The Barney Bunch Wiki:About: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The Barney Bunch Wiki is a wiki dedicated to a group known as the Barney Bunch, which first formed in 2005, alongside the adjacent Speakonia Community. This includes characters, videos, creators within the community, and certain events that happened within the community's history. There were a few attempts to have a wiki that chronicles the Barney Bunch, but were either closed or shut down (as was what happened to the recent Speakonia Community Wiki on Fandom), so this will primarily serve as the main Barney Bunch Wiki for the time being. Below will be a list of rules and things to be done in order to keep this wiki

== What Needs To Be Done ==

Line 6:

*Video files

*New logo and favicon

*General polishing of articles (fixing broken links, spelling errors, etc.)

*General polishing of articles (fixing broken links, spelling/grammar errors, etc.)

*Ensure that there is at least some activity every week (in order to keep this wiki from being locked of edits and closing down from inactivity. Such was the fate of the Miraheze Speakonia Community Wiki)

*'''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, The Speakonia Community ~~Wiki, The Nega-Barney Bunch~~ Wiki 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.

*'''3. Do follow established formatting.'''

*'''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 ~~(Nicknamed Barney Bunch Wiki In Name Only by some users)~~. 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 behind it all, 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 THREE 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 although if a group is small but have some meaning impact where they have some info but not enough for their own individual article ex. The Lucario League, the Danny Dantai, the Screw Scouts can all go in the [[List of Obscure Speakonia Groups]] page though they need to some impact on the community so no one timer groups you just made here.

**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 Rules #2 and #4.

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.
