§2 Editing Conduct
 * Vandalism, Spam, Advertising and disruptive editing are not allowed.
 * Avoid posting off-topic content.
 * Avoid misleading readers and other editors by making sure your contributions to articles are verifiable. Do not add parody content, or hoaxes to articles.
 * Do not link or embed external videos in articles, unless there is no other way to demonstrate the phenomenon, or the video is official.
 * Defamatory or false content is not tolerated on this Wiki.

§3 Blocking
 * A user can be blocked if they commit any of the following actions and do not comply after being asked to by a Wiki Administrator:
 * Vandalism, Spamming
 * Advertising

§4 Communication Standards
 * Be respectful to everyone.
 * Harassment, insults and personal attacks are not tolerated. Keep discussion as civil as possible.

§5 Speculative Content
 * Avoid posting speculative content on the Wiki. This includes leaked content.
 * The Wiki Administrators reserve the right to delete any content not confirmed by BHVR from the Wiki.

§6 Article and File Deletions
 * We are not a file-hosting service. If an image is uploaded and not integrated into a useful article soon after, we reserve the right to delete it without notice.
 * Articles that do not meet the standards described here may also be deleted.

§7 Edit Warring
 * A contributor must not perform more than three reversions, in whole or in part, to a single Dead by Daylight Wiki article within a 24 hour period.
 * This does not imply that reverting three times or fewer is acceptable.
 * For the purpose of counting reverts, these are excluded:
 * reverting your own changes
 * fixing simple vandalism
 * removing posts by a banned user
 * reverting edits clearly not adding anything to the article
 * reverting edits to your user pages
 * Using alternate accounts to bypass this rule is also a violation of policy.
 * In case users progressively revert changes from one another more than three times, the affected article will be locked until the users reach consensus.
 * The consequences of breaking this rule are decided on a case-by-case basis, but can result in a block if the Wiki Administrators deem it necessary.

§8 External Links
 * Links to other Wikis and to external websites not related to Dead by Daylight or BHVR are generally not allowed. Exceptions to this rule are decided on a case-by-case basis.

§9 Vandalism
 * Vandalism includes:
 * Removing valid content without explanation or an explanation that makes no sense.
 * Posting items strictly forbidden by these rules.
 * Adding any kind offensive words, terms or phrases to articles.
 * Adding gibberish/nonsense to articles.

§10 Copyrighted Material
 * Uploading copyrighted material which is in blatant violation of fair use is not permitted.
 * If you believe there is legitimate need to use some copyrighted image as a fair use file, mark it as such. Please note that the uploader of a copyrighted image automatically takes legal responsibility for it.
 * Wiki Material containing the Copyright:Wiki Template was made specifically to be used on the Wiki and people seeking to use it for other purposes must have explicit permission from the authors.

 * For that matter, the user should appeal on their talk page after they changed their username.

§12 Alternate Accounts
