*'''1. Be respectful.''' Pretty self-explanatory. Everyone should get along nicely.

*'''2. No excessive self-promoting/ego stroking.''' This was a bit of a problem that happened on the Fandom Speakonia Community Wiki, and we hope that it won't happen again here. Basically, this means don't excessively add yourself, your characters/groups, or personal canons into articles. This also extends to videos as well.

This is meant to be an informative wiki, not act as a vehicle for self-advertising yourself and your random ideas.

*'''3. Do follow established formatting.''' With this being the fourth version of an informative Barney Bunch wiki (preceded by Drew Pickles and the BB Wiki, Speakonia Community Wiki on Miraheze, and The Speakonia Community on Fandom), it is important to adhere to the formatting that those wikis had and even build upon them. Any major "overhauls" must be approved by the owners and admins of this wiki.

*'''4. Quality over Quantity.''' With something as vast as the Speakonia Community, it is important to know that some information on its past is either sparse or lost. As such, in order to prevent the wiki from being filled to the brim with nonsense, we will only be making articles for characters, groups, videos, sites, and members who have left a significant impact on the community and have plenty of information on them. The last thing we need is a repeat of the Fandom Barney Bunch Wiki. At the end of the day, this wiki is meant to be an encyclopedia chronicling the history of the Barney Bunch, significant characters, and the people responsible for creating them, not act as a personal playground for your random ideas. This rule goes as follows:

This rule goes as follows:

**If the particular subject (character, group, video, site, community member, etc.) has enough information on them and are are generally well known, as forgotten or very obscure things will not have enough information to receive their own article.

**A group or character has to have been utilized in numerous videos and must have plenty of information on them. They must have also done something of significance outside of their introduction video or a single Goes To video or whatever. As such, the character/group must have been utilized by more than ~~TWO~~ users outside of the creator of the group/character in order for them to get their own article. That is not an excuse for you to add your own characters or groups in, especially if you are the only one who actually uses them. As stated before, this is meant to be an informative wiki and not a dumping ground for your random headcanons. Sandboxes exist for a reason.

**A group or character has to have been utilized in numerous videos and must have plenty of information on them. They must have also done something of significance outside of their introduction video or a single Goes To video or whatever. As such, the character/group must have been utilized by more than THREE users outside of the creator of the group/character in order for them to get their own article.

**As far as community members (at least the ones that are still around) go, some might now want to have an article about themselves here. As such, it is extremely important that you ask them first before you go ahead and make an article about them, an respect their wishes to not make one if they say "no", no matter how influential they may be. For videos, we will only be making articles on important videos or ones of significant value, which means you should not be making articles about your own videos. Remember Rule #2.

As stated before, these rules may be subject to change in the future, but these were then tentpole rules used for the Fandom Speakonia Community Wiki. If you have any questions, be sure to let the owners and admins know.
