The staff guidelines are a set of rules that all Arcane Reborn wiki staff must follow. This page also contains a list of punishable offences which can be used as reference for wiki staff and community members.

Our Expectations From Wiki Staff

  • Be active and cooperative on the wiki.
  • Be professional and mature towards community members and wiki staff.
  • Follow your assigned tasks to the best of your abilities.
  • Do not hesitate to ask your colleagues if you are unsure about anything.
  • Avoid holding biases and be objective in discussions.
  • Notify the staff team in advance if you need some downtime.

Sanctioning Guidelines

  • All users, regardless of position, must follow the wiki guidelines.
  • Staff members who violate these guidelines will be punished with a harsher sentence and may face temporary or permanent demotion depending on the offence.
  • If you notice another user who has violated these rules, contact a wiki staff member immediately. Anyone who withholds information will receive the same punishment as the perpetrators.
  • Staff members will deal with violations on a case-by-case basis and have the right to pass out punishments based on their own judgment depending on the circumstances of the incident. This implies that the nature and or the duration of the punishment may differ from those suggested on the table below.
  • Appeals are handled by the Bureaucrats or the Administrators.
    • Appeals for permanent blocks are handled by the Bureaucrats.
