Editing Honkai Nexus Anima Wiki:Community Rules (section)

==Content Rules and Editing Guidelines==
===Datamined and Leaked Content===
The following content is '''allowed''' on the site:
<!--*Datamined icons for released anima and animasters
*Datamined info for '''released characters'''-->
*Icons/Images (no 3D models) taken from official announcements
<!--**Stats
**Voicelines and Quests-->

The following content is '''not allowed''':
*Screenshots or videos of beta tests under NDA (leaked content).
*Datamined information about unannounced characters or upcoming characters that have not been released yet.
*Info, icons/images, descriptions, stats, etc. for anything that is technically released and accessible in the game, but not actually physically accessible by the player at the current time, meaning there is no way for the player to obtain or view the thing in question without the use of exploits or cheats.

===Leaked Content===
The following list contains all content that is considered leaked, and therefore prohibited:
* any screenshot or video that contains leaked content, such as 3D model renders of unreleased characters, anima, or unreleased character icons
* the mention of an unreleased character's name that has not been announced in any form of official media or writing
* the disclosure of the aspect, trait, or faction of any unreleased character that cannot be known through the means of official media or writing- speculation is okay
* the disclosure of stats of an anima or animaster that cannot be known through the means of official media or writing- speculation is okay
* the disclosure of featured banner units or the details of an upcoming banner- speculation is okay
* the disclosure of content that comes with unreleased version updates unless announced ahead of time- speculation is okay
* any external link that provides leaked information that infringes upon any of the rules listed above
* Any material from beta tests after ''Honkai: Nexus Anima'' was launched, even if those beta tests have ended
* Alluding to or referring to leaked content
* Encouraging or promoting leaked content to other users
* Leaks from other HoYoverse titles, such as ''Genshin Impact'' and ''Honkai: Star Rail''

Speculation should only be substantiated with evidence that is based from the currently available content. Users should not base their speculations from previous leaks, or from "rumors" surrounding leaks. If one does not support their opinions or theories with evidence based from available content, the post is subject to deletion, and the user may be warned.

If you have any questions, please ask a Content Moderator or Administrator '''before''' editing or uploading, or else your edits/content will be reverted/deleted.

===Vandalism===
Any form of vandalism is not welcome on the Wiki. This includes:
* inserting false information, inappropriate or unrelated content, spam, or gibberish into pages
* removing content from pages for no legitimate reason
* inserting or spamming links to external sites
* uploading inappropriate images to the site without good reason

===Editing Conflicts===
If you do not agree with a certain edit being made to a page, you are allowed to undo the edit and provide reasonable refute as to why that edit should not be implemented. If the undone edits are reverted, please contact the user through the Message Wall Talk Pages, or through the wiki's Discord to discuss the edited page in question in an attempt to resolve this issue. Please do not engage in edit wars. More editors can be involved in the discussion to achieve consensus if necessary. Repeated overriding each other's edits is considered edit warring and not allowed, even if accompanied by edit summaries. In the event of a counter-productive edit war, the page may be temporarily locked, and the users involved may be warned. If a user is not complying with open-minded discussion, please contact a Content Moderator to have this issue resolved.

===Disruptive Editing===
{{w|Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|Disruptive editing}} is a pattern of editing that disrupts progress towards the project and community's goal, which the editor in question may or may not be aware of. There may be multiple reasons for disruptive behavior: editors may not know that their edits are counter-productive, they do not have sufficient social skills to communicate effectively with other editors, or they do not have the {{w|Wikipedia:Competence is required|competence necessary}} to work collaboratively.

Despite their sincere effort to help, their pattern of editing is ultimately harmful to the project. It undermines the wiki's goal to be a reliable source of information for ''Honkai: Nexus Anima'', and it exhausts the patience of rule-abiding, productive editors, who often have to spend time cleaning up after disruptive editors.

Examples of disruptive editing:
* Edit warring
* Repeated mistakes despite advice or instruction
* Rejecting or ignoring community input
* Disregarding community consensus
* Consistent pattern of incivility
* Perpetuating a dispute despite consensus
* Repeatedly disregarding requests to address any concern about their edit or objection to their edits
* Taking ownership of projects or articles that may drive away potential contributors

Collaboration and communication is key to a wiki. If a user is not complying with open-minded discussion, please contact a Content Moderator to have the issue resolved.

===Deviation from in-game text===
Grammar and spelling errors in transcriptions of official ''Honkai: Nexus Anima'' material should not be corrected, but rather highlighted using the {{t|sic}} template. Erroneous translations should also be noted using a reference note or added to the Trivia section if they impact understanding of the game's gameplay or lore. The Wiki will be updated after HoYoverse (miHoYo) corrects the localization errors.

===Citation and Plagiarism===
Please follow citation practices and cite content and the authors properly if you are bringing content to Fandom or taking it from here to another site. Make sure you have permission to use something before you copy it, and follow the rules for attribution when you do reuse. Everyone likes credit for their hard work!

For more information on how to cite, please read the documentation for [[w:Help:Cite|Help:Cite]].

===Minor edits===
A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, corrections of minor formatting errors, and reversion of obvious vandalism. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute.
By contrast, a major edit should be reviewed for its acceptability by all concerned editors. Any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it concerns a single word. A good rule of thumb is that only edits consisting solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of the content may be flagged as minor edits. Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette, especially if the change involves the deletion of some text.
Consequently, if you are in doubt about whether an edit is minor or not, it is ''always'' safer ''not'' to mark it as minor. Reverting a page is not likely to be considered minor under most circumstances. When the status of a page is disputed, then it is better not to mark ''any'' edit as minor. Reverting blatant vandalism is an exception to this rule.<br />

* Spelling, grammatical, and punctuation corrections, for example "<span style="color:#AA1100">{{Typo|Kumiyo Kyo}}</span>" to "[[Kumyo Kyo]]"
* Simple formatting (e.g., capitalization, or properly adding ''italics'' to non-English words, like "Soukaku may be a reference to the Japanese ''yōkai''" , or titles of certain works, like ''[[Honkai: Nexus Anima]]'')
* Formatting that does not change the meaning of the page (e.g., moving a picture, splitting one paragraph into two &mdash; where this is not contentious)
* Fixing layout errors
* Adding or correcting wikilinks, or fixing broken external links and references already present in the article
* Removing obvious vandalism
