This page is a guide that helps you with how things work around here including our rules and how to operate here. with what's happening on the wiki and knowing what's happening on the wiki. This can sound, are the rules tight and difficult? No. Our rules are very easy in a way that everyone can understand and get familiarized with without any problem or doubts. What we ask for most is that everyone
(including us) is to show shows respect to each other.
Respecting others and their opinions, as well as respecting whether there is a doubt about a statement or something, is the key to enjoying the fun and cooperativity, both on and off the wiki. If there's a page or wrestler that you dislike, please do not mess up their page or make mean comments about them. Even if it's if the wrestler is a face or a heel, that is not cool.
And with that said, let's get started.
- Tutorial: If you are new to this sort of things, of editing, you may want to check the tutorial and Manual of Style, on how to edit, and how the things work when you are editing.
- Do not be shy: Every wiki has sections called "Stubs" and "Wanted Articles" that need help, so do not be shy, go out there do what you do best. Please note, that in the wanted articles, you only can create articles about Japanese Wrestling (Puroresu), if you create an article that has nothing to do with Japanese Wrestling (Puroresu), for example, Ring of Honor, it will get immediately deleted, due to the following reason.
- The right template?: If you have doubts finding the template that your article needs, you can find a list of useful templates on Category:Templates.
- What to do when having doubts: If you have any concerns or doubts, contact an admin, or someone experienced to help in what you need.
- Wiki Behavior: Please do not make any disruption, nor vandalism, nor swearing, nor harassment. Again, though, if you have any concern about a segment or something, please go to the article's talk page or make a blog post about, but inform an admin or a moderator until a proper decision is reached. Harassment is not allowed, doing that will result in a ban. Also do not swear, doing it will result in a warning and later a ban.
- Vandalism: Please do not make do not vandalize the wiki, this is mean to be an encyclopedia and reliable source, not a playground or a jungle. People who come here only to vandalize, will not be tolerated and therefore immidiately recieve an indefinite ban, therefore any kind of vandalism will not be tolerated, including things such insults (e.g. "Your mom", "lick the motherf*****'s ass" or "being posed with Chucky"), unrleated or sensitive images, sensitve titles or any kind of content, will result in an indefinite ban, thus also violates the "Non-PG Content" policy, thus please do not even try to make vandalism, as it is not tolerated.
- Sign your posts: When leaving messages on talk pages, please be polite. And sign your post. This can be done by typing four tildes: this ~ is a tilde. Example: ~~~~ will turn into something like this: TheUser(talk) in the old format of message walls, this is called your signature.
- Everything related to the personal life of wrestler should be sourced: Everything related to the personal life of wrestlers should be source in order to avoid controversies regarding a statement on a wrestler, if it's not sourced it will be automatically reverted and if, and if it continues persistently without providing a source, it can lead from a week to 3-day ban, this to avoid any controversy or polemic that can jeopardize the wiki's credibily. Again, we do not base in sources only, but mostly by facts, hence it should by like that.
- Post any kind of important and rare pictures: This includes a screenshot from a video or a live stream or any website otherwise because the main objective is to illustrate the best as we can.
- Do not move or delete pages: Do not delete or move something from a page before consulting the person that created the page unless that person is inactive for more than 30 days, or you always can contact an admin through his Talk Page. All of this is to avoid any trouble or if you feel that page needs to be moved, make a discussion page about the subject, all of this to have a proper decision.
- Blocking System: The severity of a person's ban varies according to their actions, simple actions such as violating the Non-PG content policy to vandalism and copyright may get from a soft to an indefinite ban. Please follow the rules and act accordingly. Any person, who misbehaves and violates a policy get its respective punishment regarding their actions, regardless of their rights and privileges, so please do not misbehave.
- Copyright policy: All the written material does belong to the wiki and therefore it is All rights reserved regardless of what the Fandom's Terms of Use says and it cannot be redistributed without proper attribution, including to other third party websites (e.g. Wikipedia). Breaching this policy will result in a severe ban at the discovery, and if it continues, the person in question gets an indifinte ban without questions to ask.
- Image policy: All images used in the wiki are under the Section 107 of the United Sates Copyright Act of 1976, which stipulates:

In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use [...]
- We understand that sometimes people want to use the pictures here in the wiki to illustrate something; Although keep in mind, most photos used here on the wiki come from mostly, for example, Google or Twitter, thus unless it is a wrestler that publishes the image, keep in mind that we do not own any of the pictures in wiki and therefore their owners might not want them to be reshared, so if uploaded always with the Fair Use license, otherwise if not uploaded with that license, the image might get deleted or reviewd in order to fit the policy.
- If you want to reupload to a new version, first see if the image is connected to multiple pages and if it is, upload a new image with another name and then replace it on the pageholder you want, you might only re-upload to a new version, only if it is not connected to one page, this to not to cause too much confusion with the images illustrated.
- If the owner of a picture directly uploads his picture, in order to avoid any controversies, please upload your photo with the license option, "I created this image myself." or upload it and use the {{Self}} template in the license option and categorize in the catgeory [[Category:Self Uploaded Pictures]], otherwise the image might get deleted or uploaded with a Fair Use license and thus the rule above apply.
- Audio Content: Any kind of song uploaded here in the wiki is appliable to the same rules above (image policy) and thus must be licensed per the rule above, otherwise the song might get deleted and the person in question, might get blocked. In this wiki, only official songs used in an event or made for the wrestler or stable in question, published by their respective company is permitted. Sample songs found on YouTube or elsewhere, only if the offical company publishes it (through albums, singles or online plataforms such as on "YouTube Music", "Itunes", "Spotify" or in the company's official YouTube channel), otherwise shall not be uploaded and if the person gets caught it can get a 1-month ban.
- Wikipedia Content: Please, do not copy and paste content from Wikipedia, Wikipedia content is not allowed here and must be avoided at all costs. If a person is catched posting a paragraph or a setence, well-writen from Wikipedia once in a while gets exempted. Otherwise, if a person continues to post persistently content from Wikipedia, the person in question gets banned, with the severity of the ban being decided, depending on the quantity of the content that is being posted from Wikipedia. So please, do not posting content from Wikipedia, it is not allowed, not welcomed and must be avoided at all costs, so please do not even try.
- Stub Articles: Avoid making stub articles, with a sentence or an image or even an infobox, stub articles are not admited and thus will get deleted immediately without any kind of notice. If you would like to create an article, be free to do so but not any kind of stub articles, this to avoid sinking the wiki with stub articles, instead improve them, as it is much recommended and much better.
- The golden rule: This is meant to be a stable place and a reliable source, dedicated to the world of Puroresu. As such, the active administrative team have a word on pages, pictures, or any other contribution, in discussion pages, any person can vote to prevent a contribution, article, picture, video from being eliminated or even move a page and express their opinion, as long as they do not break the guidelines and as long as they are not rude nor disruptive. Although, this should be no issue. Also, please note that this is not like any unfair place where the admins do not do whatever they want, if they do it here, they are severely punished (i.e. losing their rights).
- Page creating: On this Wiki, you can only create articles about Japanese companies, and championships, you can also create just wrestlers that had stayed some time in Japan like in a tour for example or if that wrestler from outside Japan has won an accomplishment in Japan and Japanese wrestlers or wrestlers that worked with a Japanese company. These are only about Japanese wrestling and not beyond.
- Fan content: Please do not do fan content here, this is an encyclopedia, therefore we do not accept fan content, fan content articles will be speedily eliminated from here due to this being an encyclopedia. If you want to do fan content this may not be the best place for it.
- Non-PG-content: In this wiki, we do not allow aggressive images, for instance, being hit with a table on fire, aggressive language with expressions, for example, "to kill", "to death" or even "on fire", any violation of this rule can variate between a 1 week to a 1-year ban, depending on the severity, in an encyclopedia we have to show the facts but not aggressive content, therefore as said any violation and a block can be guaranteed.
- Unblocking System: After a conflict is over, and you may want to restart, just contact the admin's wall on Community Central, but if the person continues to create any more conflicts might be blocked indefinitely, depending on the severity.
