This is subject to change without notice.
 
We encourage volunteers and community members to help us expand the Wiki. However, there are a couple of guidelines you need to know before editing. These are different from the rules of Roblox, but are still expected to be followed. Maintaining the Wiki is a lot of work. Follow these and we won't have a problem:
 
*Don't edit the Wiki if...
 
**You can't string a coherent sentence together.
**You have a question to ask, post it on the forum or discussion for that page.
**You can't spell correctly.
**You can't use proper grammar.
**You are otherwise going to make an idiot edit.
**You don't understand any of the words in this guideline.
 
=='''You will be instantly banned if you...'''==
 
*Break any [http://www.roblox.com/info/TermsOfService.aspx Roblox rules].
*Call people names.
*Spam in general.
*Posting offensive material.
*Post hacking related messages.
*Do something we feel is harmful.
 
==='''Make sure that a similar page doesn't already exist.'''===
 
This is becoming a major problem here. We don't need 50 scripting tutorials or the like. If a similar page already exists, then you don't need to make a new one. If you want to edit a duplicate page, put it as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Subpage user subpage].
 
==='''Don't make user-place specific pages'''===
 
If you make a page that is about a specific place, person, website (other than Roblox), creation, model, etc, it will be removed. See the [[Player Created]] page for a list of locations to put these things. You can also add these as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Subpage user subpages], but <b>NOT ARTICLES</b>!
 
==='''This isn't MySpace.'''===
 
No personal pages other than userpages. If you want to advertise your place, post it in the forum, not here.
 
==='''Evading Bans'''===
 
Any attempt to evade a ban by making a new account will result in a permanent ban. If we catch you, we're banning your main account as well. Don't do it.
 
==='''Project Pages'''===
 
Do not edit or make these unless you have been instructed to. "Project Pages" have "ROBLOX Wiki:" before the name. Feel free to comment on their discussion pages.
 
=='''Discussion Pages'''==
 
Discussing pages for articles are not meant to be filled with personal drama. They're for the discussion of that page.  Take care of your personal business elsewhere (like your talk page), but not there. So, if someone called you a noob the other day, and you see his comment, do put anything pertaining to that on the page. In other words, don't say "UR A NOOB."
 
=='''Assistance'''==
 
If you need any help, feel free to ask any of [http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=sysop these people.]
 
One more thing. If you're here to cause trouble your account on Roblox will be traced and you will get yourself a ban. So if you just want to be funny don't do it here.
