This page contains the SiIvaGunner Wiki's content policy. It describes criteria and rules for all or specific types of content.
Content criteria
- All content should relate to the YouTube channel SiIvaGunner.
- All content needs to be accurate. The SiIvaGunner Wiki aims to provide reliable information. In particular, adding speculation and own inventions (fan fiction, fan art, etc.) to articles is not allowed.
- All content needs to be verifiable. Other editors need to be able to check and verify it.
- All content needs to be informative. Information which is only of interest to the writer or to other editors (as opposed to readers) should not be included in articles.
- All content needs to be objective and written from a neutral point of view. Opinions, and "my favorite"-style passages should not be added to articles.
- All content needs to relate to official SiIvaGunner content; unofficial and fan content is not covered on this wiki.
Don't create incomplete pages
Pages that are published to the wiki should be complete. Pages that are in-progress should start as Drafts.
At minimum, pages that are published to the wiki should meet these criteria:
Rip pages should have:
- A filled out infobox (link, playlist, description, etc.)
- At least one joke alongside a Rips by joke category and, if it is a meme, an article link and "rips featuring..." category
- Placeholders for unknown jokes (e.g. "At X:XX, the melody changes to an unknown melody) with as much detail provided as possible
Event pages should have:
- Has a filled out infobox (start date, end date, etc.)
- Rips uploaded section (if applicable)
- Summary section
- Timeline section
Pages that are made incomplete may be deleted without notice and a disciplinary warning may be issued.
Criteria for specific content
Contributor pages
Pages about SiIvaGunner contributors and other real-life individuals should only contain information related to SiIvaGunner, such as contributions and ripping history. Personal information (such as date of birth and appearance) may be removed without notice, and contributors may request to have their information removed from the wiki by a staff member.
If a contributor has a category but not an article, the article should be created as a redirect to the category. This is to make it easier for readers to find the category page.
An article for a SiIvaGunner contributor with fewer than 10 categorized contributions must meet at least one of the following criteria, unless the page is already a redirect:
- The subject has been part of SiIvaGunner or the SG Art Team.
- The subject has contributed to a SiIvaGunner Fusion Records album.
- The subject has directly collaborated with the SiIvaGunner team, the SG Art Team or SGFR on a major video or other project, not including projects that were open to participation by fans.
- The subject's non-SiIvaGunner work, such as an original song or a video game soundtrack, has been used or referenced by SiIvaGunner.
- The subject has a Wikipedia article or has at least 100,000 YouTube subscribers.
- The article contains detailed information that is contextually relevant.
Memes
As of May 25, 2024, the creation of new meme articles and categories has been paused. See the announcement post for more details.
Single-source memes
A meme that only uses a single source (i.e. a song or video) must be used in at least 25 rips to be classifed as a meme on the wiki. In addition, single-source memes that are associated with one or more channel events should also have a presence outside of them.
Multi-source memes
A meme that has multiple sources attached to them (i.e. bands and media franchises) must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Depth: Has at least one song/track that is used in at least 35 rips.
- Breadth: Has at least three songs/tracks that are each used in at least 15 rips.
- Any submemes of the meme can be counted toward the criteria.
If a meme meets any of the above requirements, they must also meet at least two of the following secondary criteria:
- Has at least one additional song/track that is used in at least 25 rips.
- Is associated with a character from the King for a Day Tournament or King for Another Day Tournament.
- Has at least one related multi-day event or three related single-day events.
- Has at least one related album (contents only, cover/name does not count).
- Is associated with the channel's lore.
- Has a rip from at least one fake game.
- Has at least one game that has three rips of one or more non-existent tracks.
- Has ten related sources that have each been referenced at least once.
Composers
In general, navboxes that focus on specific composers and bands are prohibited from being made. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule that are listed below:
All exceptions to this rule can only be decided on during moots. If you would like to see a specific composer or band have a navbox on the wiki, please propose it as a moot topic first. Any navboxes of this type that are made without a proposal will be deleted without warning.
Series
Series navboxes, navboxes that are specific to a series of media (e.g. franchises for video games, television series, and websites), must meet the following formatting criteria:
- The number of links in the navbox must be at least five
- There may not be navboxes within other navboxes
Deletion policy
Editors must start a discussion on any articles they feel should be deleted. This can be done on the forums and in the Discord server. Staff members may remove articles if they feel they are inappropriate.
Candidates for deletion tag
Editors should only use this tag on articles that were created out of vandalism, or when a discussion on an article being deleted is ongoing. It is not supposed to be placed on articles that the editor wishes to be deleted.
