Dead by Daylight Wiki:Wiki Rules

In order to keep the Dead by Daylight Wiki free of spam and unnecessary items, there are a few rules we ask you to abide by when editing and creating pages:

§1 Dead by Daylight's EULA

• Anything that is against the Dead by Daylight End User License Agreement and/or brand guidelines is not allowed on the Wiki.

§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 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.

§4 Communication Standards

• Be respectful to everyone.
• Harassment, insults and personal attacks are not tolerated. Keep discussion as civil as possible.
• Defamation can result in a block without warning.

§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 Blocking

• A user can be blocked by Administrators if they deem necessary to do so.
• Blocks may be appealed if their duration doesn't exceed one month. This can be done in a few ways:
  • On their talk page if it is unlocked
  • By contacting an Administrator
  • On the Wiki's Discord Server

§11 Username Policy

• Offensive, misleading, or otherwise unacceptable usernames are not allowed and will be blocked indefinitely until the username is changed.
  • For that matter, the user should appeal on their talk page after they changed their username.

§12 Alternate Accounts

• Maintaining more than one account is generally discouraged.
• Abusing alternate accounts will not be tolerated.

§13 New Policy Suggestions

• New policies may be suggested by users by adding them to the talk page of this article.
• Once a valid minor policy has been suggested, the Wiki Administrators will vote on it. Major policies will be voted on by the Wiki Admins and the Wiki's Community.
  • If minor policies pass by unanimous consent, the policy will be instantly ratified and adopted.
  • If they pass by a simple majority or if the vote is tied, the Community gets the final vote on it.
• Policies may be vetoed by the Wiki Administrators.
