As an official Pokémon Revolution Online (PRO) resource, PRO Wiki and its subresources (including the PRO Wiki Discord) are subject to the same code of conduct (COC) as every other platform in PRO's network of services. All editors are required to adhere to applicable PRO rules in addition to the wiki-specific ruleset (detailed infra) when communicating with others and adding, modifying, and removing content throughout PRO Wiki.

Violating the COC may result in temporary or permanent restrictions or revocations of editing privileges. Extreme and repeated transgressions may also warrant game-account punishments.

As a rule of thumb, do not discuss or submit content that would be considered unacceptable anywhere else in PRO. When in doubt about the permissibility of your actions, consult the wiki's staff.

Wiki Rules

Policies

Policies are codified as PRO Wiki's own ruleset, which must be followed in addition to all the applicable below-defined PRO ruleset. Such transgressions—depending on the severity of the non-complied rule, the degree of infringement, and the violator's prior disciplinary history—may result in blocks (bans) from editing PRO Wiki. Additionally, corrective measures, such as reversions of violative edits, may be performed.

Blockable infractions include but aren't limited to:

  • Vandalism
  • Inappropriate images
  • Malicious links
  • Misbehavior
  • Server abuse
  • Manual of Style (MoS) violations
  • Miscellaneous rules

Vandalism

Vandalism is defined as activity that deliberately or maliciously undermines the intended overall quality of content. Vandalistic actions include

  • Gratuitously removing valuable information, images, templates, or contents therein
  • Knowingly adding disinformation to pages
  • Obfuscating the clarity of writing (e.g., using another language)
  • Deliberately adding extraneous, duplicate, or untopical content
  • Malicious or otherwise irrelevant advertisements and external links

Vandalism is prohibited even for content you submitted yourself: authoring edits does not authorize you to remove them. PRO Wiki holds dominion over all content on this resource, which every editor consents to when submitting edits and uploading files.

Inappropriate images

Malicious links

Misbehavior

Users are allowed to communicate with others on the wiki chiefly through User pages, Talk pages, and changelog notes. When using these mediums to interact with others, you must be respectful to everyone potentially addressed.

Server abuse

Although PRO Wiki has instated robust security policies and mechanisms, it is not impossible to harm the host's server (deliberately or ingenuously) with the content submitted. For special types of edits, we ask that you are mindful not to exploit or add excessive overhead to the server in any way.

Potential cases of abuse include but aren't limited to:

  • Inserting server-injection statements
  • Repeatedly editing articles containing massive amounts of bytes (whether preexisting or created) within a short timespan
  • (D)DoS attacks

Any deliberate attempts to abuse the server will immediately warrant a ban. If such behavior is reasonably believed to be unintentional, it may only result in a verbal warning for the first occurrence.

MoS violations

The MoS is an instruction manual used to improve the quality and consistency of written content. While MoS violations—especially minor or unintentional ones—typically do not result in any disciplinary action, they may require it depending on the severity, recurrence, and intentionality of such noncompliances.

All editors are encouraged to be mindful of the MoS guidelines detailed further on in this article.

Miscellaneous rules

Any behavior, activity, or content not defined in the above-detailed wiki-specific ruleset may still be prohibited here if it is prohibited elsewhere in PRO's domain.

As a metarule, anything punishable on other PRO resources may be punishable on PRO Wiki as well. Just as you're not allowed to discuss ban cases, for instance, on the forums (outside of Discipline Appeals), in-game chat, and Discord, you are not allowed to discuss it here, either.

All applicable rulesets are subject to further changes (effectively immediately upon revision) and the discretion of the PRO Wiki team's interpretation. When in doubt, consult one of the wiki's Editors or Administrators.

Manual of Style

The Manual of Style (MoS) is a set of writing guidelines that instructs editors to conform to the stylistic guidelines when writing, entitling, and linking articles. It's intended to professionalize and uniformize the writing style to ensure standard quality and consistency of written content.

Language

English only

Currently English is the only written language available and intended for PRO Wiki. There are no translations available for other languages, nor are they planned due to the infeasibility of it.

All editors are required to write PRO Wiki content strictly in the English language. PRO Wiki users may use other languages to communicate on discussion and user pages if they are mutually fluent and consenting, but not on the main article pages.

No profanity

Grammar and spelling

As a monolingually English-written encyclopedia, editors are enjoined to follow all conventions for syntax, punctuation, and spelling to the best of their abilities. Various proofreading tools are available to assist you with refining your writing, which is especially advisable if English is not your primary language.

Grammaticality and spellchecking are crucial not just for professionalism but also for clarity. Many heterolingual readers might depend on translators to understand PRO Wiki's content, and mistranslations are likelier to occur if there are spelling or syntactic errors.

Objectivity

Content is intended to be as factual as possible. Factuality isn't just about correct information; it's also about your manner of expression. You should present such facts objectively and neutrally, unalloyed by subjective interpretations and personal biases.

Additionally, do not use subjective language; rather, use the most specific and factual terms you can when writing descriptions.

For example, refer to the following contrast between objective and subjective descriptors below.

ObjectSubjectiveObjective
CaterpieCaterpie is a weak Pokémon.Caterpie has a BST of 195, which is statistically below the average Pokémon's BST.

Veracity

All information should be as accurate and up-to-date as maintainable. It is acceptable if an article is left temporarily incomplete, but all the content on it should be correct to the best of your knowledge.

If in doubt, take time to fact-check information before submitting it. If you can't verify it in a timely fashion, do not submit it in any potentially misleading fashion if you are to submit it altogether.
