Wikia Terms of Use

In addition to the rules and terms of this wiki stated below, the Danny Phantom Wiki is also under the official Wikia Terms of Use, which you can read here.

Code of Conduct

Interpersonal conduct

  • No personal attacks, threats, insults, or name-calling directed at other people.
    • Be courteous. Avoid topics that make others uncomfortable (e.g., religion, politics). If you do discuss these topics, do so in a polite, respectful manner.
  • No bullying of any kind.
    • This includes things under the above point, but also things like shipping users that do not want to be shipped, mocking, exclusion, etc. Users found to bully others, even outside the wiki, are subject to banning.
  • No swearing.
    • Do not post images with adult language or offensive content. Because images appear in our new files gallery, it's important to keep them clean. Further, offensive images are often used for spamming, trolling, or vandalism, so they will not be tolerated.
      • Users with offensive images for their avatars will also not be tolerated and are subject to being banned.
    • Hate speech and ethnic slurs are never acceptable. Use of such words may be erased anywhere they appear on the wiki.
    • Think everyone is 13. People the age of thirteen are the youngest users that should be registered on the wiki, so when writing something think that 13-year-olds will read it.
  • No trolling, where "trolling" is defined as performing actions for the purpose of provoking angry or negative reactions from other people.
  • Do not spread false information about other users.
  • Do not impersonate other users or hack their accounts.

Editing on the wiki

  • Do not engage in, support, or encourage vandalism, on this or any other wiki.
  • Do not make non-constructive edits, including "edit boosting", "fluff editing", and "badge gaming" whereby users make meaningless, small edits to increase their edit count.
  • Do not edit war, such as repeatedly undoing another user's edits unless they are blatant vandalism. See Wikipedia's 3 revert rule for more.

General guidelines

  • Do not create two or more user accounts at once without giving a reasonable explanation.
  • If you are under the age of 13 and tell someone you are under the age of 13, you may be banned. If you do not want to be banned, don't tell. Note: we base this off of the Wikia Staff's explanation here: link
  • No spamming, which can be defined as excessive posting of the same message multiple times, or posting numerous messages of gibberish with no legitimate meaning.
  • No advertisements. Advertising other wikis, products, or services is prohibited.
  • Please refrain from using other languages besides English. This is an English Wiki, however there are other Danny Phantom Wikis for other languages, such as:
  • If an admin tells you to stop doing something, stop doing it.

Site use

Safety
For your own safety, it's recommended that you not to post personal information about yourself, such as your school or home address. Remember, anything written on any page of this wiki can be read by anyone on the internet. So please consider that before posting.

Article and Editing Guidelines

Candidates for deletion

If a page is marked as a candidate for deletion, any and all users are welcome to add their opinion as to whether or not the article should remain. Articles that are candidates for deletion are either deleted or kept based on community consensus. The talk page can be found here.

If a page or image has been renamed, it automatically leaves a redirect. Please add the category "Candidates for deletion" so that an admin can find and remove the unused redirect.

Categories

All articles should contain "A to Z". This is to help keep the Wiki sorted and it makes it easier for users to find articles they may be looking for.

Any and all categories are added as needed, but please refrain from adding unnecessary or unhelpful categories. The category names are descriptive and the definition of each one are at the top of the category page. Please read the description of the category before adding it to an article. The list of all categories can be found here.

All character articles should have the "Characters" category, objects should have the "Objects" category, and locations should have the "Locations" category.


Content quality

All content should be canon information. Information and details from the series, the comic books, and/or online sources from the cast and crew of Danny Phantom. For example, Butch Hartman's social media (including his Youtube videos), Ray Angrum's (writer) website, Ian Graham's (storyboard artist) deviantart, etc.

If the content for an article comes from the series itself but it is not considered common knowledge, please cite the episode it comes from. Use the <ref>"episode title"</ref> Examples of "common knowledge" that do not need citation:

  • Sam is vegan (ultra-recyclo-vegetarian)
  • Danny wants to be an astronaut

Examples of information that do need citation:

  • Valerie is a ninth degree black belt. (Mentioned in Flirting With Disaster)
  • Jack does needlepoint. (Mentioned in Maternal Instinct)
  • Any and all nicknames for characters.

Content consistency

For the sake of consistency, please use the following when editing articles:

  • Episode names: Use quotation marks surrounding the episode names.
  • Links: When linking to pages within the Danny Phantom Wikia, especially when doing so with the visual editor, make sure that it links "to a wiki page". This creates an internal link. "To an external page" is for linking to pages outside of this Wikia.
  • Sightings: Use {{Appear|XXX}} under the "Sightings" header. Replace XXX with the episode abbreviation. The abbreviations can be found in the infobox on episode articles or here. For help on usage of this template, including how to indicate if the character was only mentioned or did not speak, you can find this on the template's page here.

Guidelines on images/gifs/videos can be found here.
