Rules & Guidelines

We are an open & welcoming community for everyone who loves the Minecraft map. However, like any good open & welcoming community, we also have rules to make sure we stay that way. Please adhere to these rules at all times.

General Rules

 * No trolling. Do not make any accounts for the sole purpose of trolling and do not troll. This site is supposed to be formal and informational.
 * No harassment. Welcome everyone and make them feel at home. Do NOT harass them. Harassment includes, but isn't limited to: Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, Transphobia, or any sort of hate speech. If you witness it going on, please report it to staff. DO NOT reply to anyone who harasses you. While we understand wanting to stick up for yourself, please note that this frequently leads to flamewars or heated arguments and only gives them what they wanted in the first place. Especially heated flamewars may lead to punishment for both accounts, so please don't participate in them.
 * No irrelevant adult content. This includes topics such as Drugs, Alcohol, Sex or Gambling. This is supposed to be a strictly informational space, where everyone no matter the age can read and feel safe. Note that the rule is irrelevant adult content. Unsolicited conversations about Gambling, for example, are disallowed; however, in the context of a Casino, where Gambling is a relevant topic, it may be talked about informatively.

Creating Pages

 * Before creating a page check to see if it already exists. Should be self explanatory, but there doesn't need to be 3 pages for the town of Briar Valley. If you have new information to add, edit it into the preexisting page.
 * Name your page right. Naming should simply be the name of what you're describing if it's something concrete, like a town or building. A general rule of thumb is that if you can't find a name, find the address (e.g 3 Redbridge Way). If you can't find the address, then it probably isn't relevant enough for an article.
 * Make relevant articles. Before making an article, ask yourself "does this need an article?". If it's a random, 2-story apartment building, then it probably doesn't need an entire article devoted to it and can be acknowledged in a page about it's neighborhood. Generally, articles should be about something a person would notice, such as a tall skyscraper or a station.
 * Have good grammar. Pages written poorly are hard and annoying to read; try and include good punctuation, spelling, grammar, and try and split your text into paragraphs so it's easier to read. If you're a non-native speaker of English, or are just unsure about your grammar, feel free to use a site such as Grammarly to check it for you.

Editing Pages

 * Check if what you want to put into the page is in that page, OR ON ANY OTHER PAGE. Repeating information is noticeable and can hurt the quality of a page. A helpful tip is looking for keywords using ctrl + F (in Google Chrome). For example, let's say you want to note a shop sells coffee. Try searching 'coffee' and see if any results come up. If not, check if it's listed anywhere else (it may not be on "Bob's Café", but is it on "List of drinks Café's in Newisle sell"?). If you can't find it anywhere, feel free to add it!
 * Cite your sources! When writing and editing articles, make sure you show where you got your information. If there are no reliable sources, your edit may be revoked. There's many different kinds of sources, but please note that word-of-mouth sources ("This guy told me this thing!") are considered unreliable. Reliable sources are screenshots, videos, and words from Blip Noir (the map creator).
 * Explain your edits. Whether huge or tiny, we need to know what you actually changed. If you aren't clear enough, your edit can be revoked.
