This is a test layout of the new and simplififed PB Wiki Rules with 5 separate categories for test purposes. These new set of rules are still a WIP.

General Rules= The rules for this Wiki are as follows, please read them carefully:

Essential Rules

 * 1) Follow Fandom's Terms of Service. Do not encourage others to break Fandom's Terms of Service either.
 * 2) Use common sense and don't be a jerk - In other words, treat people with respect and how you'd like to be treated. This means no unironic insulting, baiting, xenophobia, insulting Fandom staff, imitating as another user, or insulting religious prophets/blasphemy (criticism is ok, but insulting isn't)
 * 3) Using discriminatory speech, especially homophobic and racist slurs is prohibited, as it violates Fandom's Terms of Service and will get you BANNED, whether locally or globally. Religious hate (Islamophobia, etc.) and ethnic hate (anti-Semitism, against Arabs, etc.) is also not allowed.
 * 4) Genocide denial; making fun of a user's depression/mental health; celebrating, justifying, or glorifying massacres is strictly forbidden and will result in a BAN.
 * 5) If the mods find out that you're raiding other wikis on behalf of this wiki, either through discovery or complaint by another wiki, you will be BANNED.
 * 6) Maliciously driving a user into leave the wiki hurts not only the person you're attacking, but also the wiki as it's difficult for us to bring them back here in terms of the process. Depending on the situation, this could possibly get you BANNED
 * 7) NSFW/NSFL or any disturbing content is strictly prohibited - Innunendos and very minor jokes are fine, but don't go flat out saying you're beating your meat. This rule also means linking sites that contain NSFW/NSFL, viruses, etc. are banned. BREAKING THIS RULE WILL ALMOST GUARANTEE A BAN
 * 8) Sexual discussion, along with posting a lot of cringy pictures (esp. with minor disgusting stuff), "scary" and "disturbing" pictures, or images that could be a health hazard (i.e. epilepsy), while not immediately bannable, are still punishable
 * 9) Don't start drama or bring up past drama - This basically means no shitflinging at other users, unironically accusing users (without proof) of being alts/underage, doing things solely for self-glorification, or contesting valid punishments outside of DMs. When mods punish users, they have a reason.
 * 10) Unironic political soapboxing, unfunny walls of text, and long lectures are not allowed in article comments.
 * 11) Polandball is meant to be satirical and joking insults are expected, especially from comics. Be civil and don't take anything too seriously. "If you can't take it, don't dish it".
 * 12) If you are unhappy with how the wiki is run please say what you don't like about it and staff will try to fix it. Trying to start a coup, declare war against the wiki, or sending false reports to VSTF will get you BANNED.
 * 13) While anyone can make wikis, please keep them as distinct from this wiki as possible, as meta wikis (i.e. wikis about PB Wiki users) are prohibited. If someone is caught making one, they will have 24 hours to "close" the wiki or ask Fandom to close it or face a PERMANENT BAN.
 * 14) Do not doxx other users whatsoever - This is self-explanatory and is a BANNABLE OFFENSE.
 * 15) Users must be 13 to be on this wiki as per Fandom's Terms of Service. However, pressuring a user to reveal their age when they declined to do so is punishable.
 * 16) Spam is absolutely forbidden - Again, self-explanatory.
 * 17) Vandalism and making sockpuppets ("alts") to evade punishment will not be tolerated and will result in a heavy BAN.
 * 18) Do not minimod - Just because you think you know the rules doesn't mean you've any right to enforce them. If someone is misbehaving, let the mods know and they will resolve the issue. Using all caps is unnecessary.
 * 19) This server is a direct extension of the Polandball Wiki and it's community. A ban here, regardless of duration, will warrant the same punishment on the other - If you get banned here, you also get banned on the Companyball Wiki, PWSC Wiki, and Chinese PB Wiki under this rule.

Userpage Rules

 * 1) Do not add hate speech about other users.
 * 2) Do not add enemies in your infobox user or profile page.
 * 3) Do not edit userpages other than your own, unless you have permission from said user to edit their userpage.
 * 4) Do not include things in your userpage (categories, infobox info etc.) section that indicates homophobia or racism.
 * 5) If a mod notices an alt, a navbox indicating that account is an alt of a particular user will be added. This navbox can't be removed by anyone except for the mods and removal by any other user will lead to a BAN.

Blogpost Rules

 * 1) Do not create blogposts for unironic political soapboxing.
 * 2) Do not make blogposts for baiting users or causing drama among the wiki.
 * 3) Do not spam or create nonsense blogposts ("clogposts")
 * 4) Do not create blogposts that solely have an image made by another user other than yourself

Forum Rules

 * 1) All Polandball Wiki competitions and events are sanctioned by the mods. If you want to start a competition, talk with the mods about it and they'll see if they can fit in your event. Unsanctioned events will be removed with possible consequences for the host.
 * 2) Do not create too much Mapping Games.
 * 3) Spamming games are not allowed (counting games, etc.)


 * -|Image Rules=


 * 1) When uploading an image of a countryball, make sure the countryball doesn't use circle-tool, line-tool, curve tool, brush tool and copy-paste. The exception to this is if it is your Wiki avatar, although it is discouraged.
 * 2) If you upload an image, comic, or artwork that was made by another user (Wikia, Reddit, etc.) other than yourself, please give credit to that user in the image's description.
 * 3) You can use any painting program that has the ability to draw countryballs and not just MS Paint (Paint.NET, Photoshop, GIMP, etc.).


 * -|Page Rules=
 * 1) Vandalizing is not allowed in any way or form.
 * 2) Edit warring on any pages is not allowed.
 * 3) Do not make a page of a fictional country you made up.
 * 4) Do not make a page of something that isn't/wasn't a political entity (country, city, state, etc.). This means militaries, select terrorist organizations, political parties, fictional countries, etc. cannot be made into a page.
 * 5) Do not add spam/duplicate categories.
 * 6) Only wiki moderators can change the gender of a countryball.
 * 7) Changing the infobox image of a countryball that already has an infobox image is only allowed with approval from a moderator.
 * 8) Do not add a family section on a countryball page. There's already the relations section.
 * 9) If a page needs to be cleaned up, please add the "Cleanup" category.
 * 10) If a page has propaganda, misspelling or just has horrible formating, please add the  template.
 * 11) If a page contents that will change (e.g.: ISISball, USAball) make sure to add
 * 12) If a page needs to be deleted please add the  template but please don't remove the contents of the page, the admins need to check what the page was about before deleting it.
 * 13) If a page has 5 or more templates, it is OK to have the combination template, so the templates of that page are all in one single expandable template. If a page has 4 or less templates, the page's templates are separate from each other and the combination template is not allowed.
