This page documents an official Happy Tree Friends Wiki policy.
The guidelines on this page should be followed by all editors at all times.

The Happy Tree Friends Wiki Policy is a set of guidelines for editing on this wiki, image galleries, discussion, etc. This policy helps ensure the stability, consistency, and professionalism of the wiki.

Editing

To edit on the Happy Tree Friends Wiki, you must be a registered user on this wiki. Without registering, you are unable to edit, upload or discuss with users. After registering you are able to edit on this wiki. However, to maintain quality, you can:

  • Press the "Show Preview" button to see how the article would appear before publishing. This is especially useful when you need to edit in advanced source codes to avoid code errors that may cause problems or avoid unnecessary red links.
  • Check all typos you made. The easiest way to find all typos is to enable Spelling Check functions. Normally, some browsers like Google Chrome have already build-in Spelling check function by default. Note some names like "Lifty" will be marked as a typo by default as it is a character name instead of being a proper word. As a result, you may want to add it into your browser's spelling check dictionary to prevent to begin marked as a typo again.
  • Leave a summary before publishing to avoid confusing or making mistakes to other users. (Optional)

Visual Editing

Visual Editing is a editing mode for novice users or users who don't have experience with the Source mode. While it seems useful, it should not be used excessive times due to extra redundant codes such as <span style> which will often block other source codes and HTML link instead of Wiki link. Using the Source mode will also reduce the time needed to load a page due to fewer source codes whatever in Visual mode will add a lot of codes. It also gives the users who are preferred to edit in Source mode less problems.

Vandalism

Vandalism is when someone makes inappropriate edits on the wiki and is defined as any edits made out of bad faith, which is a prohibited behavior on any wiki communities. This includes:

  • Adding inappropriate or nonsensical words to articles
  • Emptying pages
  • Creating spam
  • Intentionally changing correct information
  • Uploading inappropriate, pornographic, or spam images.

Users who commit "minor" vandalism should be warned first. Should they continue vandalizing articles after their first warning, they will be blocked afterwards once an admin has noticed it. Users who commit large amount of vandalism will be blocked without any warnings.

Note: Even if you undo your own bad edit, you will still get a warning once an admin sees it.

Bolster Edit Count

In the interest of contributing, please refrain from making unnecessary edits to pages, such as adding (then immediately removing) dashes, spaces, and characters just to bolster your edit count. This will not only spam the Wiki Activity page, but it will also waste the staff's time to watch such useless edits. If such kind of behavior is detected on the wiki, you will be warned by the admins on this wiki.
This rule also encompasses editing only your profile without making any productive edits or actually being part of the wiki community for about a month overall. If you are found to be doing this, you will be warned, and if you keep doing it, you will be blocked.

Images

Main article: Happy Tree Friends Wiki:Policy/Images

The only image format allowed is .png, as it has no compression artifacts and supports transparency. Every image uploaded to the Happy Tree Friends wiki must be .png. All episode images should be 1080p resolution. 720p is the lowest acceptable episode image size. Any smaller will be removed or replaced. The Happy Tree Friends Wiki is not an image hosting website. If an image is unrelated to the Happy Tree Friends series or the actual wiki it is considered an inappropriate image and should not be uploaded here. The following are examples of inappropriate images. All images uploaded to the wiki are subject to consideration by admin and any image deemed inappropriate to the wiki will be removed at the admin's discretion. If a user insists on uploading personal images, an image hosting website like [[1]] can be used and linked on the user's page. Few fan-arts, or non-real life images are allowed, to up 10 images if you have contributed for more than one months. This restrictions does not apply for normal images however.

Gallery

Main article: Happy Tree Friends Wiki:Policy/Images

Every character and episodes have it own gallery page. These page are created to prevent lagging on a page, and to prevent the page from being flooded with images.

Discussions/Comments

Main article: Happy Tree Friends Wiki:Policy/Discussion

Anyone can leave a message on someone's wall when they have a question, small discussions, and/or need help. Once a message has been sent to someone, a notification will appear in the top-right next to their user name. In most cases, these users will help you by replying to your message. Do NOT put a rude message on someone's message wall. Although mature language is sometimes allowed on the wiki, offending people is not permitted.

Block

Main article: Happy Tree Friends Wiki:Policy/Block

Being blocked is mostly after a user (whether they're registered or not) commits inappropriate behavior on this wiki. Normally, users will be warned before issuing an block. Should they ignore the warning or continue committing bad behavior on the wiki, that user will be blocked by an Admin on this wiki. The more serious the offense, the longer the block will last.

Videos

Videos are allowed but only when they are related to the Happy Tree Friends series. Any videos that is unrelated to the series will be deleted. The exception is in your user page. Users with special rights (Bureaucrat, Admin and Rollback) have limit to 5 videos while users without any special rights maximum up to 2. Note, videos must not be offensive videos (not to be confused as funny/joke videos) or they will be deleted.
