The following rules and guidelines are to be followed at all times by users of the ROBLOX Film Wikia. Administrators reserve the right to take action if users have breached them. The rules can be updated and modified at any time and users are expected to regularly read them to keep up-to-date.

Section 1: The ROBLOXiwood Pledge

We seek the accomplishment of bringing equality, stability, and civility to any and all people, ideas, productions, or beliefs. This pledge lays in stone that we as a community will always respect one another, and embrace the idea that we are filmmakers, and that we are all ROBLOXiwood.

Section 2: The General Rules

These rules cover all aspects of the wikia - including articles, comments, blog posts, chat, and message walls:

Profanity (Swearing)

Do not use profanity (aka swearing) on the wikia. This includes censoring out the word.

Vandalism and Spam

Do not vandalise or spam the wikia.

Conflicts Between Users

Abusive Comments

Do not say abusive insults or comments (whether it be towards anyone or a group) on the wikia.

'Flames Wars/Arguments'

Do not incite (start) or get involved in a flame war or argument on the wikia.

'Edit Wars'

Edit wars (where two or more users repeatedly counteract each others edits) are prohibited and can result in punishment.

'Stealing Content'

Stealing a person or company's movie name or rights and posting a page/advertising it on the wikia will result in a punishment unless it is in the consent of the original owner.

EDIT: Any remakes of a third-party property (Example: Superman, Batman, etc.) has an exception to this rule. If there is already a movie or character that is being remade in ROBLOX that has a page, then you must be sure that you're not stealing the rights from the movie company and making it a standalone film/series.

Advertising

Do not advertise on the wikia. However, there are exceptions: the homepage (when authorized by an admin - see [[::Category: Advertisements|here]] for information about homepage advertisements) and the forum (in the appropriate board). This is only for advertising anything ROBLOX film-related.

Article and Wikia Content

Irrelevant and Unnecessary Content

Do not post irrelevant or un-necessary content on the wiki. The only content allowed is regarding aspects of ROBLOX film. (this excludes any comments on the wiki).

Adult, Explicit and Illegal Material

Do not post any explicit, illegal, or adult (18+) content on the wiki.

Grammar and Spelling

We expect people to use correct grammar and spelling on your articles. Extreme grammar errors in articles are an offense which can result in punishment.

User Accounts and Rights

Ban bypassing

Do not bypass (get around) any bans through any means (including alternate accounts).

Sockpuppetry

Sockpuppetry is prohibited on the wiki.

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.

Lost Production Policy

In order for a lost production to qualify towards a Director and or a Company article, the production had to have been uploaded for a minimum of 3 weeks before deleted.The production must also follow the rest of the requirements of a 'Production'. Those requirements are listed above under "What Qualifies as a 'Production'"

Adding Reviews To Pages

In the reception section headings of pages, adding reviews that don't show any critique or have legitimacy in them will be deleted and result in a ban.

Historical Significance

Some articles may be excluded from the above requirements if they considered to be historically significant to ROBLOXiwood by the administrators.

Section 4: Article Content and Structure

The following contains basic guidelines on article content:

  • All content must be neutral, factual and objective.

  • All content must be within the scope of the ROBLOX film industry.
  • All content must be relevant to the article's topic.
  • All content must not offend, or attack someone (see: Section 1, Conflicts Between Users - 'Abusive Comments').

Structure and Organization of Content

The Creating Articles page contains all of the guidelines for correct structure of articles. Articles may be deleted if they fail to meet the standards set out in that page.

Section 5: The Forums and Blog Posts

Blog posts are intended to be used for information that the wider community of the wikia needs to be informed about. Such examples include events (like award ceremonies, conventions), company changes, and so-forth.

The forums should generally be used for film related information. This may include film releases, updates, actor recruitment, film or company advertisement etc. Forums may additionally be used for wiki updates and news (by staff/admins), help requests (regarding the wikia), and general discussion topics, in the relevant subforums.
