The following is a list of rules all wiki users are expected to comply by. Failure to follow these rules may result in either a block or a strike.

For Staff Etiquette, please go here.

General

  • All wiki guidelines apply to the discussions as well unless specified otherwise.
  • This is an English wiki. Please use English whenever possible.
  • As this is a wiki for a British franchise, please use British English in articles. This rule does not apply to places such as discussions, comments, user pages and blog posts.
  • On this wiki, we use a three strike system. Breaking the rules once results in a strike against the offending user. If the rules are broken for a second time, this results in a second strike. If the rules are broken for a third time, this results in a third strike alongside a block. Strikes should be located here.
  • The minimum age to use FANDOM is 13 years old. Anybody found out to be under the age of 13 years old will be blocked for the minimal time possible, such as until their 13th birthday or otherwise until the earliest known time they would be 13. Preteens with an unknown age will receive a 3 year block, and confirmed underage users with completely unknown ages will be blocked for 6 years.

Major

  • As a wiki revolving around a show intended for young children, swearing is prohibited.
  • Do not vandalise. This includes:
    • Removing important text
    • Adding unimportant text
    • Blanking entire sections, or the whole of the page
    • Intentionally making the page hard to read
    • Unnecessarily moving a page
  • Spamming message walls, blog posts, and discussion threads is not allowed.
    • "Counting contests", no matter the base or end point, also counts as spamming. Posts before the 21st June, 2021 do not count.
    • "Viewer voting polls" in the discussions. One user can make up to one "viewer voting poll" post per day. Any more is considered spam.
  • Do not post fanon content on wiki pages, except for the "Fanmade Gallery" pages (there should be one for each character).
    • Please put fanon stories and similar in a blog post, or on the fanon wiki.
  • Please do not post harmful content - this includes illegal links and NSFW content.
  • Evading bans using alternate accounts, known as sockpuppeting is not tolerated. Anybody found out to be a sockpuppet will be blocked and have their main account immediately striked when unblocked.
  • Do not edit another user's user page without their permission, even if it is to correct a typo. Whether or not the other user has been blocked is irrelevant. Bureaucrats, admins and content moderators should only edit another person's user page if it is either to move strike, block, or sock templates to the /Strikes subpage, or to remove rulebreaking.
    • If a user's userpage has been vandalized by another normal user in some way, the only editing a normal user is allowed to do is to revert the changes using the "Undo" function and nothing else. They are not allowed to make any further edits to the userpage.
    • If a user added something that breaks the rules to their own userpage, please alert it to a staff member to fix it. Normal users are still not allowed to fix these edits, as it only causes confusion and enables normal users to decide what counts as "rulebreaking".
  • Please refrain from discussion of political or religious matters. These tend to be sensitive subjects.
  • Avoid creating new templates without permission from an admin. The only exception is opinion templates for official new Learningblocks characters.
    • Templates created without permission will be deleted. If this is in error, please contact an admin.
    • Custom templates for user pages or blogs can be simulated by putting the code directly in the page, instead of creating new templates. Refer to this guide to find out how to do so.
  • Leaking information is strictly prohibited. Please avoid discussion, media or pages of upcoming content that has not been officially revealed.
    • To be precise, only information regarding episodes that have aired on television or have been officially announced on the TV schedule are allowed.
  • Disrespect of other users is not allowed; this includes:
    • Purposefully misgendering or repeatedly using the wrong pronouns for a user
    • Harassment of another in any way
    • Posts asking for others' opinions on a particular user, including "Is there a user you hate/dislike?" or "What's your least favorite user?" posts
    • Ignoring somebody's boundaries, regardless of if the intent is meant to be "silly" or "joking"
  • Please do not ask for another user's personal information. This includes but is not limited to "face reveals", legal names, where they live, somebody's assigned gender at birth, family members, account information, what school they go to, where they work, etc.
    • Additionally, please do not share information that could compromise somebody's personal safety, regardless of who it is. While some bits of personal information are minor(e.g. a first name), others are more major and could risk somebody finding out more about a person's real life. This includes addresses, full legal names, images of their school/workplace, or account information.
    • Do not share any personal information about other users that isn't found on this wiki without their consent, even if it's something relatively minor like their first name.

Medium

  • Unauthorized strike removal is prohibited. Anyone removing strikes will get a warning, the strike will get added back and they will get an extra strike. Their user page will be protected for a week.
  • Anybody with an inappropriate username will be immediately banned. What is considered "inappropriate" is:
    • Swears and overall inappropriate content
    • Mockery or impersonation of another user
  • Rigging any polls on the Wiki is prohibited. These polls are made to include everybody in a decision, and it becomes unfair when one particular result is forced by a small minority.
    • "Rigging polls" refers to forcing a poll to go in favor of one particular option. This can be utilized by either sockpuppets or getting off-wiki friends to vote for a particular answer. If the accounts voting on the change have zero edits and posts prior to voting, and can be clearly tied to a particular person, then that person may receive a strike. Using a known alt to vote multiple times in polls like this is also prohibited.

Minor

  • Do not replace or revert images without consent. If the image uploaded coincides with another, please rename it. If the image is unfairly replaced, we have the rights to revert it. The same rules apply for reverting images.
    • Replacing infobox images is not allowed even if the original image is kept intact. Recentness and poses do not matter, the only thing that matters is consistency. The only time this is allowed is when the new image is of superior quality.
  • Please refrain from advertising non-Learningblocks content anywhere on the wiki, such as gameplay videos or stories of other franchises. Please post those elsewhere, such as related wikis.
  • Replying to long-inactive posts, also known as necroposting, is not encouraged on this wiki. This wiki considers around 60 days since the last reply to the thread to be necroposting. This limit is only here for clarity; if a thread is posted in few days before the limit, and not much is added to the conversation, then the thread may be silently closed regardless soon after the reply. The conversation has likely already finished due to the inactivity - there is no need to reply by that point. Do not reply to old threads just to say they are near or surpassing the limit; staff also do not need to be alerted to old threads if people are not posting in them.

Format

This is the format that must be followed when creating a necessary new page.

General

  • Place the three-way navbox first.
  • After the three-way navbox, place any notice templates if needed.
  • Place the infobox after the notice templates.
  • Place the grand navbox last (if there is one).

Templates

  1. Choose your desired template. This blog post is a list of all templates on this wiki.
  2. If you do not know which parts of the template are customizable, search up the template yourself and use separate tabs.
  3. Type "{{" (two open braces) first. Remember there are specifically two⁠ - doing it wrong will not cause the template to show up.
  4. Type the name of the template. If necessary, type "|" (vertical bar, not "I" or "l") afterward and fill in any missing information, using "|"s (vertical bars, again) to separate them.
  5. Type "}}" (two closing braces). That's all!

Galleries

Many users have started making their own fanmade Numberblocks. If you want to post your media onto the page, this is how to do it:

  1. Go to the fanmade gallery page for your character, not the main page.
  2. Upload your image.
    • If your image happens to have the same name as another, do not attempt to replace it - we will revert it back.
      • Instead, you should change it to another name.
    • Due to how galleries work in FandomDesktop, you are required to upload it before adding it to the gallery. Here's how you do it:
      • Click "Images and Media" (it is the image-looking icon on the editor), then go to Upload.
      • Drag and drop or upload the file onto there. Make sure to click "I agree to image policy and terms of use" before uploading.
      • The Media Setting part is optional, unless you would like to provide a description for it.
      • The picture you wanted to add will be uploaded to the wiki.
  3. Use an appropriate caption. Please do not type "my 17", or anything along those lines. No one will know whose Seventeen it'll be. Type "[username]'s (design of) [Numberblock]". You may use an alias if you are well-known.
  4. If your image is not just a fanmade Numberblock, use this format:
    1. Type in the name of your piece of art in quotes first.
    2. Type "by [username]", and you are done!
  5. Exit the gallery and do not touch any of the other images (unless you need to correct the captions or rearrange them).

Syntax

Numberblocks have the same name with the actual numbers. This can be extremely confusing if not structured correctly.

  • If you are referring to a Numberblock, use the number with the first letter capitalized (One, Two, Three, etc.), the numeral itself (1, 2, 3, etc.).
  • If you are referring to a number of things, use the number (one, two, three, etc.), or the numeral (1, 2, 3, etc.). For example, "two apples" and "2 apples" are both acceptable.
  • If you are referring to a number of Numberblocks, you can...
    • ...use the number uncapitalized for the number, then the number capitalized for the Numberblock (e.g. two Twos)
    • ...use the numeral for the number, then the number capitalized for the Numberblock (e.g. 2 Twos)
    • ...use the number uncapitalized for the number, then the numeral for the Numberblock (e.g. two 2s)
  • You cannot...
    • ...use the numeral for the number, then the numeral for the Numberblock (e.g. 2 2s)
    • ...use the number uncapitalized for the number, then the number uncapitalized for the Numberblock (e.g. two twos)
    • ...use the number capitalized for the number, then the numeral for the Numberblock (e.g. Two 2s)
    • ...use the number capitalized for the number, then the number capitalized for the Numberblock (Two Twos)
