Survivor Fanon Wiki:Policy

In the SurvivorFanon Wiki, users, both anonymous and registered can make their own fan fictions.

Users must abide to the quality of writing upheld by the wiki and must follow all rules stated in this policy. Failure to abide may result to redirection of the said entry to the writer's user space. This policy is to keep appearance uniformity and quality of all fan fictions written in this wiki. Despite this, users that are newbies should ask administrators on how to upkeep their fanons.

Golden Rules

 * Though enthusiasm in creating one is respected, users should abide to the rules stated in this page as much as possible.
 * Have a unique cast. Though reusing contestants from the canon Survivor TV series is allowed, users are encouraged to make their own characters.
 * Write with correct grammar and spelling.
 * Write responsibly. Use appropriate language.
 * Follow the format given as much as possible.
 * Ask questions to administrators if there are questions regarding the formats, especially in manipulating wikicode. They will be willing to help authors but it is important to know how they did what they did so the writer can do it by himself/herself.

User Qualifications
In order to be qualified as a fanon writer, a user must have a Wikia account. Anonymous users (users that has no username, and is identified by an IP address) may only make edits where they seem fit. This is to easily monitor current fanon entries and to properly document them with categories.

Setting Your Tribe Names and Tribe Colors
Register your tribe names in Template:Tribename, then send your tribe colors (in hex code, but without the "#" sign) to Template:Tribecolor and follow the existing format. These are to help you when you use the confessional templates and to help you recall your colors if in case you forgot them.

Season Page
At the SurvivorFanon Wiki page, type in Survivor: (name of your season). Click the "add fan fiction" button to your right and edit away. An example: Survivor: Antarctica

Similar to pages dedicated for canon seasons seen in the Survivor Wiki, this page will be dedicated to introduce your season, where it was "filmed," challenge wins and voting history chart. To make a season page, copy the format template in this link.

Episode Page
At the SurvivorFanon Wiki page, observe proper capitalization of words. The Dreams of the Storm

In writing your episodes, the format template can be copied from this link.

Pictures
Avatars must be created by you. They may not be used by any other user except the uploader itself. The prescribed avatar creator is faceyourmanga.com. Other avatar creators are also allowed, but their usage must follow US Fair Use Laws. If using canon contestants, creating an avatar for them is encouraged, though utilizing their images from the Survivor Wiki is also allowed.

Other Important Notes
In writing your stories, you may use Template:Quote or Template:Quotedark for your confessionals.

Interactive Fan Fictions
You have the freedom of inviting other users to help you make your fan fictions. You may ask other users to give you contestants, or consult them on how should your story end. Despite this, you should not limit yourself from this. This is still your fan fiction, and how will your story go should be in your discretion. Users may also collaborate in making one fiction.

Fan Fiction Standards
Similar to how canon articles in the Survivor Wiki should be made, fan fiction must be written in high standards, with correct spelling, punctuation and grammar and correct use of templates. Failure to abide will result to you entry being redirected to your user space and will only be returned as a full-fledged article once the policy is met. All entries deemed of "Empty," "Severely Low Quality," and "Low Quality" are eligible for redirected if not mended by the author.

Empty
Uploaded a page, but does have little to no content.

Severely Low Quality
As it can be assumed, articles of this standard are not at all acceptable on this wiki. Entries deemed of low quality contain terrible grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and also are difficult to read and understand fully. An administrator will warn the author to fix all possible mistakes or it may cause deletion. Furthermore, users with entries of such quality will receive little to no help from administrators (assistance for templates and format) after multiple warnings.
 * Severely low quality example - jeff called d survivors & tells them to drop their bufs becuz they will be merging as 1 tribe. Yaya shouting: "YAY!!!!!!!"

Low Quality
Articles of this quality will either contain lesser bad grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure.
 * Low low quality example - Jeff called the survivors and tells them to drop their buffs because they will be merging as one tribe. yaya shouted: "YAY!!!!!!!"

Acceptable Quality
Articles which are deemed of High Quality adheres to this policy in all of its aspects, from the format and composition, putting up the correct templates and categories. Deviations from the policy is acceptable, but only when if it still seem fit.

Deletion
If the user is caught in any way violating the "Assuming Good Faith" policy (a policy that all wikis adhere to) will be deleted and the writer may be blocked depending on the gravity of offense.
