abstract
| - Owing to the wiki being a collaborative effort, please make contributions that others are likely to participate. Writing fluff of subject that is obscure and apply only to your parodies kills the sense of sharing and collaboration, which is sad, really. 1.
* Adding new fluff (storyline material) to a page is by all means encouraged. However, writing over someone else's fluff can be done as long as it doesn't change the context of the sentence or paragraph. Only admins can delete them outright. Also, try to integrate them with existing content as opposed to appending them to the end of a section. 2.
* New fluff that is added to any page is subject to the clause on notability (Rule #9). Any fluff that is added but references a parody of somebody not notable is strongly discouraged. 3.
* As with the rule in Wikipedia, this wiki is not an indiscriminate collection of (mis)information. Cruft like several articles detailing a large-scale fictional war or some other event may be added to the wiki, but subject to both Rules #5 and #9 and self-contained within their series page. 4.
* Completely bizarre fluff that does not fit the general impression of the subject (like "Fegelein was originally born as a girl" or "Fegelein contracted herpes in 1934") is not advisable. 5.
* Subject to Rule #9 below, being mentioned in a parody (for example, in a Hitler Reviews Scene) doesn't qualify a subject (sportsmen, among others) to have his own page. Write in the associated series/scene page, if you really have to. 6.
* All mentions must be backed by legit materials (i.e. If you would like to mention something Fegelein did in the Parody Universe be sure there's an actual parody about it out there.) With that said, include references into articles, either in this manner or this manner. 7.
* Creating your own Unterganger article is allowed, but is now subject to the clause on notability (Rule #9). Introductions are better done in the Downfall Parodies Forum's Introductions board. 8.
* On the page you can give a brief bio on yourself, the list of parodies you have made, and ones you're planning to make. 9.
* Do not make separate pages for these items (unless they're a subpage) or else they will be moved or deleted. 10.
* Do not add very personal or sensitive information on ANY Unterganger page, even if the Unterganger in question is okay with it being on their page, or they've added it to their page themselves. Any personal/sensitive information added to any Unterganger page is subject to deletion IMMEDIATELY, and may result in the user who added the information to be subject to the blocking policy. 11.
* If you see any sort of personal information on a page, remove it from the page and contact an admin IMMEDIATELY. 12.
* Creation of are now discouraged, as they have proved to be unable to graduate from the . Add to Parody Catchphrases instead. 13.
* When creating a new article on a subject (cats, for example), please consider if you can make the article a topical one instead (e.g. Animals in the parodies) which can cover all the other similarly-related subjects. See the next rule for information on notability. 14.
* All pages (unless specified otherwise), especially new ones, are subject for review on notability. Subject matters not qualifying notability checks are eligible for deletion or merger with a related article. Similarly, a group of pages lacking notability in its own right, but are related to each other, may get merged into a single, new article. The following lists the article categories, and their notability criteria: 15.
* Characters: Recurring character who appears in multiple parodies/series by either one or several Untergangers, NOT merely mentioned (see Rule #4), OR being a notable cast of its own Parody Theme. Downfall characters are exempt from this check. 16.
* Parodies: Has well-defined plot and popular (in terms of views). 17.
* Parody Themes: Notable (many parodies, many views) 18.
* Parody Series: Has distinct structure (as opposed to being minor derivatives of popular scenes like Hitler Reviews) AND is notable (has a couple thousand collective views or more). 19.
* Untergangers: Has 1000 collective views or higher (on parodies only!) 20.
* Events: Has an associated Series but NOT speculative or a fanfic. See #13. 21.
* The above rule is exempted on subject that has won awards (Such as the UotM, select categories on the UA, the HoF, the BNUU, or the BUA. Parody of the Month does not apply). 22.
* Once here, it stays here – this applies to basically all content provided they passed the notability and validity checks. If, for any reason, you wish to erase personal information (as per right to be forgotten), consult the admins. Do not blank pages. 23.
* Write the article as a Wikipedia article is expected to look like. 24.
* Fanfics are restricted to subpages in your User namespace (e.g. User:yourname/fanfic_title). Keep it all in one place, and do not spill your fanfic material onto other pages that might relate to it. See #2. 25.
* Consult the admins before employing bots or scripts, or otherwise changes having wiki-wide effects. For admins, endeavour to consult other admins for review on such actions.
