo a staff member's edit without a good reason. If the admin chooses it this way, then that's their final. If you've spotted out any mistakes or errors in the edits they've made, however, then explain the errors to them.

Category Guidelines

 * See also: Category Keywords


 * 1)  Do not create new categories without discussing over them first.  We have a lot of categories, and it is no longer necessary to have any more new ones. Everything else had been done so many times and makes the wiki extremely burdensome for others. If you feel like a new category should be created, then have a discussion about it first before creating them.


 * 1)  Check categories beforehand.  We have many categories on this wiki, so don't add a page to a category that does not correspond or has been deleted. Finally don't add categories that are already on the list. Always check the category page and then the article's list before doing anything.

Image Guidelines

 * 1)  Only add official art on articles (screenshots, concept art, promotional art, etc.)  Self-explanatory. Absolutely no fanart, edited images (with the exception of screencaps compiled together), mods, etc. are not to be added in articles, only their respective subpages (i.e. /Edited, /Fan Art, /Mods).
 * 2) * Vectors of official images, however, are allowed.
 * 3)  Name all image files appropriately.  When uploading, please ensure to give your image file a good name; avoid non-descriptive names like, and.

Commenting/Talk Page Guidelines
Keep in mind that this wiki also has rules for commenting and making discussions in talk pages.
 * 1)  Comment only in English, and be sure that your grammar is understandable.  As mentioned earlier, this site mainly uses English only. Do not post comments that are in a different language because no one else can understand as to what you are saying, but translating it, however, is okay. Also, be sure that you use good and accurate grammar so that it can be well-understood by others. Capitalizing every word in a sentence (i.e. Typing Like This), is not allowed as it comes off as really annoying.
 * 2)  Comments and discussions must be relevant to the article.  Being off-topic and/or making discussions in talk pages that have nothing to do with discussing with the article will not be tolerated, and they will be removed if done. As for commenting, saying stuff like "First" is not allowed (this isn't something like YouTube, and comments like these come off as redundant and will be removed if they are done).
 * 3)  Spamming is prohibited.  Spamming is one thing we don't tolerate here. They often involve repeating the same words or phrases, excessive amount of emojis, long spaces that reach very far, long images that take up a majority of the comment, etc. If paired with vandalism, you will be blocked instantly..
 * 4)  Don't roleplay.  Roleplaying is not allowed in the comments or the talk pages and they will be removed if persisted. If you came here to roleplay, then you've come to the wrong place.
 * 5)  Please don't type in ALL CAPS.  This rather comes off as highly childish, annoying and unprofessional. A few words and phrases are fine, but typing everything entirely in ALL CAPS is not.
 * 6)  Avoid posting sexual/perverted comments.  Just because this wiki is full of swimsuit-clad female character does not give you the right to say stuff like: "Damn, she is sexy", "I Like To Fap On Her Bikini" and so on. No one here wants these kinds of comments here, ESPECIALLY considering the fact that some of the characters on this wiki are minors. Just try to be tasteful and chaste while you can. It's absolutely fine to say stuff like: "She is beautiful" or "This is my favorite female character!", however.
 * 7)  Do not discuss about your block from another wiki here.  If you've been blocked from another wiki, then please don't mention it here, especially with the user who is an admin from the other wiki you have been blocked on. If you want to discuss to about your block from another wiki with an admin of said wiki, then please go to Meta for that matter.
 * 8)  Rather than commenting about what should be added or fixed, just make the edits yourself.  If you don't see any categories and/or images that should be added, and/or any errors, vandalism, etc. that should be fixed/reverted, don't leave a comment about them - just make the edits yourself. Instead of commenting something like: "Why isn't she in the Anime category?" or "Can someone revert the vandalism on this article?", just add the category and/or undo the vandalism yourself. If you are not absolutely sure what to do, ask in the article's talk page, or have a discussion with someone on their talk page.
 * 9) *  NOTE : If an article is semi-protected, you can feel free to make an account or otherwise ask someone who has a registered account. If an article is fully-protected, however, just ask on an admin's talk page.

Staff Code of Conduct
This is the code of conduct that all admins, bureaucrats, moderators and other staff members of this wiki must follow:
 * 1) Be friendly and ready to help.  The admins and moderators of this wiki are supposed to help keep the  a better and welcoming place. You have your position for a reason. Assist wiki contributors if they need help, and be ready to answer questions regarding whatever you are watching over.
 * 2) Only trust the user(s) with promotions if other admins, bureaucrats and moderators agree.  It is important to note that admins and bureaucrats must have an agreement with the promotions, ESPECIALLY those that are bureaucrats, which is extremely risky to give to someone because, once a bureaucrat adds them in the user group, they cannot be demoted by other bureaucrats except the bureaucrat themselves.
 * 3) If you're an admin/bureaucrat on another wiki, that doesn't mean you deserve either user right here as well.  Please note this wiki is different from other wikis and we have different procedures for picking new admins. For example, if you're an admin here, that doesn't mean you can be an admin on another wiki.
 * 4) Always abide to the Block Guidelines.  Admins must hand out reminders, warnings and blocks for a good logical reason. They cannot just block users for fun or unfairly.

Block Guidelines
These are the guidelines for the punishments users will receive should they fail to comply with the rules. Please note that lighter punishments may be skipped. However, admins still give these kinds of blocks at their discretion.

Additional notes

 * 1) Do not remove/edit punishment messages from your talk page. They are used for others to look through them over, but it is okay to fix any spelling/grammar errors they have made, however.
 * 2) As previously stated before, using alternate accounts to evade warnings/bans (i.e. sockpuppetry) will only result in the extension of blocks on both accounts to be blocked for much longer, and further accounts can result to your block being made longer on all accounts to the point of being permanently blocked.
 * 3) If you are blocked on this wiki, please don't go on another wiki to harass/attack the admins of this wiki to unblock you. This will only cause more drama from here to the other wiki, and we don't want that to happen. However, if you really want to appeal it in a friendly manner, please contact them on their talk page/message wall on Meta, nowhere else.
 * 4) *  HIGHLY IMPORTANT : Please note that not all appeals will be successful, and if the appeal was denied, you'll have to deal with being blocked anyway. Continuing to argue with the admins will only get your block extended for a longer duration.
 * 5) If you broke something and you didn't realize it, saying "I'm sorry! I didn't realize" is not something we consider excusable.
