Rules

Rules for participating in MOGAI wiki
This is the list of rules that all members must follow. Failure to follow these rules may result in being banned.

Attacking / fighting
We do not tolerate fighting, mocking, insulting, harassing, or otherwise harming any members of the wiki. If you attack or fight anyone for any reason, you will be immediately banned regardless of role. Complaints about identities, entries, or other members should be sent privately to a bureaucrat on the discord server and will be decided upon in a formal manner. This includes:
 * Spreading rumors or making public claims (good or bad) without permission
 * Arguing over the inclusion of an identity/flag publicly (send your complaint to a bureaucrat on the discord server)
 * Mocking a member's typing or writing style. If you think the writing style is informal- rewrite it!
 * Trying to get somebody to continue arguing, whether intended or not (putting fuel on the fire).

Before editing pages
Before editing pages you should: -Consult the style manual. -Take a look at a few pages to know our conventions. -Make sure you name the page correctly! Once you name a page only a sysop can rename it. Before adding new files you should: -Check that the same or similar file has not already been uploaded. -Follow this naming format: {Type of media. E.g. "flag" or "infographic"} by {name or username of creator}.{type of file}. If you cannot find the name of the creator after researching, say "by unknown".

Unrelated content
Posting or talking about unrelated content repeatedly (4+ times) may result in a ban. This includes:
 * Voicing your opinion of any identity or flag anywhere on the wiki
 * Discussion of anything that isn't a MOGAI identity
 * Discussion of the beliefs of a creator of an identity/flag for more than one sentence anywhere on the wiki. You may also not claim that the creator has been confirmed to believe something unless they have explicitly said it (and if they have, link to that statement). For example, you may say "The creator of this flag is widely believed to be racist", but you cannot say "The creator of this flag is racist. They're a bad person, and you should not use their work."

Obviously harmful identities
Identities attempting to condone, celebrate, or normalize pedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia, hatred of certain groups, etc. are not tolerated. Attempting to submit one as a page in the wiki will lead to you being immediately banned. To make it clear, this wiki is an attempt to organize and list every MOGAI term unless it is similarly harmful to what is on that list. There will inevitably be at least one identity that you don't like or disagree with, but unless it is obviously harmful to everyone, that is not a reason to remove it from the wiki. Please note: the wiki (meaning all of its writers, editors, and contributors) takes no position or stance on the validity of any terms. We are completely neutral, and participating in this wiki does not mean you endorse (or don't endorse) these terms. This is simply an attempt to catalog terms.

Cursing
Do not curse outside of mild curse words. This wiki is intended to be viewed by children as well as adults.

Extensions while editing
Various extensions have caused issues and bugs when editing using MediaWiki. Grammarly, for example, causes all contents of a page to be deleted after an editor saves their work. Unless absolutely necessary to edit (for example, read allowed extensions for low vision people) disable your extensions before editing anything.

Author credits
When you create, add an image to, or significantly edit a page, add your username at the top of the page. Do not delete any author credits. Credit for the creator of a term or flag should follow the first use of that term or flag. If the person who created the term or flag does not have a social media platform to use as credit, use their full name or provide a link to their Wikipedia page.
 * When crediting yourself for writing part of a page, use this format- Contributions by: [other contributor], [other contributor], [your username]
 * When crediting the creator of a term, use this format- Term coined by [username] on [platform]
 * When crediting the creator of a flag, use this format- Flag created by [username] on [platform]

Age restrictions
The MOGAI wiki can be viewed by anyone, but the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) states that those under 13 years old may not have an account. If we find that you are under 13 and have an account, you will be blocked until you turn 13. Please visit the discord server and ask a bureaucrat to be unblocked.

That's everything! Please have fun and keep the rules in mind :)
