This page is under construction
The following page is a list of rules and regulations that concern creating new pages and edits for CarBot Animations' StarCrafts, WowCraft, HeroStorm, etc., starting topics, online chats, and comments, and contributing information and facts on this wiki.
Do's
Since it is free for anyone to create new pages, contribute information, and add trivia, this wiki concerns general information about CarBot Animations's cartoon series. Here is a list of rules when editing a page:
Page Editing
- Follow the episode template here.
- There are different episode information templates for StarCrafts, WowCraft, HeroStorm, DiabLoL, etc. As they have their own links to a list of episodes and their color identity to series.
- Italicize original game titles, company, and main CarBot Animations projects.
- The subject of every article in the first paragraph should be bold.
- Mentioning an episode on trivia should be written between two quotation marks, and it should have a hyperlink once per page section (e.g.: "Probelem", "The Creation", "Aspire to Inspire", etc.)
- Mentioning a unit and character should also have a hyperlink once per page section so that a user will know who it is and where the unit originally comes from (StarCraft Wiki, World of WarCraft Wiki, etc)
- To contributors, if you wish to create your own page (to fix the red links) or rename an existing page, even with disambiguation reasons, leave suggestions and ideas to CarBot Animations Wiki's creator TargonRedDragon on the message wall.
- Proper spelling, grammar, and use of words are very important on all pages. The composition should be formal for general knowledge about the article's topic.
- If you have difficulties in writing page articles under every section and topic, leave a request to CarBot Animations Wiki's creator TargonRedDragon on the message wall.
Article Requirements
- Episodes
- A plot summary is required for every episode of the series. It should be detailed enough in every scene from the beginning to the plot and finally, the ending, Characters that are featured in the episode should be mentioned. Cameos should not be added literally as they are not part of the story. Enlist cameos only under the "Characters" list section since they're just part of the special appearance and easter egg.
- Trivia is also needed in order to let people know the episode connections, episode references, in-game references, and inside jokes on every episode.
- Units
- Units are under the "Characters" section, even if they are unnamed. They are the most significant part of the episode.
- Characters
- List of episodes
- Every CarBot Animations series should have a list of episodes. Whenever there are new episodes, add a new row on the lowermost table of "List of [cartoon series] Episodes" and the lowermost section of the latest season (Except for below the "special series of episodes" such as "Heroes of the Dorm").
Image Use
Images such as official art from CarBot Animations, StarCrafts Mod (and StarCraft: Cartooned) unit/building sprites and gameplay screenshots, and screen-capped stills from CarBot shorts are also welcomed in CarBot Animations's gallery. File extension formats such as .jpg, .png, and .gif are allowed. As part of the CarBot fandom community, you may post your CarBot fan arts in Wiki's gallery and they should be displayed on your own user page if you are its artist.
If you want to use images in episode pages, characters, and unit/building articles, be sure to use screen-capped videos that focus on a unit or building. Be sure to crop away the insignificant parts of the screenshot with better alignment and composition around the character, unit, or building.
Comment Sections/Forums
Comments are all welcomed on every page. However, there are rules pertaining to the public comment section and forums so be sure to follow them as shown:
- Be polite to each other, even though you live in a specific place.
- Be open-minded to each other's opinions. Opinions are user's comments under his or her ideas that don't affect the CarBot Animations.
- You can edit your comment if you are unsure about what you have written.
- Do write your comments with correct English grammar and composition. Avoid using foreign languages because it would confuse other native users.
- When you start a forum, be sure to write a title and description well so that every user will understand what to reply with threads.
Don't's
Strictly said, there are things that users shouldn't do for users, even if you have freedom of speech. Violating the "don't's" would cause chaos and distrust with other users and administrators:
Page Editing
- When you are to create a new page, do not leave the article blank, especially an inadequate amount of information. The administrators will have to spend their time and energy completing the pages.
- Do not make an episode page in your own style. Every episode article should be harmonious and repetitive as shown here.
- The same goes for other general information pages such as character info, places, and objects of interest.
- Do not capitalize the unit names and races except the Blizzard's heroes, characters, and places.
- Vandalism is forbidden as it is commonly against literary rules. Do not post unwanted stories, quotes, and off-topic articles.
- Do not use first-person "I" for every article when it pertains to viewers and CarBot Animations fans.
- Do not overuse/repeat words to avoid wordiness and the repetition of word usage.
- Misspelling, incorrect use of words, and poor grammar is a no-no to every Wiki, even if they are unintentional. Leaving them saved on the article page is strictly forbidden as it is reprehensively considered intentional.
Image Use
Do not use unofficial images such as fan arts and doodles from other artists other than CarBot Animations on Wiki articles that describe characters, units/buildings, or episodes. These are not part of the official CarBot portfolio and artistic style, so please keep those images with you or on other art websites like DeviantArt, Pinterest, ArtStation, etc.
Comment Sections/Forums
However, aside from being polite and courteous when leaving comments and posts on threads, there are still requirements when attempting to start topics and discussions within the community fandom:
- Do not write spam or leave unwanted advertisements about different topics outside Blizzard Entertainment. This wiki is not a place for comment trolls, internet adverts, etc.
- Do not start a flame war by comparing CarBot Animations to another parody series created by someone else, to a video game StarCraft, World of WarCraft, Heroes of the Storm, etc., and to their original, canon stories.
- These cartoons are made for fun, NOT for making fun of Blizzard Entertainment's video games.
- Never use swear words and foul languages. It would insult not only the Fandom users but also the administrators.
