These are my proposed rules of Candy Crush Saga Wiki, most of them are from one of my most edited wiki - Wild Ones Wiki. Feel free to suggest changes! :D

Rules of Candy Crush Saga Wiki:

=Basic rules= 1. Do not post any mild, obscene or inappropriate language; including discriminating, hateful, threatening, racist, sexist, slanderous or homophobic speech or imagery.

2. Do not post derogatory comments or attacks against other people or groups. No harassing.

3. Do not post nudity, overtly sexual, copyrighted images or speech, and symbols of hatred of any kind.

4.  Please create new threads in the appropriate forum , and use a descriptive title. Stay on topic unless you want to say something else, go to Off Topic or post it in Trivia section. Thread locations and titles may be changed by the staff (or our co-rollbacks, rollbacks, administrators and bureaucrats) to more accurately reflect the topic being discussed.

Appealing difficulty
In case if you want to appeal the difficulty, please leave a comment in the corresponding page below, we can follow the message and make suitable actions. Remember - this page is imperfect because we don't know what everyone will think.

Commenting rules

 * No spam - no spam messages or articles. You'll be asking to be blocked or banned.
 * Inappropriate language must be kept to a minimum - remember that this is a PG rated site. Do not use profanity or swearing for attacking others, you only use it as a non-serious, practical joke to make others laugh. And it at least should be censored in some way (e.g. @$$, f*ck, sh*t, etc.).
 * No off topic - Do not post off topic comments on pages. For example: Don't say "Candy bombs are the worst" in Locked Candies page as it is irrelevant.
 * No inappropriate images - no images of sexual activity or nudity.
 * This isn't Wikipedia - please do not create links to articles that do not exist and do not pertain to Wild Ones. Also, please do not create articles that have nothing to do with Wild Ones.
 * When commenting, put your responses or new comments in the right place - if you are replying to a comment, put your reply on the right comment; when making a new comment, make it a new comment, not a reply to someone else's comment. You can be easily accused of spamming if you don't follow any of these.

Corresponding pages
List of jelly levels, list of objective levels etc. can be seen in this wiki. Do not edit the difficulty by yourself as you have not consulted anyone. If you do, please feel free to discuss this issue below the comment and leave a link, so we can follow. As we unblock this page because these pages are incomplete, please assume good faith and help us edit.

Basic information
Basic information can be edited freely and we are welcome to see more information.

Difficulty details
Do not delete a point unless it is redundant or irrelevant. If you find another difficulty, please add one as a point. A point can help decide whether the level is hard or not.

Strategy
Feel free to add more strategy as we may not know whether your strategy works or not. We all know that strategy varies in different people. We are welcome to see more strategy.

Difficulty
The most controversial part is difficulty. Revolution now stops at level 111. Levels 111 or below should be discussed and not to be edited freely. Levels 111 or above can be edited freely but when the revolution starts again, by Wildoneshelper, you have to appeal the difficulty. There will be a 3-day discussion. After that, the most votes will decide the difficulty. Please feel free to appeal in Template talk:Levels or in forums.

Protecting
Never protect a page whenever there is edit disputes. Block them when there are vandalism. Edit dispute should be solved by communication. Blocking them means you are not handling the problem. This also adds anger to the one who does not agree with your edit. Find a way to discuss the issue in a peaceful way.

Blocking
Blocking is only for blocking people who vandalize the wiki. Blocking people who are activists are an act of suppression. If you find disagreements, please feel free to contact them and compromise.

Manners
If you find disagreement, always handle it with good manner. Discuss the problem in a good way.

Promoting
Promote a user when he has a lot of contribution, opinions and even a lot of disagreement with you. Do not give bureaucrat rights to him unless you trust the user for a lot of times. Administrators should be chosen by voting method. Voting period should last for 2 days. Rollbacks should be chosen by bureaucrats alone.

Other pages
We are welcome to see edits as the wiki is owned by the community. No vandalism should be seen.

Template:Levels, Template:EpisodesNav, Template:Navbox 2
These navigation templates should be handled with care as any careless or unfamiliar inserted syntax will ruin the whole template. If this happens, we are sorry to revert the edit but we will try our best to review the edit you want to add, remove or simply just edit.

You are responsible for knowing the rules as they are written. These rules are not meant to be all encompassing, and Candy Crush Saga Wiki reserves the right to interpret the rules and moderate the wiki at their own discretion. It is important that you review these rules regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes. Should you have any questions, please re-read the rules before posting or contact one of the administrators in this wiki. Thank you for your co-operation.
