Hermitcraft Wiki:Policies and Guidelines

The Hermitcraft Wiki is dedicated to being a highly reliable and useful resource for all information related to the Hermitcraft server, its members, and spin-off series. In order to achieve this, we require our contributors to follow a set of policies and guidelines documented here.

General rules

1. Keep it Hermitcraft related. All pages, except in sandboxes/user subpages, must be Hermitcraft related, whether its a Hermit page, an episode page, shop, or a mega base. This includes comments and discussion posts.
2. Do not reveal a Hermits' personal information unless it has been publicly shared on Youtube or on another one of their social medias. Exceptions to this rule can be found in the table below.
3. Follow the Fandom Terms of Use. This means that you must be at least 13 years old.
4. Do not spam, vandalize or otherwise edit disruptively. Alongside that, do not get involved in edit wars.
5. Keep your behavior civil and assume good faith. Do not harass, stalk, or insult anyone, nor make personal attacks to other people. Address the action, not the person behind it.
6. Avoid misleading readers and other editors. Make sure your contributions to articles are verifiable.
   1. Do not make edits or posts just to increase your edit/post count (also known as "badge-hunting" or "edit milking"). This is unfair to many users.
7. Do not advertise any fan communities or servers.
8. The wiki is not a file-hosting service. If an uploaded file is not integrated into a useful page soon after the upload, it may be deleted without notice. Uploading images for your userspace is allowed.
9. Accounts with offensive, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate usernames may be blocked indefinitely. This includes usernames that pretend to be a member of the Hermitcraft server.
10. Abuse of multiple accounts for block evasion or other circumvention of policy may result in these accounts being indefinitely blocked.
    1. An editor may have more than one account only if all accounts used by the editor are clearly marked.
    2. Conversely, each account should only be used by one person. If a group or organization wishes to edit on-wiki, each individual member that will be editing needs to create their own account.
11. Admins and mods get the final say, respect their decisions.

Personal information rules

We have reached out to the Hermits and asked them what information they'd be comfortable with us sharing on the wiki. Below is a table of the information they told us they would and would not be comfortable with us having on our site. Violation of their wishes for privacy will be met with appropriate action. Please respect the privacy of the Hermits.

If a Hermit is not included in this table, we have not been able to get in contact with them about their wishes for privacy. For these cases, assume that only information you can directly source from the Hermit themselves (social media, Youtube videos) is allowed.

Discussions rules

1. Follow the General Rules.
2. Keep drama (from other wikis, real life, etc) off of this wiki. It has no place here and will likely only stir up more fights and drama. This especially includes political discussions.
3. Nonsense posts and CAPS LOCK POSTS will be removed. Spam posts such as, but not limited to, "XD" or "lol" will be removed. This includes overusing gifs. Limit one gif per comment.
4. Do not comment on blog/discussion posts that are several months or years old (often referred to as "necrobumping") unless you are bringing something meaningful and/or relevant to the discussion.

Blocking Policy

Users may be blocked to prevent further damage or disruption to this wiki, not for punishment of a certain action. Depending of the severity of the action, a simple warning or a permanent block will be given.

In most cases, users are blocked due to:

• Persistent vandalism or spamming, or continuing to edit disruptively
• Recurring harassment, including hounding, personal or legal threats, posting of personal information, repeated messaging and ignoring their request to be left alone
• Continual edit warring
• Making a personal attack on another user
• Sockpuppetry

Blocks start at 24 hours and will increase depending on the context of a situation. If you want to appeal a block, see this help page on Community Central.

Page protection

The majority of pages on this wiki will remain unprotected to encourage all users to edit. Pages will only be protected if there is a specific need, such as:

• Vandalism has persisted over a long period of time
• Stopping an edit war
• Protect the proper display of the wiki (i.e. wiki logo, frequently used templates, the main page, policy pages, etc.)

General style guide

This sections aims to provide a general style guide for articles to follow. Note that this is a Work in progress. We will expand on this soon, clarify stuff and add multiple sections as nessecary.

Spelling

Hermitcraft related

Note that Discussion posts, comments, user pages and related are exempted from these rules. When in doubt, ask an admin.

• Do not capitalize the C in Hermitcraft. While most sources/videos write Hermitcraft as "HermitCraft", this wiki does not. Simply due to it being much cleaner and also matching "Minecraft" and other related names.
• Do not shorten Hermits' names in articles either. Not all people know who "TFC" or "Xisuma" is.
• When the word Hermit refers to a member of the Hermitcraft server, capitalize it.

General

• Do not use contractions in articles. (example: don't, won't, etc)
• For writing dates, use the UTC time zone. Alongside that, write dates in MMMM DD, YYYY. (Example: January 1, 2022)
• Write in third person. (use "the player" or "one" instead of "you")
• Use the straight apostrophe (') and quotation marks ("), not the curly ones (‘ ’ “ ”).
• Do not use the ampersand (&). Instead, spell out and.
• When a subject's gender is unknown or neither male nor female, use the singular they.
• Plural and possessive suffixes should be in links; however, punctuation should not.

Episodes

• Episode titles must be written as <Hermit>'s Season #: Episode # (e.g. MumboJumbo's Season 7: Episode 5).
• Use Arabic numerals (10, 20, 5) instead of Roman numerals (X, XX, V).
• Follow the proper layout, as seen in Template:Episode/preload

General formatting in articles

• Bold the title of the article.
• When updating the subscribers and followers amount, put a footnote down saying "Last Updated: <date>".
• Make use of headings so as to avoid long text walls.
  • Depending on the article, you could simply copy a related page and edit it as necessary. For example, if you are creating a page about Season 8, try copying from Season 7 and editing it as needed.

Feedback

If you want to provide feedback on the rules, please visit the editcopy which can be found at Hermitcraft Wiki:Policies and Guidelines/editcopy. Apply your edits, and an administrator will review.

The rules are mostly inspired by the Minecraft Wiki and Community Central.
