:{{Section|NSFW|'''''Posting NSFW Content'''''}} — Separated from Non-Zelda content and vandalism, posting {{Wp|Not safe for work|'''N'''ot '''S'''afe '''F'''or '''W'''ork}} content is strictly forbidden. Immediate action will be taken, and NO warnings will be given before a permanent ban is given. NSFW content involves any media that isn't safe or appropriate for the general public, hence the name Not Safe For Work. | :{{Section|NSFW|'''''Posting NSFW Content'''''}} — Separated from Non-Zelda content and vandalism, posting {{Wp|Not safe for work|'''N'''ot '''S'''afe '''F'''or '''W'''ork}} content is strictly forbidden.

:{{Section|Vandalism|'''''Vandalism'''''}} — Adding/replacing content with gibberish, blatantly false information, or anything generally unhelpful. This is different from Non-Zelda Content and NSFW in the way that this is not trying to add things from different media, but just outright spamming. If you see an article that got attacked, send a message to another editor! You can also make use of the undo function to rid of the vandalism, but you will also want another editor to help check to make sure everything is back to normal. If a user is attacking the wiki and mass-vandalizing pages, then a warning may be skipped and a second-offense ban will be issued in order to stop the user from vandalizing more pages. | :{{Section|Vandalism|'''''Vandalism'''''}} — Adding/replacing content with gibberish, blatantly false information, or anything generally unhelpful.
