Section 3: Article Requirements
What Qualifies as a 'Production'
A qualifying production is defined as 'a Film, Series/Show, Short, or Live-Action ROBLOX Video'. ROBLOX Records and 'Low Quality productions' do not qualify. Shorts are generally classified as videos with a distinct structure between 3 minutes and 15 minutes, whilst Films exceed the 15 minute mark and can extend to any amount of time.
ROBLOX Records & Low Quality Production Pages
ROBLOX Records are productions filmed using the recording software built-in with the ROBLOX Player, without cropping of the player GUI and buttons. Low quality productions are defined as productions containing very limited and poor editing, and contain improper cropping of the ROBLOX Player GUI and buttons. These do not warrant articles and will be deleted - repeated creation of these articles can be punished.
Film Articles for Directors who do not Qualify
People that do not qualify to have a director article about themselves (requirements below, see 'What is required to have an Article'), are permitted to create only one article about one of their films. Upcoming films are included under this restriction. Extra articles will be deleted and users can be punished for repeated offenses. People that do qualify for director articles are not restricted to one article (excluding upcoming films, see below).
No Director/Producer is allowed to have more than 3 upcoming project pages (if you qualify for a directors article)
Extra articles will be deleted. Released production articles are not restricted if you qualify. For people who do not qualify for a director article (requirements below), see the above rule.
What is required to have an Article
- Director and Company articles must have 3 completed productions to be valid.
- Actor/Actress articles must have 3 completed productions or 1 season of a series to be valid.
- Producers, Writers, Other Film Crew Members must have 3 completed productions to receive a page.
Historical Significance
Some articles may be excluded from the above requirements if they considered to be historically significant to ROBLOXiwood by the administrators.
