BGT:Wiki Rules

Welcome to the BGT Wiki, before you begin editing may I please ask that you read the rules for this particular wiki. Please note that rules can change from wiki to wiki, so this wikis communal rules may differ from the rules of others:

Rule 1: Do not spoil the show, so if you have been in the audience of any upcoming audition, please do not talk about this until their audition has been televised.

Rule 2: No Vandalism, as in this community vandals are taken very seriously. If you are spotted as having vandalised upon the wiki, your edit will be removed from the page that you vandalised, and a message will be placed on your talk page, alongside a link to this page (In the case of anonymous users your edits may need removing manually or if you do several at least one may need to as that way you will be tagged and linked to this page).

Rule 3: If a user edits a page or creates a page which has nothing to do with the show it will be deleted as this wiki is for BGT acts and judges having pages so any content of audience member pages or random pages from misunderstanding wrong answers on game shows will be deleted by an admin upon their discovery.

Rule 4: If you make an edit which is not to the wikis standards you may be asked why and will then be informed of the wikis standards in order to try and help you comply with these in future edits.

Rule 5: Do not add categories if you do not first discuss them with an admin. If an admin disagrees with your proposed new categories then they will be removed and you will be given a warning not to add undiscussed categories again and linked to this page. However in this case that you have done so with several pages before this violation is spotted you will be blocked for a week and a message will be placed on your talk page explaining why you were blocked. If this rule is violated again you will be blocked again, however this time for a longer period of time. If you but add an undiscussed or disagreed category to one page then an admin will inform you that you should not have done that and link you to the rules page.

Rule 6: No usages of infoboxes as this site does not use any kind of infoboxes upon it's pages.

Rule 7: Do not deviate from the formulas that pages are written to. If you wish to write an auditions page, an episodes page, a judge or guest judge a page, an untelevised act a page, or an act a page look at the formula for how this is written first so that way your edit or page creation will not require clean-up. If you are unable to work out how to reference external material for before & after the show subheadings or subheadings of what Champions contestants do after appearing upon Champions this will be done on your behalf by an admin, as will adding images, links or categories if you lack the time to do so.

Rule 8: Always remain both polite & civil when discussing subjects upon discussions boards or blog posts and if someone is seen as disobeying this rule they will be given a warning and linked to this page. If this rule is broken again then a weeks block will be given, and if this is repeated again several times a block for a longer period of time may be provided to you without warning, as the smaller blocks will be warned upon just prior to their occurrence.

Rule 9: If you are unsure how to edit something, add an image, add a category, or reference please ask either an admin or the wikis community as these people will attempt to help & support you in your learning experience.

Rule 10: Do not make pages for unnamed acts as if you do so, these pages will be deleted. The BGT Wiki does not make pages for any unnamed acts, unless you can discover the acts name. You can ask for an acts name on the discussions board if you don't know an acts name, however wish to make them a page. However acts where but the first name is known can have pages as long as you place their talent in brackets beside them and if differing people have the same name or group names place their series in brackets beside their name, and these pages will not be deleted unless they lack information. Examples of this are Alex (Magician), Rob King (Series 13), & Deja Vu (Series 6).

Rule 11: Do not just add images or categories or both to a page without any kind of information. If this is seen having occurred then the pages will be deleted. If at least 100 of these pages are made prior to a warning you will be blocked for two weeks in order to prevent you from making more of these kinds of pages and remaking those that have been deleted. If this is seen with any number of pages beneath 100 then you will be provided with a warning and linked to this page, and if you do so again you will be blocked for two weeks as it will be clear that you went on to ignore the warning.
