Dragon Ball Fanon Wiki:Rules

The rules and policies of the Dragon Ball Fanon Wiki are standards that must be met. All users must comply with them, regardless of position or status within the wiki. These rules are set in stone, as certain situations may require different forms of being dealt with, though this does not mean one may use this as an excuse to gain their own way in arguments and discussions.

Alongside these rules, guidelines, advice, rights and responsibilities have been set out for new users.

If you disagree with, or wish to change, any of the rules or policies stated below, please visit the talk page, located here, to discuss possible changes to the rules.

Community Rules
These are the rules that apply to interactions between users.

 * Administration - Do not ask to be made an administrator. You will not be promoted.

Fan Fiction Guidelines and Advice
