There are rules on Code Lyoko Wiki. This is a list of those rules.

Welcome

Welcome to Code Lyoko Wiki, the ultimate Code Lyoko reference. This is a place where you can edit and create pages having to do with Code Lyoko. Excited? Want to start editing now? Well, don't! Read the below rules first.

Getting Started

Before you start editing, create an account. This will confirm you as a registered User. Then go about to create a userpage describing yourself, your interests, or other things you want to put down. Then, start editing by reading the editing guidelines below.

How to Write a Page

To bold, italicize, or bolditalicize words in your article, do this:

You always have to bold the subject the first time you mention it in the article. For example: "Roachsters are monsters."

To insert a picture, sign in, upload it (found in the toolbox section below the search field), then insert it like this:

This means that Example.jpg will be 200 px big, be a thumbnail, be on the right, side, and have "Description" typed in its description. Get it? Hopefully. If not, simply contact the one of the Administrators.

You also have to learn headings. This is a large heading:

This is a smaller heading:

Style of Writing

Write everything in the present tense if it is true as of the most recent season's end. You may be sarcastic a little bit, i.e. "Ulrich is the real leader of the team, but no one cares since they keep calling Jeremie the boss." Don't be overly sarcastic, like "Yumi wears black because she's depressed and you should be too." No. That's not good.

The Wiki Conventions

We have a lot of information from different sources here in the Code Lyoko Wiki, so, in order to keep a little continuity, we have established a series of conventions that we use as editors. They are fairly basic and easy to miss, but everything is in the detail!

We only ask to please keep to these when editing/writing new articles whenever possible so to save time for other editors.

Notability/Duplicate pages

Before creating a page do two things. Firstly, check to see if the page you are trying to make is already a page, or a page under a slightly different name. If there is already a page their is no need for a second one. Secondly, determine if the page you are creating is notable. Ask yourself "Hmm, is a page on Jeremie's Glasses really needed?". If you are having doubts, it's probably because it's not as important as you might think.

Images

Before uploading an image, look through the wiki to see if the image already exists. If it does, and your version is of equal or inferior quality, don't upload it. If your version is of superior quality, replace the inferior one with yours. If the image does not exist on this wiki, continue.

Next, make sure the image is appropriate. Basically, don't upload child porn, pictures of gratuitous violence or porn, pictures of sensitive information, or pictures that have no relevance to anything here.

If you have passed the shields of childporn, preventing identity theft, and poor quality, then you may upload the image. If you upload an image, you are responsible for it. This means you must make sure it is categorized correctly and added to the correct pages. See below for how to categorize images.

Fanart is an image that isn't from actual footage, the games, official merchandise, etc. It's prohibited to upload fanart to actual pages. However, fanart are still allowed to be used for user blogs, comments, user pages, and anything else that is not actual content. Fanart should not be used on any wiki pages. Memes count as fanart. If you upload any fanart, put it in the fanart category.

For every image that you upload, you must completely categorize two images. If it is unclear how to do so, ask an Admin. A list of images that must be categorized can be found here: Special:UncategorizedFiles. This rule applies to both fanart and actual footage. Persistent violators will receive a minor ban.

Every image must be added to its applicable pages. Thanks to DPL, some galleries auto-update with images which have been categorized correctly. However, most images must still be manually added. To do this, go to each page whose topic is related to the content, and ammend the gallery.

Persistent or serious violations will result in being banned for varying lengths of time.

How to categorize images

Security Rules

User Rules

Do not reveal any of the following personal information in your user page, blog posts, comments, or postings:

Users may be banned and leadership may be demoted if there is sufficient public evidence that they are interfering with the safety or privacy of a user or admin.

These policies are to protect our largely underage userbase from child abusers, and to protect all users from dangerous people. Admins have the right to enforce these rules.

User Account Types

There are 4 usergroups on this wiki: User, Moderator, Admin, and Crat. The Headcrat is the person in charge of the crats. Everyone has all of the rights and privileges of their rank, plus the ranks listed below them. The ranks are the following:

These people have the right to give and take usergroup rights. They can make a person a Crat, Admin, or Moderator, and take those rights as well.
These users can do the following: delete unwanted items from the wiki, ban users who act inappropriately, and edit technical pages that are restricted from normal users.
These users actually are in 3 usergroups: Chat Moderator, Moderator, and Rollback. We treat them as one usergroup for simplicity. They have the rights to moderate the forum, moderate the chatroom, moderate the chatwalls of other users, and rollback pages.
If you haven't been banned or promoted, you're in this group. These users can edit non-technical pages, upload media to the wiki, and use the wiki in general, except in cases where something has been restricted to a higher user.

If a promoted user has been inactive for 6 months or more, and they have been inactive the longest out of all the crats, admins, and moderators; they can loose their promotions, and go back to standard user. Except in cases of vandalism, this can only happen once per month.

Changes to the user-structure and the decision of the head crat must be democratic. Promoting someone to admin or crat must be done with the agreement of at least two crats.
