Comments on the Wiki are meant to be helpful, qualitative and welcoming. Comments that disregard the following guidelines will be deleted.
As we allow anonymous comments, we cannot automatically inform commenters of the reason for deleting a comment. If you think your comment was wrongfully deleted, please contact a Mod in our Discord server.
Who May Comment
Everyone is allowed to comment on articles, with or without an account.
Please be aware that users without registration will be listed with their IP address.
Some pages may become closed to comments if they attract too many low-quality comments.
Etiquette
Abide by the Golden Rule: "Treat others how you want to be treated".
The comment section is to discuss, give help, or seek help. Do not criticize or belittle anyone who is seeking assistance, lacks knowledge of the game, or have differing opinions. Do not report a user because their opinion differs from yours. We do not the tolerate harassment or trolling of users. Joking is fine but do not take things too far.
Some examples of comments we will delete
- Incomprehensible phrasing.
- One-word or low-effort reactions and memes (especially about wombforce).
- Parroting previous comments.
- Angry rants about why you dislike a weapon or character design.
- Requests to share information on so-called "dramas" and "leaks".
- Gratuitous display of arousal.
Do Not
- Harass or troll other users.
- The comment section is to discuss, give help, or seek help. Do not criticize or belittle anyone who is seeking assistance, lacks knowledge of the game, or have differing opinions. Do not report a user because their opinion differs from yours.
- Discriminate towards other users.
- This includes, but is not limited to: racism, sexism, an individual's health and/or disabilities.
- Post explicit images (NSFW).
- This includes, but is not limited to: hentai, pornography, gore.
- Spam the comment section, other users, or editors.
- Discuss politics. There are better platforms than a game Wiki for that.
- Share personal information.
Keep In Mind
- Read the article first. Nobody wants to repeat in the comments what is already written in the article.
- Comments written with proper grammar are easier to understand. If you don't make the effort to write your question well, nobody will make the effort to answer it.
- Users are players from different regions and servers.
- Users playing in JP and EN are not fully caught up with CN, TW, and KR.
- Try not to spoil the game.
- Users may play how they feel.
- Some play for fun, others play seriously.
- Editors are busy.
- Editors have their own lives as well.
- Don't ask for someone to make an edit if you haven't even tried to make the same edit by yourself.
- Comments on personal pages are not for prolonged conversations.
- Again: The Golden Rule.
- Treat others how you want to be treated.
Wiki Code
You can format your comment, or add links and images with Wiki Code.
Wiki code in comments can be activated by clicking on the double-brackets button ([[]]
). Please refer to the Guidelines or official MediaWiki documentation for details.
Handling Images
For images, please use the proper syntax to display a thumbnail of the image. Big images will break the page layout and disturb the general flow of the comment section.
Comments containing images without a thumbnail will be deleted.
