SAS Zombie Assault Wiki:Rules and Guidelines

The SAS: Zombie Assault Wiki aims to create a knowledgeable and expansive encyclopedia on all things regarding the series of zombie-shooting and brain-eating! This wiki is made by and for gamers, and we're always looking to improve! One such thing necessary for keeping this wiki clean and leaving it open to improvement is having a set of guidelines and rules in place in order to place necessary limits on what all users can and cannot do.

This wiki has certain guidelines regarding editing, the chat function, and general conduct. Other things are also covered in this page. Be aware that these rules are official, and you are expected to follow every single one to the best of your ability, with no exceptions. Failure to comply with these rules can get you blocked, especially if you aren't very new to this place.

Editing
These are the rules for which you must refer when editing:

English language only: This wiki is an English wiki, specifically American English (color instead of colour, etc), so that is the language we ask you to use in the articles.

Use proper Spelling and Grammar: Although we understand that English can be difficult as a second language and that people make mistakes all the time, we do ask you to make your best effort to obey the rules of Standard English. This means that slang words should be kept out of articles and that proper conventions are used.

Suspend Opinions and Comparison: This wiki is an encyclopedia. The articles regarding certain weapons should not include opinions or comparisons to other guns in them.

Examples:

Opinion: The Hornet is one of the best guns in SAS 4.

Fact: The Hornet is one of the most sought-after guns in SAS 4, with one of the highest DPSs in the game, an unnoticeable movement penalty, and sniper masteries that boost firepower more than other weapon classes.

The second example uses nothing but facts and impartially presents reasons why the Hornet is "good." The first example is an opinion; although many people like the Hornet, some may not see it that way.

Assume Good Faith: To assume good faith is to always initially assume that someone editing, unless clearly vandalizing, is only trying to improve the article and has pure intentions. This helps avoid edit warring and flame, and creates a welcoming environment for new users. Always assume and editor, when not vandalizing, is editing in good faith, even if they may bend the above rules a little.

No Edit warring: Edit warring is when two or more users get into an argument over something in an article. Often times, they will constantly revert each other's edits. Edit warring is a waste of time. Instead of pointlessly arguing with someone, try and reach a compromise over you disagreement. If no compromise can be agreed to, then a "nobody wins" approach will be taken and the controversial information will be omitted entirely.

No pictures or speculation of unreleased content: Hacking and decompiling the game is against Ninja Kiwi's terms of service. Do not add pictures of any unreleased or unannounced content, or put speculation of such articles. Although some unreleased pages technically violate this rule, it will simply be this way from now on.

'VANDALISM: Vandalism is the intentional defamation of a page by removing or replacing parts of the article with nonsense. Vandalizing articles is completely intolerable and will result in an IMMEDIATE one-year ban, NO EXCEPTIONS. '

Other policies will be added to this page as they are discussed by the community.
