Rules and Regulations	About the Wikia	Manual of Style	Help and Advice	Administrators

The Basics

Civility and Courteousness

• No overuse of profanity.
• Do not continue uncivil arguments. Ignore the other user and contact an admin instead.
• No overtly sexual themes in characters or storylines.
• No personal attacks on any other user.
• Be kind and courteous to other users.

Editing

• Do not edit others' work without their permission. Exceptions apply. See below.
• Do not use others' work without their permission. Exceptions apply. See below.
• OC and Quirk pages that have been marked as OP (overpowered) may be edited and used by anyone.
  • Admins should only mark a page as OP if the page is OP AND the author has been inactive for over a year.
• There is zero tolerance for marking a page as OP when you are not an admin or forging an admin’s signature, and will result in an immediate indefinite block with no warning. It does not matter if you unmark or unsign it, as the page history is still there. You will get one warning if you unmark or unsign it immediately (we will check the timestamps).
  • If you are the author of a page that has been marked as OP, you may unmark it (as this shows that you are still active).
• Pages that are neither marked as OP nor signed may or may not have a message at the top saying something along the lines of “please do not edit this page without permission from the author”.
  • These pages may only be edited by the author (unless the author gives permission which may or may not be a one time thing) regardless of the presence of such as message or the activity/inactivity of the author.
• Users can no longer simply post an article with virtually zero information in it, it will be considered clutter and be requested for the author to add something or be deleted for housekeeping.

Plagiarism

• Plagiarism is considered bad user conduct and will be met with the full wrath of the present admins.

Co-Ownership of Articles

• Two, or more, users may create an article, a story, or anything else together. However, once this choice has been made, there is no way to revoke this, with the exclusion of certain instances. Therefore, we ask that you choose your partner for articles carefully before going through with it. Sometimes working with people can become messy, and as such, it may end up with both parties getting in trouble due to the words they say, or the actions they do.
• Co-ownerships of articles can be removed from users if the user in question wishes to leave the project of their own free will. Forcibly taking someone out of a project is prohibited, unless an admin intervenes and tries to remedy the situation at hand. This is done by a discussion between all the project owners, and at least one admin. At the end of the discussion, the ruling will be made by the admin that is mediating the discussion.

Universes

• All content must be related to My Hero Academia!
• Crossovers with other manga/anime or universes are not permitted.
  • A crossover is when the character in question is indistinguishable from the source with the exception being tweaks required to make the character fit into the universe. Using images of a character, similar power sets, and name changes are permitted, as long as the two characters are not inherently identical.
  • A character still counts as a crossover if the two characters are almost identical with the exception of the name.
• Articles must be within reason and possess common sense.
• Regardless of what type of universe you are doing, you are forbidden to alter any of the basic premises that have been set within the story. Basic premises include things like creating a different Quirk type (only Emitter, Transformation and Mutant are allowed). If you wish to inquire more about this, please contact an admin, and we'll be more than happy to assist you.
• Having the same type of character within your universe is prohibited. This means, per user, if you are using Deku (depending on the universe you're apart of), and you have another carbon copy of Deku within the same universe, the second Deku will be requested for deletion. Exceptions to this rule are if you are using similar appearances, but they're twins, triplets, etc. Another exception is if another character is named Deku, but they're different. If you are unsure whether you can do something pertaining to this rule, please do not hesitate to contact an admin.

Admins

• Admins are not exempt from the above or below rules save for special cases.
• All decisions made by admins is considered final unless the same group revokes them.
• Respect the admins -- disrespect will be punished.
• If an article does not follow Wiki rules or guidelines a warning will be issued. If at least an attempt to fix the problem is not made in three days following the warning, an admin will delete the affronting page.

Character Guidelines

• As a general rule, going against information confirmed in canon is not allowed.
• Canon characters are allowed to have been a fanon character's inspiration, as long as the two characters are distinctly different.

Heroes

• Heroes must fit within the guidelines/examples of heroes within My Hero Academia.
  • They must possess a hero license.
  • They must be publicly recognized.
  • Must be acknowledged by the government/other authorities.

Villains and Vigilantes

• Villains and Vigilantes are not the same things.
  • Villains must partake in illegal activity at least once.
  • Vigilantes, since they act as heroes, cannot take part in blatantly illegal activity for their own gain (illegal activities for the aid of others, however, is more allowable). Occasional infractions are allowed.
  • If a Vigilante becomes a member of an official Hero team or otherwise earns a Hero License, they must act within the guidelines of heroism established by the series.
    • Occasional exceptions may apply. Old habits die hard, after all.

Students

• Students must be capable enough to pass the entrance exam of their chosen school.
• Students who transfer to their school of choice:
  • Must have a unique/above-average Quirk or other capabilities.
  • Can only exist in limited amounts.
• Students are also allowed to have been recommended, but the number of these students must also be kept small.
• For power scaling purposes:
  • Students are not allowed to be more powerful than a Pro Hero, or more accurately, an actually effective Pro Hero.
  • A student is also not allowed to be on par with or superior to a student in grades ahead of them (for example, a 1st year cannot be stronger than a 2nd year).

Other

• See Quirk Guidelines on the Manual of Style.

RPs

• Only signed OCs and quirks can be used in a RP.
• You must request an admin to sign your page if you want it to be signed. However, there are no guarantees that it will be signed.
• Pages will be signed only if the page is admin-approved.
  • Admin-approved pages are pages that are considered complete according to the Manual of Style and the OC or Quirk is not considered OP by an admin.
• Signed pages may not be edited by anyone including admins and the author.
  • To edit the page, the author must get permission from an admin or ask for their page to be unsigned.
    • This is to prevent users from making their OC or Quirk OP after it was signed.

Formatting Guidelines

• All pages require the use of an infobox, with the exception of certain groups and organizations and roleplaying pages.
  • Storyline hub pages should have an infobox but is not required.
• All pages must be sectioned off properly using headings.
• When employing categories to your article, most of our categories come in plural form (i.e. Males); make sure to follow it.
• Ignoring these rules will result in a warning. After a three day waiting period the page will be deleted if the page is not fixed.
