User Agreement
By editing Fanganronpa Wiki, you agree to abide by Wikia’s Terms of Use.
- This means that by editing or participating here, you agree that:
- You are over 13 years of age.
- You will not abuse, harass, threaten or intimidate other users.
- You will not post explicit, homophobic, racist, or otherwise deliberately offensive material.
- You will not use the Wiki as a platform to advertise your goods or services.
- You will not post or solicit information which invades others' right to privacy (such as personal information).
- The above applies to all parts of our Wiki, including message walls, forums, talk pages, userpages, usernames, avatars and profile information, and breaking any of the above rules will lead to a ban, potentially a permanent ban depending on the offense.
General Guidelines
Discussions
- If a user asks a question on an Admin's wall, do not answer on the Admin's behalf or insert yourself into the conversation, as it blurs the line between moderators and editors.
User Pages
- Fan art is only permitted on user pages or user profiles if can be proven you are the original artist, or can prove permission from the original artist.
- Using your user profile, message walls, talk pages, or any other pages on the Wiki as an opportunity to roleplay a Danganronpa character or fan character is not permitted.
- Roleplays in the main discussion boards is allowed. Creating pages about roleplays is prohibited. If you'd like to put all of the roleplay'a information somewhere, you can put it on your user page or on a blog.
- Do not add personal identifying information, such as your real full name, full family names, or phone numbers, anywhere on your profile. It will be removed for security purposes.
- Deliberately offensive material is not permitted on user pages or user profiles, as per our User Agreement. This includes - but is not limited to - slurs of any kind.
- Editors may have multiple sandboxes. The sandboxes can be related to a Fanganronpa that hasn't been/won't be added as a main page or the sandboxes can be a personal Fangan. Having a sandbox not related to either of those is prohibited.
- Do not edit other users' sandboxes or userprofiles, even if you mean well. If you find an error in someone's work in progress, or have a suggestion, please bring it up on their message wall rather than editing directly.
- The only exception to this rule is collaborations between users (please contact an Admin first to let us know), or in the case of Admins patrolling redlinks, broken images, or replacing templates.
Standards
Notability
While this is a Wiki for Danganronpa fan work, not all fan works will be permitted on this Wiki.
- The most baseline consideration for a Fangan to be added to the Wiki is a fully completed Prologue and Chapter 1 in both their entirety publicly released and in some form of watchable and/or playable media. This ensures that all Fangans archived include at least one completed murder case, the core feature of a Danganronpa game.
- Character pages and sprite galleries may only be created after Chapter 3 has been released, to ensure there is a decent amount of content to be written about each character.
- Only playable games and video based fan games based on original stories are permitted. In most cases, there should be an attempt to recreate the feel of a real Danganronpa game.
- Comics, fanfiction, dating sims, and fan games or video series that are retellings of canon material are not permitted. Other kinds of fiction may be permitted in very special cases, for example exploring prior Killing Games as shown in Danganronpa V3, but an Admin should be contacted prior to content being added to the Wiki.
- Fanganronpas already on the wiki may have non-visual novel spinoff material documented alongside their original work only if created by the original creator(s). Spinoff material should be contained to the original pages as much as possible (depending on the scope of the spinoff material) rather than creating new pages.
- Certain fangames of exceedingly high public interest and online virility, such as Danganronpa: Kill Cure or Brave Danganronpa: Coward's Paradise, may be given a page before a public Prologue or Chapter 1 at the Admin's discretion - they still must have sufficient information available online to make an interesting page, and are only permitted a main landing page, no character pages.
- If a project is a playable Fanganronpa, it must be a release that is in a playable state: meaning, it should not have significant bugs that are game-breaking, up to but not limited to: major crashes, difficulty booting the game, and save errors.
- Because the majority of the content on this Wiki is written by our small team of staff members, if our staff members cannot get your game running correctly it will not qualify to be archived here until the bugs have been fixed.
- Non-English Fangans which do not have an English translation anywhere, no matter the number of chapters, are only permitted a main landing page, no character pages, until such time as the Fangan has an accessible English translation, be it official or by a reputable fan translator.
- Before adding a Fanganronpa, submit it in the Suggestion Mega Thread or else it will get deleted.
If the Fanganronpa does not meet the standards listed in this section yet an editor still wishes for it to be on this wiki, please contact an Admin so they can judge the material accordingly or else they may be removed without warning.
Prohibited
Danganronpa fan work that contains this material is not under any circumstances permitted on this Wiki. If an editor believes a fan work should be added despite the rules listed below, contact an Admin. However, the answer will likely be no.
- Fangans in the form of fanfics are NOT allowed on this wiki.
- The staff members of this wiki have received numerous complaints about this rule. We are aware that some people don't have access to turn their fangan into a playable game or video series, but this rule still applies. The reason is because it would lack additional information.
- Fanganronpa Wiki is run on a Good Faith model for both fanwork and the creators and teams behind said fanworks. If we feel this Good Faith is being broken by words, actions, or attitudes, we reserve the right to Blacklist and/or permanently ban anyone acting in this manner, even if said reasons aren't listed in our Rules and Guidelines. This extends to conduct outside the scope of the Wikia website, such as on Discord, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
- Under no circumstances will any fangames using traced material from other fangames be allowed on the Wiki. If a creator is discovered to be tracing from other fan creator's work, they and any of their Fanganronpa-material risk being permanently banned from the Wiki. Tracing from official Danganronpa images is permitted to some extent, as long as the majority of the artwork is original.
- No crossover Fanganronpas using main characters from trademarked franchises, such as Sonic the Hedgehog or Total Drama Island.
- No fan works using "roleplay-style" premade models, eg: Yandere Sim, Gachaverse, flash games, dollmakers, etc. All artwork and characters must be the work of the creator's own team or otherwise commissioned.
- Exceptions are made for fan work material using canon material as a base, such as using canon sprites to stay "on-model" for a creator's own work.
- Using canon Monokuma sprites is also an exception to this rule.
Image Guidelines
General Rules
- Images should be uploaded in the best quality available, and high resolution where possible.
- Pornographic or otherwise nude/sexual images are not permitted - even if they are canonical to any fan-content such as a CG or a sprite - as they are against Wikia’s Terms of Use. If you are unsure whether an image breaks this rule, contact an Admin before uploading.
- In image galleries, make an effort to describe what the image is in the caption, such as the Fanganronpa it came from and what is going on.
- Fanart in articles or galleries is not permitted.
Filenames
In order to ensure our image database is easy to search, filenames should, at minimum, include the name of the Fanganronpa and FULL First name and Surname of any characters pictured, except in the circumstance in which a large group of characters are pictured, in which case you would use the name of the group of people, or if it is a scanned page of predominantly text. E.g:
- SDRA2 - Sora - Full Body Sprite (1).png
- SDRA2 - Chapter 3 CG - The students at the pool.png
- DRRB - Seishi Yodogawa - Icon (Bust).png
- Danganronpa Another - Kizuna Tomori Character Illustration.jpg
Surname or first name only is not acceptable.
Any image which does not follow the above guidelines will be deleted without warning.
Userpages
- While uploading images for your userpage is allowed, it is strongly suggested that they are uploaded to a service such an external hosting service such as IMGUR and embedded, in order to make our image uploads easier to moderate.
- Any non-related images MUST include the prefix NON-RELATED in the title of the image, eg:
- NON-RELATED_Pikachu_Dancing.gif
- NON-RELATED Drawing I Made.png
- ALL non-related pictures must have an image name.
- Any images uploaded to your userpage including nudity, gore, jumpscares, deliberately offensive content, or which otherwise break our User Agreement guidelines will be removed.
Vandalism
The following behavior is considered vandalism:
- Adding irrelevant or nonsensical information to any article.
- Deliberately removing correct information with no clarification in the edit summary or contacting an admin.
- Using offensive language or breaking the Wikia Terms of Use outlined in our User Agreement.
- Writing in a language other than English, because Admins cannot moderate it.
- Exceptions are given to non-English fan-content on article pages such as names or titles, however discussion on the wiki and main bodies of article should remain fully in English.
- Edit-warring with another editor (continuously editing/undoing edits on a page to change or remove another editor's contribution). Conflicts or debates between editors should be taken to the article's talk page or the individuals' message walls. If necessary, contact an Admin to mediate the dispute.
- Raiding the Wiki as part of a group of vandals making similar edits in a short period of time will result in an instant permanent ban.
