Axing the Blog Policy as we don't have blogs on here
This is a list of Bakugan Wiki Policies.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Privacy Policy]]
:For the safety and privacy of the users on this Wiki, all members are ''forbidden to'':
#Share their real, full name
#Share their real age
#Share their address and location
#Share private information that shouldn't be spoken about online (e.g. telephone numbers)
Anyone who asks for such information in public (as in, in a blog post, or on a Talk Page) will also be given a warning.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Warning Policy]]
:Warnings ''should'' be used before a block. If there is someone who is extremely misbehaving, then you can block the user without warning.
:Warnings MUST have a legitimate cause, and should be backed up by one of the [[Bakugan Wiki:Policies|Policies]].
:Warnings '''cannot''' be removed from Message Walls or archived Talk Pages, and can only be moved when a Talk Page is archived.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Language Policy]]
:Cussing is not allowed without censors, and any rude or sexual language will be removed.
:Tip: If you have to ask, just don't say it. Also, if you see that it has been censored elsewhere, that's usually a sign that you shouldn't say it.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Picture Policy]]
:Only high-quality images are allowed on ''articles''. Other general images are allowed on User Pages ''only''. Fan art is not allowed on articles. The only time a low-quality image can be used if it is a GIF animation, which are almost always in low quality. Inappropriate pictures or pictures that are risque are not allowed on the Wiki.
:As stated on the [[Bakugan Wiki:Manual of Style#Images|Manual of Style]], images that are not your own must be properly attributed to the person whom you received the image from. Therefore, if you took a screenshot from another website, you must state who created the image and use the proper license. In order to do so, use the [[Special:Upload|image uploader]] or the [[Special:MultipleUpload|multiple image uploader]].
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Harassment Policy]]
:If '''any''' user is seen flaming, disparaging, insulting, or otherwise degrading another user, they will automatically get a warning and possibly a one-day block. Hate lists against other users are also not allowed.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Vandalism Policy]]
:Any person who planned the disruption of an article or personal page will be given a warning, following the Warning Policy.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:All Editors Are Equal]]
:'''No''' user is allowed to discriminate others based on gender, race, or hobbies.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Quitting Policy]]
:If a member decides to quit, he/she should place a <nowiki>{{Retired}}</nowiki> template on their user page. Both the user page and the user's talk page can be protected upon request.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Sockpuppet Policy]]
:Members are only allowed two accounts, maximum. Any user with a duplicate account cannot become an Administrator or Bureaucrat with their secondary account, no matter what position they were in with their primary account.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Inactivity Policy]]
:If you decide to leave the Wiki, it is '''not''' recommended that you make a blog to do so, especially if your reason for leaving is because of conflict with another user.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Security Policy]]
:If somebody accesses your account and violates the Policies, then you are held accountable.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Trolling Policy]]
:Those who act with the intent of disrupting the community life of this Wiki will be blocked.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Blocking Policy]]
:Any user that gets three warnings will be blocked; the first block will be for three days, the second for one week, the third for two weeks, etc. If a person reaches five "legitimate" blocks, or blocks with a duration of three days or longer, then they will be permanently blocked.
:An account will automatically be permanently blocked if it is made known that the account was created to dodge a block or a kickban on the user's previous account.
;[[Bakugan Wiki:Discord Policy]]
:The Discord's policies work very differently than the main wiki's. Please read up on them to ensure an understanding of the differences.
