Questions & Answers
What is "Necrophage"?

Necrophage is a series of novels that are currently under the works. For more information, check out the Necrophage Lore page for details.

Is roleplaying allowed?

No. Don't even think about creating pages for your roleplay character. It will be deleted on sight.

'''I want to contribute to the Wiki, but I can't edit on some pages. Why?'''

This is a precaution in case someone has intentions on vandalism. Anonymous users cannot edit the wiki for security reasons. Some pages, including this one, will be under permanent protection.

What should I do if someone was breaking the rules?

Report it to the Necrophage Wiki's moderators and administrators. They'll take care of it.

Are you affiliated with any political party?

We are politically neutral and are not affiliated with any political party in any country.

''' Do you support any religion or race? '''

We welcome people of all backgrounds. We take pride in diversity and inclusivity.

''' I need some help editing an article! '''

Don't be shy to contact an administrator or another fellow editor if you need help.

''' Someone vandalized a page! What should I do? '''

Report them to our staff. Vandalism isn't tolerated on the Necrophage Wiki and will result in a permanent ban with no chance of appeal. There are no exceptions to this.

''' One of the administrators/moderators is abusive! What should I do? '''

If you suspect an administrator or moderator is abusing their status, contact Fandom or the Sysop about the issue at hand. Furthermore, anyone caught abusing their status as an administrator or moderator will be severely punished as it violates Fandom's policies.

''' Someone is sending suspicious links! What should I do? '''

If that's the case, DO NOT open or click on the links. Report them to our staff and Fandom about anyone posting suspicious links or redirects.

Why are screenshots not allowed for offenses?

Because screenshots can easily be edited and manipulated. We have security precautions in place in the event someone tries to frame another member of the wiki for something they actually did not do. Screenshots will not count as evidence.

''' Someone is distributing or sharing illegal content! What should I do? '''

Report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

''' I have a dispute with another user! What should I do? '''

Disagreements happen and are normal, but constant negative opinions or comments can cross the line into harassment and are not okay. Contact a staff member if a user is harassing you.

''' Someone is trolling in the discussions! What should I do? '''

Trolling is against Fandom's Terms of Use and Community Guidelines, and therefore it is a punishable offense on the Necrophage Wiki. Don't feed the trolls.

Can I apply for administrator/moderator?

We currently do not have open applications.

''' Someone keeps reverting my edits! What should I do? '''

In cases of edit warring, the page in question will be protected for a total of 2 months to prevent further counterproductive edits. However, both sides will be issued punishments accordingly.

''' Can I upload fanart? '''

As long as you have permission from the artist, or you're the creator of the original artwork, you can upload fanart on pages. However, NSFW or suggestive art is not allowed.

' What happens if someone creates a page not related to Necrophage'' or the wiki? '''

Chances are it will be taken down, as it was unrelated to the wiki's topic. If you spot any pages that are not related to Necrophage or the wiki, it's best to bring it to the staff's attention.

''' Is this fanfiction? '''

No. Necrophage is not related to any existing pieces of fiction.

''' Is free speech allowed? '''

Yes, but only to an extent. You are not allowed to use profane, obscene, vulgar or offensive language.

 NOTE:  The First Amendment does not apply to the Necrophage Wiki, Fandom, or other privately owned entities. We are fully compliant with Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, and Necrophage Wiki staff reserve the right to restrict access to objectionable content.

''' What offense guarantees a permanent block? '''

Any severe offenses on the Necrophage Wiki, including:

''' I was blocked by mistake! Can I get an appeal? '''
 * Vandalism.
 * Pornographic imagery or actions.
 * Sexism.
 * Xenophobia.
 * Homophobia.
 * Transphobia.
 * Islamophobia. And,
 * Bigotry.

If you think the block was unjustified or otherwise invalid, you should contact our staff at Community Central to dispute the block. As answered above, staff members abusing their status of power will be subject to severe punishment regardless of their level.

'''I noticed a grammar mistake on a page! Will I get in trouble for correcting it?'''

Absolutely not. Something as simple as fixing a grammatical error won't get you in trouble. You are free to edit a page as long as you follow the page creation and editing guidelines.

''' Why are some groups restricted to certain users? '''

This is to prevent other staff members from abusing status. We don't give the bureaucrat status to any Necrophage Wiki staff members (Except the System Operator). Additionally, some staff members cannot occupy certain groups unless they have applied for them.

''' What is the "Escalation Procedure"? '''

The escalation procedure is used to give out warnings to other community members if a violation has been noticed or reported. Page editing guideline violations will not be logged unless poor behavior continues, or other rules are broken. Minor violations may escalate if poor behavior continues. Moderate violations lead to a temporary block. Major violations will lead to a permanent block.

''' Why is historical or current figures or events not allowed? '''

For the safety of other community members, the Necrophage Wiki has a zero-tolerance policy for the discussion of controversial, political, religious or current events or figures. This includes making jokes or memes about such, because it is considered insensitive to other community members.

''' This is extremely violent! '''

Necrophage is meant to be violent and pessimistic, since it lies within the "grimdark" genre. If you have a problem with that, then go someplace else or deal with it.

' When will Necrophage'' be available and where can I buy it? '''

Necrophage will be released when the date is announced, and it will be self-published on Amazon.

' Some things about Necrophage'' don't make any logical or scientific sense. Why? '''

Necrophage combines science fiction with elements from fantasy and supernatural genres (I.E., gods, spirits, demons, etc).

Is Necrophage about good versus evil or light versus darkness?

Actually, in the Necrophage lore, it's reality versus madness. Nobody is good or evil in this scenario.

'''A user is gatekeeping! What should I do?'''

Gatekeeping is when someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or does not have access or rights to a community or identity. Such individuals are known as gatekeepers. The Necrophage Wiki has a zero-tolerance policy to gatekeeping and is a punishable offense.

''' Is there an age requirement? '''

In compliance with Fandom's Terms of Use, you must be over 13 to 16 years of age to participate on the Necrophage Wiki depending on the country, state, or province you reside in.

I want to talk to a member of staff.

Don't. You should only contact staff if you seek to make an appeal, or if someone is being disruptive or breaking the rules. Contacting staff for any other reason will be considered an abuse.

Can I advertise my wiki here?

No. The Necrophage Wiki is not an advertising agency. Do not advertise your wikis here.
