Venom Wiki:Policies and Guidelines

This page documents the |'s official policies and guidelines. Depending on the severity of the violation, failure to comply with these set of rules will result in either a warning or a temporary/permanent ban.

General Guidelines

 * Creation: When creating a new article, make sure the new page utilizes the appropriate infobox template. Incomplete pages should be marked as stubs. If the page does not pertain to the wiki's topic/was created as an effort to vandalize/an article with a similar or different title focusing on the subject of the new page already exists, it will be marked for deletion.
 * Naming: Articles that don't abide by our naming policy will be renamed accordingly.
 * Characters: "Name (Reality Number)" (e.g. Venom (Earth-96283)).
 * Films: "Title: Name" (e.g. Venom: Let There Be Carnage).
 * Comics: There are two types of pages pertaining to comics:
 * Comic runs: "Title (Year)" (e.g. Venom (2018))
 * Comic issue: "Title (Year)/Issue Number" (e.g. Venom (2018) #1)
 * Items: "Name (Reality Number)" (e.g. All-Black (Earth-616))


 * Editing: Spam editing/edit farming will result in a warning by one of our staff members. It is better to make more substantial edits of a larger degree rather than continuously making several small changes in one go.
 * Edit summary: It is recommended to complete an edit summary to provide contributors with a more clear understanding of what you changed in. However, please note that this is by no means mandatory.
 * Edit wars: "Edit waring" occurs when multiple users constantly revert each other's edits over a disagreement. If a user makes an edit that could be potentially harmful to the wiki, don't automatically assume the said user is purposely attempting to vandalize. Try to resolve edit wars as soon as possible by maintaining civility and being open to opposing opinions to formulate a consensus . If not, a staff member will be forced to step in.


 * Content: As a general note, plagiarism, speculation, and sensitive material is strictly prohibited. Instead, it is best to stick to confirmed information and objective facts. Pages should be easy-to-read and descriptive, written in an encyclopedic tone, and contain up-to-date knowledge. Those focusing on non-fictional topics (e.g. people, such as Tom Hardy) are typically written in the present tense, while those focusing on fictional topics should be written in the past tense (e.g. characters, such as Eddie Brock).
