When I reach the administrator status (I'm aiming to become a bureaucrat on this wiki), I would rather you said I will be "given the keys" rather than "given the mop". | |||
If there is a BJAODN (Bad Jokes And Other Deleted Nonsense) policy around here, I will add that kind of thing. | |||

I have realised that users can be blocked for | I have realised that users can be blocked for several different offences. I know because I have been blocked twice from editing the SmashWiki for participating in an edit war. I want to stamp this out by introducing a Warning System, inspired by the warning system from the Super Mario Wiki, the wiki I originated from. If you have any questions about Warnings, please ask me, or find them on the "Your Questions Answered". | ||
Templates to be introduced are "Userspace", "Reminder", "Sigfix", "Warning" and "Last Warning". Offences will be organised using 4 levels. The more severe the offence, the higher its level. If a user repeatedly commits an offence, it will be escalated up a level. Offences marked with an asterisk (*) are only to be warned by administrators. If you catch someone commiting a level 3 or level 4 offence, or an offence that can only be warned by administrators, notify an administrator immediately. Creating new stubs was originally a Level 1 offence, but then I had a better idea inspired by Wikipedia. | Templates to be introduced are "Userspace", "Reminder", "Sigfix", "Warning" and "Last Warning".

The SmashWiki is a great place to be, eh? | The SmashWiki is a great place to be, eh? We strive to have the most comprehensive articles and best resources available about our favourite fighting game series and its masterpieces. This is done by having a nice mix of quality editing and a supportive community. | ||
Which brings us here. It has recently come to our attention that the vast majority of your edits seem to be on your userspace pages (userpages, talk pages, sub-pages, etc.). While we understand how important it is to become known in the community, the wiki as a whole would benefit more from mainspace edits (articles, categories, templates, etc). | |||
If you are unsure how you could edit this | |||
Please don't see this template as a discouragement from enjoying the SmashWiki community. This wiki is most and foremost for mainspace edits related to the Super Smash Bros. series and the masterpieces in Brawl, which is true. | |||
Warning: | |||
This is a Warning to stop your inappropriate behaviour ((''insert offence here'')) on the SmashWiki. Please follow the rules and policies or you will be blocked from editing this site. | |||
Last Warning: | |||
This is your Last Warning. The next time you vandalise the SmashWiki or break the rules the way you have been, you ''will'' be blocked from editing this site. | |||
Block: | |||
(''insert username here'') has been blocked (''insert expiry time here'') from editing the SmashWiki for (''insert offence here''). | |||

'''Winning Arguments'''. Sometimes users sockpuppet to win arguments, usually related to proposals. This is called meatpuppetry, and is also not allowed on SmashWiki. | '''Winning Arguments'''. Sometimes users sockpuppet to win arguments, usually related to proposals. This is called meatpuppetry, and is also not allowed on SmashWiki. | ||
'''Voting more than once in polls'''. When the SmashWiki holds a community poll (e.g. a browser poll), users can only vote once. However, sometimes users may sockpuppet so that the side of the poll they vote for ends up having the most votes. Even if whatever has the most votes in a poll is not what you voted for, that does not matter, because your vote has still been counted. | |||
'''Circumventing Policies'''. Sometimes users sockpuppet because they think that they can avoid having to follow SmashWiki Policies by doing so. Each policy does not apply per account, but per PERSON. | |||
'''"Good Hand" and "Bad Hand" accounts'''. A user might use their original account to make some good contributions, but may use a sockpuppet to do a lot of damage to the wiki through disruptiveness, vandalism and trolling without getting caught doing so. Do not think you can use a sockpuppet to damage and disrupt the wiki without being caught, the administrators WILL catch you, they WILL block the sockpuppet account, and at their discretion, they may block your original account. | |||
'''Arguing without Meatpuppeting'''. Sometimes users create Strawman Socks, which is, obviously, called Strawman Socking. Strawman Socks are sockpuppets that are created to argue one side of an argument in a deliberately offensive or irritational way to direct support to the other side. | |||
'''Multiple Administrator Accounts'''. Users cannot have more than one administrator account. If an admin leaves, returns as a new account and then is nominated for adminship, s/he must give up the administrator rights of the old account. | |||

Administrators can use CheckUser to check if a user is a sockpuppet of an existing account. CheckUser shows the IP address of the user, but occasionally it also shows the person controlling the account. However, there are some more obvious signs of sockpuppetry. | Administrators can use CheckUser to check if a user is a sockpuppet of an existing account.

Remember that sockpuppets aren't as easy to spot in SmashWiki as they are in real life. | ||
Sometimes, a user calls their sockpuppet a name that is a variation of the name of their original account or their username on another wiki. Here are some examples I've seen on Mario Wiki, with the username and the name of the sockpuppet (I am not making these up). | Sometimes, a user calls their sockpuppet a name that is a variation of the name of their original account or their username on another wiki, or may use their original username spelt backwards.

Sometimes users call their sockpuppets completely different names, and may even use a different IP address. In other words, some sockpuppets wear disguises that make them harder to identify. However, it is possible to compare edits made by two accounts to see if one account is a sockpuppet. | Sometimes users call their sockpuppets completely different names, and may even use a different IP address.

If a sockpuppet is discovered, take action. If you're an administrator, go to Special:Blockip to block the sockpuppet, which should have an expiry time of infinite. The talkpage of the sockpuppet is viable for deletion, unless it is deemed possibly useful for future reference. The IP address should be autoblocked, but a range block should be enforced if the sockpuppet was created on a different IP address. The IP Block/Range Block may affect some legitimate users and should be temporary. If the user who created the sockpuppet was blocked/banned at the time they sockpuppeted, and still are blocked, then they must have created the sockpuppet as an act of Ban Evasion. If the block is temporary, you should change the block settings so either the block has been extended, or it becomes an infinite ban. It is best to keep an eye on users that have sockpuppeted in the past to make sure that they do not sockpuppet again. | If a sockpuppet is discovered, take action.

If you are not an administrator (or in other words, a common user) and you discover a sockpuppet, notify an administrator immediately, but be sure to include the sockpuppet's username so they know who to block. | If you are not an administrator (or in other words, a common user) and you discover a sockpuppet, notify an administrator immediately, but be sure to include the sockpuppet's username so they know who to block. | ||
