Topic on Talk:Wyatt Quitter

All the recent changes that I've made are based on the art of Fancymancer.

Edits have been rolled back, and I left a further note that I'll reiterate here: lore edits must adhere to our contribution policies regardless of source. Additionally, Fancymancer's art is not a priori definitive for this wiki page.

OMG! Most of us are kids! This is a wiki about a game! Is this a legal document?? Do you expect us to read all of that and memorize it??? Anyway I asked from Fancymancer permission to Upload to the pages of the three characters, some of his drawings in which the characters show love for each other. Is there a problem with that?

Mm, you must be new here, so let me clear up some misconceptions.

1) To be brief: "most of us are kids" is factually incorrect. Additionally, since we cannot determine who is a minor and who is an adult without compromising people's safety, we treat all users as though they are adults, with all the responsibilities that entails.

2) This wiki is 100% volunteer-run. The contribution policies evolved because people got into huge fights, and we had to lay out stricter ground rules to prevent future conflicts from escalating to the same degree. One component of many of those arguments was people overriding other people's contributions, or imposing character features that people didn't want. Thus, there is a protocol for how to propose new character features – including relationships being added to players' pages. You don't have to memorize it (that's why it's on a public page, after all), but you should read it to get a general sense of our expectations of you.

3) Asking for permission is not the same as receiving permission, so: yes, there is a problem, and that problem is you still don't have permission. Additionally, even if you did have permission, and did put those pictures onto the players' wiki pages, that doesn't mean those relationships can be documented on this wiki while evading the contribution policy. People using fan art to establish character features & relationships was, in fact, another part of why the contribution policies were developed.

4) Fancymancer is perfectly capable of uploading his own art, as you can see from his contributions page. In fact, it's considered best practice on this wiki to have artists upload their own work. This is because we have had conflicts arise over art being uploaded by others; some of these conflicts have also contributed to the contribution policies in their own way. As such, please trust that Fancymancer will upload the work he wants uploaded, and that any work that isn't uploaded to the wiki is a deliberate choice.

Being part of any community is a responsibility; we have merely codified some of those responsibilities for everyone's benefit. I hope that you can take this as a learning experience and grow past this misstep, just as I did when I joined my first internet communities.
