Count Duckula Wiki has rules that all users are required to follow. The rules have been broken down into four headings:

  • General rules
  • Content rules
  • Blocking rules
  • Protection rules

General rules

What is permitted

  • Anything related to this wiki's topic, such as crew members, characters, home media, etc.

What is not permitted

  • Vandalism, including adding nonsense/gibberish and removing necessary content, spam, which is unwanted advertisements, and flooding, which this wiki defines as editing, posting, and uploading in a way that has an impact on the activity pages and logs. Always be careful with how quickly you edit, post, and upload on this wiki.
  • Sock puppetry of any form. If your account has been blocked and you return with a new account, the sockpuppet account will be blocked indefinitely and the block on your other account will be changed to indefinite.
    • This however is not the case if you have moved accounts.
  • Edit farming, which this wiki defines as making more than 3 changes to an article in a short period of time. Please be careful when editing, and be sure to make use of the "Show changes" and "Preview" buttons to make sure you are happy with your changes before saving.
  • Removing "Warning" and "Blocked" topics from your talk page. If you remove these topics when currently blocked, your talk page privileges will be taken away/revoked, and your block may be extended.
  • Anything unrelated to this wiki's topic.
  • Edit warring, which this wiki defines as making counterproductive edits to win a content dispute against another user. Sometimes, edit farming occurs during edit warring.
  • False information. Please do not:
    • Add it to articles
    • Attempt to spread it
  • Fanon content.
  • Minimodding, which this wiki defines as posing as an administrator or discussion moderator.
  • Plagiarism, which this wiki defines as reusing content from other wikis and websites such as Wikipedia without attribution. See the Content rules for information on how to attribute content from other wikis.
  • Any violations of Fandom's Terms of Use, including but not limited to:
    • Abusing, harassing, threatening, or intimidating other users
    • Joining when underaged
    • Impersonation
    • Soliciting personal information
  • Joining this wiki for the sole purpose of violating these rules.

Content rules

For information on how to write articles, see the Manual of Style.

  • All content must not contain profanity or slurs. This applies to articles, blog posts, comments, files, talk pages, templates, and user pages.
  • It is strongly preferred that the text on pages is original and that information from other sources is put into your own words. This is to prevent plagiarism. If you decide to reuse text from another Fandom community, an example of how to attribute the text is below. Make sure to include links to the page, the revision history, and the wiki itself.
This page uses content from the (replace with name of wiki) page (replace with name of page). The revision history lists the authors. The text on Count Duckula Wiki and (replace with name of wiki) is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike Licence (CC BY-SA).

Reusing content from Wikipedia

  • The text on Count Duckula Wiki and Wikipedia is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike Licence (CC BY-SA). However, this wiki does not allow entire Wikipedia articles to be reused. So, while reusing content from Wikipedia is allowed per this page, entire articles cannot be reused. There are two templates all users are required to use when creating an article and using content from Wikipedia: {{Wikipedia}} for articles that use content from an article of the same or a similar name, and {{Wikipedia2}} for articles that use content from an article of a different name. Make sure to use these templates correctly.

Blocking rules

Blocks are only to be issued for violations of this wiki's rules. Blocks cannot be issued if at least one of the following reasons applies to a user:

  • The user hasn't joined this wiki
  • The user has only one edit or post
  • The user hasn't violated any rules

A exception is if the user is a sockpuppet. To request that a user be blocked or to have a pre-existing block be reviewed, you can add a topic to an administrator's talk page. Users who believe they have been unfairly blocked can leave the administrator who blocked them a message on their Community Central message wall.

Protection rules

Main article: Count Duckula Wiki: Protected page

The majority of this wiki's content will remain unprotected to encourage all users to edit. Content will only be protected if necessary, such as for the following reasons:

  • Excessive vandalism
  • Excessive spamming
  • Edit warring
