Community

  • Always assume good faith. This is the assumption that all edits made on this wiki are made with the intent to improve it. Avoid outright reverting edits that seem to have been made in good faith unless it is very obvious vandalism. If you must do so, explain why, either in the edit summary or on the user's message wall.
  • Do not be a "biter". A "biter" is someone who attacks newcomers for bad edits, particularly their first or second ones. This scares away potentially valuable contributors. Treat newbies with respect, and if they make a bad edit, politely explain what was wrong with it.
  • Be respectful - avoid harassing or trolling other users, as it usually leads to a long drawn out argument that tends to end with all participants getting banned.

Comment section

  • Do not spam. "Spam" is unwanted or unnecessary messages, like advertisements, long comments, or "I like cheese". Spam can also be considered posting the same message three or more times in a row.
    • Use common sense when deciding what types of comments could be considered spam.
  • Do not incite drama. This includes:
    • Grief slinging (I'm miserable, so you should be miserable too!)
    • Inferiority complex (I am useless!)
  • Keep it clean. Please forego the use of profanity.

Message wall

  • Same rules apply from comment section.
  • Do not harrass or verbally abuse people on their message wall. This will lead to an immediate block.

Blog posts

  • Nearly all the same rules apply from comment section.

Badges

Badges are little online trophies awarded for certain feats, like commenting on blogs. Though they are there for fun, doing something for the sake of earning a badge is highly discouraged, and can even get you blocked. Examples of blockable offenses include:

  • Making useless blogs.
  • Spamming the forums and message walls.
  • Adding one letter per publish.

Basically, you should edit to improve the wiki, not for pixels.

User pages

  • Never edit someone else's user page, unless reverting vandalism from someone else. User pages are personal, and should not be edited by other users. Admins are exempt from this rule, as they may be doing maintenance or removing offensive content.

Discussions

The Discussions area is the place where fans and editors can discuss about the game and things that concern the wiki. Just remember:

  • Do not spam.
  • Do not harrass or abuse other users.
  • Do not link to obscene images or websites.
  • Do not use profanity.

Editing

Editing Articles

  • Unverifiable and ludicrous content is not to be added to pages, nor is speculation.
  • Vandalizing a page is a serious offense, and will result in an appropriate punishment depending on the severity.
  • Be sure that your changes make sense and flow with the article smoothly, especially when working with complex code. One tiny error in coding can mess up an entire page. Always use the preview button before publishing.
  • Do not plagiarize. We must request that any content you may submit, if not originally written by you, be used with permission and be credited appropriately where possible.
    • As stated on the Empire Earth Heaven website, content on that site is copyrighted and should not be copied over here.
  • For information on our article style, please see our Manual of Style

Images

  • When you add images to an article, be sure they are of high quality, e.g. not pixelated. The .png and .jpg format is also widely acceptable.
  • Uploading images unrelated to Empire Earth is allowed, but obscene and violent ones are not under any circumstances. In addition, none of these images should be added to any of the official pages.
  • Be sure to read the Image Policy page for more information.

Categories

  • Do not make useless/unnecessary categories. Categories are meant to organize articles in the wiki for the convenience of editors. Categories like the following do no such thing:
    • "Unit" when there is already a category called "Units" - adding this category accomplishes nothing.
