<!--T:4-->

*Do not create pages that are useless to the wiki.
*Add a photo to every page that needs one, but do not make double photos.

<!--T:5-->
==Usernames==
When choosing your username, do '''''NOT''''':
*Make it out of just numbers
*Have any harsh language in it.
You should choose a username that means something to you.

<!--T:8-->
===Socking===
'''Socking '''is when someone creates a different account and uses it to insult other users or behave inappropriately, these types of accounts are known as ''sockpuppets''. If this happens, see below for the banning rules.

<!--T:6-->
==New information==
When a new update or feature is privately announced, refrain from adding information to the wiki until its official unveiling through sources such as official social media posts, or when the game itself undergoes an update. This policy is in place to mitigate leaks and maintain confidentiality. It is preferable to wait for a one-week  period before adding the new information into the wiki. Leaks are ''strictly prohibited''.
