Editing, pages and images/media

1. We do not support fictional companies (see Companyball Fanon), countryballs, softwareballs, or political partyballs. If you're not sure, ask.

1. 1. Countryballs are allowed in this wiki in comics, artworks, or images if, and only if, companyballs are in the same comic, artwork, or image as that countryball. Otherwise no, and not in full pages.
2. Do not draw using circle and shape tools (Backgrounds are exceptions)

1. All images uploaded to the wiki should be images related to the scope of the wiki (i.e. images of countryballs, etc.). An exception to this rule are images that are uploaded for social purposes like using them on your profile. All other images will be removed.
   1. We suggest putting images related to multiple -ball wikis on Ballmedia Commons.
2. If you upload an image, comic, or artwork that was made by another user, give them credit.
3. You can use any painting program that has the ability to draw countryballs, not just MS Paint (Paint.NET, Photoshop, GIMP, etc.).
4. Do not post NSFW or NSFL content.
5. Do not change a companyball's gender unless approved by wiki staff.

   3. Brands are allowed, however certain brands are not allowed. (Ex. Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man)
   4. Again, fictional companyballs are not allowed.
   5. Sports Teamballs are not allowed.
8. Poorly drawn/low quality art will likely be deleted due to being an eyesore.
9. If a page needs to be cleaned up, please add the "Cleanup" category.
10. If a page has propaganda, misspelling or just has horrible formatting, please add the template.
11. If a page contents that will change (e.g.: Triacom, Disneyball) make sure to add
12. If a page needs to be deleted please add the template but don't remove the contents of the page unless it is extreme spam or vandalism.
    1. If a page has 5 or more templates, it is OK to have the combination template so the templates of that page are all in one expandable template. If a page has 4 or less templates, the page's templates are separate from each other and the combination template is not allowed.
    2. Please do not revert images unless an admin/mod approves it.

    Admin Rules

    1. Warnings and blocks must be given for good reason. If the issue is minor, always warn before blocking. Keep Talk Page access open unless it is abused.
    2. Assume good intentions, and remember that you're a part of the community: you cannot be a tyrant. The community may seek your removal for inappropriate, bossy or overly harsh behavior.
    3. Radical changes to the rules must be approved by the community and other admins.
