Content Policy/Additional Restrictions

This subpage serves to document specific narrower restrictions on wiki creation, due to the nature of these restrictions as topic and genre-specific and the likelihood of more frequent updates, we have elected to list these restrictions here rather than on the main content policy page.

Currently Enforced

 * "Personal use only" wikis are disallowed -- a wiki must have a clear topic
 * i.e. a wiki requested to serve as a personal diary, for testing MediaWiki or writing random things is not approvable, a wiki for a worldbuilding project may be approvable.
 * This restriction is primarily a resource consideration and may be lifted in the future
 * Reception Wikis are disallowed - See page for example characteristics
 * "Single Individual" wikis (also known as vanity wikis or individual biography wikis) are disallowed unless documenting a larger body of work by the individual
 * e.g. A wiki about an author with several published works may be permissible, if the wiki plans to also document the plot/settings of the books.
 * Wikis whose primary purpose is to host fanon and fan-fiction content are disallowed
 * Worldbuilding wikis centered on content derivative of existing IPs are disallowed
 * Wikis documenting personal TTRPG campaigns which may include derivative content due to setting do not fall under restriction
 * New -ball and -human genre wikis will generally not be approved
 * Existing communities looking to migrate from other platforms will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis
 * Wikis whose primary purpose is to act a social platform without a specific topic
 * 'free-editing' wikis where anyone can write anything on any topic
