Blue Lock Wiki:Policies

To keep the Blue Lock Wiki a safe and healthy environment for all, various rules and policies have been implemented. The following are the wiki's current rules and policies, which must be observed at all times by visitors and editors alike.

Behavior Policy

1. Keep it civil. Do not make personal attacks against other users, wiki staff, and real-life figures. Do not use derogatory language, including slurs that discriminate another person or group based on sex, gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, and religion, among others. Limit your profanity and address others with respect at all times.
2. Keep it safe. Nudity or pornographic materials of any form are not allowed on the wiki. Keep the community safe for work.
3. No advertisements and self-promotion. The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. It is NOT a free place to advertise your related website, YouTube channel, blog, social media account, etc. Have a question about whether your link would be welcome? Ask an Administrator.
4. Be a productive member of the wiki. Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Ask an Administrator.
5. Do not vandalize. Vandalism is when a user deliberately messes up edits, images, or any other thing on the wiki. Vandalism is not tolerated and can result to appropriate sanctions by the wiki staff.
   • The following is a brief list of what is considered vandalism:
     • Uploading fanart or inserting information that is not related to Blue Lock
     • Uploading images with English fan-translated text
     • Uploading fake and leaked images
     • Inserting false information in articles
     • Image and Edit Warring (constantly changing the image and/or content of a page)
6. Follow community guidelines for formatting. When a community has established formatting, it is important to adhere to that, especially when spoiler content is involved.

Media Policy

The Blue Lock Wiki only allows .png  file extensions. This is for the sake of uniformity, and also because many file extension types (like .BMP) cannot be uploaded to FANDOM.

Acceptable Images

• Images that are related to the series, and directly from the author, publisher, and other official sources
• Raw Japanese scans for chapter covers
• Blanked out panels for page content

Unacceptable Images

• Collages
• Fan-works of any form
• Images unrelated to Blue Lock
• Images with watermarks
  • An image with a watermark will only be excused if the watermark is official.
• Images with potential spoilers until the official chapter/episode is released
• Images for the user profile
  • If you wish to have an image on your profile that is not related to the series, please upload it to an external image sharing site and import them here instead.
• Nudity and other kinds of images that shows explicit scenes
  • These are not acceptable regardless if it came from an official source, per Fandom's Terms of Use.
• Duplicate images
• Fake images

Image Format

• Give the image a proper file name. The file name usually describes what is happening in the image.
  • Bad file names include:
    • File:4546577.png
    • File:deeb99cc95636d877e587d6f949568848cd93e64.png
    • File:isagiyo1chi3xx.png
  • Good file names include:
    • File:Isagi dribbling the ball.png
    • File:Isagi tells Team Z that he does not know what his weapon is yet.png
    • File:Rin Itoshi strikes the first ball.png
• Categorize the uploaded images properly. The usual categories are the featured characters' and the chapter's or episode's, which the image was taken from.
• Indicate the proper licensing. Most, if not all, images on the wiki are under {{Fairuse}}.
• Make image sizes consistent. Character profiles have an image size of 300x345px, while all other images must have a size of 200x220px.

Notes

• All uploaded images from the manga should be taken from the raw Japanese scans. Images from fan-translated sites are NOT allowed. Images from those sites are redrawn, inaccurately shaded, and translated by fans. The Japanese versions are the best quality since they came directly from the source.
  • Not all images should have text on them. Chapter, volume, and magazine covers must be uploaded on the wiki with the inherent Japanese text on them. For the rest of the images, they must be uploaded on the wiki with NO TEXT, regardless of language. The only exception for this rule is if the text is inherently part of the illustration.
• Do not upload images on the wiki if they will not be used. If 24 hours have passed since the first upload, and the image has not been used on any page, it will be automatically deleted by wiki staff.

Spoiler Policy

Until a chapter or episode is officially released, all information regarding it is considered a leak, and leaks are not allowed on the wiki. It is forbidden to add any information about it to any of the wiki's articles, and all edits concerning leaked media must be reverted on sight.

Spoilers may be discussed in the Community Forum under the Discussions tag. Beyond this point, leaks and spoilers are not allowed.
