:{{Section|Alts|'''''Using Alt Accounts'''''}} — Users should stick to using only a single account, but if multiple accounts used by the same user are found, then a warning will be issued to the user's main account asking to remove their secondary account. If the warning is ignored, then the secondary account will be removed by staff. | :{{Section|Alts|'''''Using Alt Accounts'''''}} — Users should stick to using only a single account, but if multiple accounts used by the same user are found, then a warning will be issued to the user's main account asking to remove their secondary account.

:{{Section|Ads|'''''Advertising'''''}} — Any links or redirects to other media that are not used for citations or interwiki links. If you are unsure about your link being classified as an advertisement, ask a staff member! Most links relating to news articles or videos relating to Nintendo are usually allowed, as long as it relates to the wiki article. Mass-spamming advertisements across the wiki will instead be counted as [[#Vandalism|vandalism]] and a warning may be skipped. | :{{Section|Ads|'''''Advertising'''''}} — Any links or redirects to other media that are not used for citations or interwiki links.

:{{Section|Plagiarism|'''''Plagiarism'''''}} — Any content that you write on the wiki should be your own content or content that is ''based'' on other content. {{Wp|Plagiarizing}} (i.e. copy-pasting) content is where content that another author wrote is directly copied and saved on the wiki. Basing your content on another's writing is accepted, but you must make sure that your own writing doesn't directly copy that author. The most common offense is taking content from other wikis, which is also not accepted under plagiarism. The easiest way to avoid this: write things yourself! If you don't feel confident in your own writing, or if you don't have the time to do all your own writing, feel free to send any info you have to another editor! | :{{Section|Plagiarism|'''''Plagiarism'''''}} — Any content that you write on the wiki should be your own content or content that is ''based'' on other content. {{Wp|Plagiarizing}} (i.e. copy-pasting) content is where content that another author wrote is directly copied and saved on the wiki.

The same goes for images: all images that you upload must be [[Guidelines:Files#Sourcing|sourced]] correctly. Uploading files as your own work falls under plagiarism, so make sure all of your images and properly sourced. Ask another editor if you need help with sourcing your image! | ||
:{{Section|Harassing Others|'''''Harassing Others'''''}} — Be civil. Do not purposefully attempt to annoy, anger, or make someone uncomfortable in any situation. If a conflict emerges, stay civil and ask for a staff member to solve the problem. Do '''NOT''' attempt to continue pressuring either the staff who made the decision or the other person involved in the discussion. Further pressing on the question can fall under both ignoring staff '''and''' harassing others! | :{{Section|Harassing Others|'''''Harassing Others'''''}} — Be civil.
