The Dream Logo Wiki:Policy

Introduction
The Closing Logo Group is welcoming of all users and all contributions. However, mischief, harassment, and destruction are not welcome. The CLG has a zero-tolerance rule for out-of-line behavior or purposefully negative edits. We expect our users to edit constructively and be civil when discussing or cooperating with other editors.

Below is the CLG's Policy. We've outlined 8 basic guidelines and additional rules that all contributors are required to follow. If you witness another user violating any of these rules, please submit a report. While some sections may specify consequences for violations, these are not set in stone. Users who are solely here to wreck havoc and stir up trouble will have their accounts suspended indefinitely.

Rule #1: Edit positively
Editors are expected make positive contributions. This means that your edits should add to the content, not take away from it.

Positive contributions includes adding relevant images to articles, writing more about a logo/company's background, adding references for information, adding new information about a logo/company, and fixing a spelling or grammar mistake.

Negative contributions include vandalism (publishing gibberish, expletives, or generally unrelated information), removing content without explanation, making unnecessary/redundant edits, writing with a biased point of view, publishing test edits on mainspace pages, spamming, plagiarizing, etc.

Users who contribute negatively will be blocked. The duration of the block is at the discretion of the blocking administrator.

Rule #2: Publish relevant information, images, and links
This wiki is an encyclopedia of entertainment-based logos and branding from your dreams -- and nothing else. In-credit notices are welcome but not required. Users are welcome to contribute as long as they are publishing on-topic content. It is easy to get off track sometimes, but it is important to remember where you are.

This wiki is not a search engine or advertisement. Users who are publishing advertisements or promotional content will have their contributions reverted and will be blocked. This includes posting irrelevant, inappropriate, or harmful external links.

This wiki does not allow NSFW logos, ever. However, hardcore pornography or other similar content is not tolerated whatsoever, and photos and videos of dead people and/or animals or swearing are not allowed on this website. Users posting this type of content will have their accounts suspended immediately and reported to Miraheze.

Rule #3: Be civil
This wiki is open to all users, except for those who are blocked for not following the guidelines. It is a place for logo enthusiasts to collaborate and help others. You are required to be in line with this vision while you edit and when you communicate.

It is very easy to be nasty or rude online when you are frustrated. Even if you are frustrated, do your best to be civil and fair. Rather than edit warring (when you and another editor revert each others' edits repeatedly), take matters to the talk page and politely address the issue at hand. If you are reporting a user, state the facts. Do not exaggerate or resort to insults, don't make false reports against someone. The reported administrator reserves the right to reject reports about the admin in question if reported by a troll; any other reason is not an excuse.

Users who continuously adopt a rude, belligerent, or harassing attitude will be blocked from editing altogether.

Rule #4: Content must be notable (no unacceptable logos!)
We understand that users may be tempted to upload logos that are real or aren't movie studios but restaurants, films, TV shows, and video games. We also understand that users may want to upload logos of their YouTube channels, websites, or other creations. However, this place is not the place for this type of material. Content must be notable. This means that it must be at least somewhat well-known. Examples of this are fake companies or corporations.

Your YouTube channel (unless it has 1,000,000+ subscribers), and small websites are examples of content that is generally not considered to be notable.

Rule #5: Follow the correct process for editing and uploading
The administrators of this wiki and the young Scj323347 have worked very hard to create systems, guidelines, and formats for pages, images, and videos. Please do not try to deviate from the general format or process without contacting administrators first! If you are confused about this, please read our editing guidelines.

Please publish files/images on a page after uploading them! CLG Wiki's Dream Logos is organized into pages for a reason, and visitors will have trouble finding your content if you do not add it to a page. Simply uploading images without using them is not acceptable. The same applies for creating pages without logos. This is the Closing Logo Group's spinoff for Dream Logos, after all!

Finally, do not publish copyrighted material without permission. For more information on this and what it means, see CLG Wiki's Dream Logos:Copyrights. When uploading images, please select the appropriate license. CLG Wiki editors have also compiled a list of great sources for finding logos.

Rule #6: Follow account creation guidelines
Miraheze has specific guidelines in place for creating accounts. These are not to be abused in anyway. As a part of these guidelines, you must be at least 13 years old to edit on Miraheze. In addition, your username must not contain any expletives, must not intentionally copy that of another registered user on this Wiki, and must not contain any personal attacks.

Due to persistant issues with users abusing multiple accounts, users may not operate more than a single account on this Wiki. If you are blocked and you create an additional account in an attempt to evade your previous block, all accounts of yours will be blocked indefinitely. If this behavior continues, you will be reported to Miraheze.

Users who create and intentionally use additional accounts (even if their primary accounts are not blocked) will have those additional accounts suspended indefinitely. If any user publicly sympathizes with a banned user and requests that the banned user be unblocked within poor reasoning, then that user will be treated as another account of the banned user and the account will also be suspended indefinitely.

Finally, of course, you are required to follow Miraheze's Terms of Use.

Rule #7: Do not duplicate the site
Copying/plagarizing pages and putting them onto your CLG duplicate (without attribution) is harmful to the CLG's reputation, as well as a violation of Miraheze's content policy. It also includes an attempt to impersonate this wiki by using this wiki's background, wordmark and the wiki header even by using a similar url.

Any user who created a duplicate site without attributing pages will be banned from using CLG Wiki's Dream Logos permanently.

Rule #8: No starting demotion votes without administrative privileges
Only administrators are allowed to start the vote to demote a certain administrator or a bureaucrat. You are not to create a vote to remove any administrator without administrator rights. In addition, you cannot support the vote if it was not created by an administrator and instead report the user and the thread here. This rule is set to protect our administrators from being voted out by sockpuppets or anyone who attempts to sway the discussion to get away with removing an innocent administrator. If the vote has been started by an administrator, then you may add your vote to the discussion.

Any user found to be creating a vote without administrative rights will have the discussion cancelled/closed and the user will be banned from CLG Wiki's Dream Logos for the rest of your natural born life.

Finally: Follow the above 8 Rules! :)
You will not have a problem editing on this Wiki filled with dream logos as long as you follow the 8 Rules. Please note that if you violate these rules, do not necessarily expect to receive a warning. Obvious misconduct will result in a swift block. Thank you and happy editing!
