The Dragon Prince Wiki is free to edit for anyone, as long as all guidelines are followed. Do not be afraid to dive in when you see a grammar and/or spelling mistake, and do not hesitate to provide sourced, official content if you find it missing. Our wiki is usually up to date and edited by many users, so communication before editing is valued.
If you do have a suggestion for an addition to the wiki, comment in the forum or leave a civil comment on our staffs' pages, so it can be discussed with the community. Our staff will try to find an agreement, however, please respect their final decision if they decline your suggestion. Please note that all regular editors are treated alike and general wiki experience will not give you any privilege, regardless of your history.
If not followed, expect a reminder to study the policies once more, or light consequences if purposefully ignored.

• Comply to all of our policies - Make sure to read and follow all of our policies listed on here. Policies are put together through year long wiki experience and are not subject to be changed unless our staff decides so, so please do not argue about them.
• Fandom Terms of Use - All Fandom ToS apply here, meaning you have to be at least 13 years old to create an account and respect the fair use copyright law.
• Read guides - Before editing, please read all guides and policies linked above to assure the best quality of editing.
• Use of our information- All content on our articles is copyrighted under CC BY-SA, requiring credit to our wiki if our information is used.
• Observe civil behavior - Do not argue, insult, threaten, harass, purposefully offend, or disrespect any users.
• Speech - Avoid hate speech, homophobia, ethnic slurs, or any other form of discrimination or racism. This is a LGBT+ safe space!
• Spam - Do not engage in spamming or trolling.
• PG-13 rating - No discussion or sharing of sexually explicit content or mature topics on any of our pages or usernames. This includes wishing deaths on characters.
• Speculating - Do not add speculative or non-canon material to articles (assumptions). Provide a source for all additional contributions, either external or wiki pages.
• Cross-fandom trivia - Our wiki only accepts cross fandom trivia if a relation was intended by the writers. As such, editors should refrain from adding similarities to other shows unless a source exists.
• Fanon - Roleplay, original characters, and fan art are unfortunately not allowed on our main wiki space, as we only serve to cover canon material. Fanart may be uploaded to our Discussions.

If not followed, expect immediate and severe consequences if first warning is purposefully ignored.
|
• Remove existing content - Do not simply remove existing content from our wiki due to personal preference. Unconfirmed info/speculations may be removed after discussion. If you believe something may be wrong but aren't sure, leave a comment on the respective article or contact our staff. Respect however if the final decision is to keep the content. Continued removal of canonly confirmed info will result in a block.
• Engage in an edit war - Communicate with the user instead.
• Disregard staff decisions, reminders and edits - Respect the staff when they ask you to stop doing something harmful or disruptive. Instead of arguing or excusing yourself, acknowledge your mistake and work to improve. If staff has corrected your edit, do not try to fight the changes. If you disagree with a change, you may leave a polite comment to discuss the changes, though if you receive a no, leave it be.
• Rewrite entire page sections - When editing pages, keep in mind that our wiki has an actively contributing community, whose edits are to be treated with respect. If you are new to our wiki, please do not determine that your edits may follow higher quality than the content already provided and communicate with our community or ask our staff which pages are in need of improvement (marked by "Overhaul" template). If marked by the Overhaul template, you are free to rewrite a page to meet wiki standards. We also suggest to consider editing pages that still miss content entirely.
• Force theories / Create accounts to argue - Do not come onto our wiki to force your theories. While polite theorizing is allowed, we do not tolerate users who try to force their theories in the comment section. If you are leaving a comment just to argue, especially if you are not usually contributing to our community in the first place, you may be subject to be blocked.

Frequently asked questions we encountered.
|
• Do you have/want a Discord server? - We as mods had decided very early on that a Discord server would be extra work to moderate with little use for the wiki itself. Offers to moderate for us are kind, though the decision was final.
• Do you need more mods? - If we need more help, we will hire trusted editors. This is currently not the case.
• Why is this page not finished/Why does no own page exist for this? - If a page is not finished, it means a mod started the project and has not had time yet to finish it entirely. If a page is entirely missing for content, it is very likely because the content is covered on another page and lacks enough information to justify an own article. Always make sure to double check before creating a page for content that is missing.
• Why not create articles even if they don't have much info? - Simply because it's unnecessary. Everything short that can be mentioned can be included on a page that summarizes the info. This also applies when two characters share a page. There is no need to have two pages to cover the exact same info.
• I know things differently - All wikis work differently, so just try to adjust to how we like it here!

As a wiki of a show mainly aimed at children, our wiki has banned a few topics from being discussed in both comments and Discussions. Should these topics be brought up regardless, your comment will be deleted. These topics include:
• Problematic ships - While shipping is usually all fun and games, we do not allow discussions of abusive/manipulative ships (i.e. Aaravos x Viren) or ships pairing a minor with a significantly older character (i.e. Aaravos x Claudia), as children may receive the wrong messages from open support of such ships.
• Wishing harm to characters - To avoid hostile behavior, we do not condone violent expressions towards characters, including wishing death to a character, or heavily insulting them, regardless of their actions of the show.
• Excessive dark magic discussions - While dark magic may be discussed in itself and in a civil matter, it should not be put into relation to the ideals of vegetarian/vegan lifestyles, or be heavily glorified. Should a discussion about dark magic become too hostile or concerning, it may be deleted.
• Excessive redemption discussions - While it can be interesting to discuss a character's possible redemption, these discussions have proven to derail quickly based on personal views of an involved character. As such, redemption discussions should be kept civil at all points to both the people involved and the characters being discussed. Should a discussion derail, it will be deleted.
