DC Multiverse Wiki:Policies

Wiki Policies

Introduction
The following article is a collection of wiki policies which must be followed whilst editing pages and interacting with other users on the site. Failure to follow these rules may result in disciplinary action, such as your account being permanently banned.

In-Universe Pages
Articles relating to things that exist in-universe should be named in accordance with the full canonical name of what they are covering as provided by the medium they have appeared in or by official sources. This means that common names and acronyms are not to be used in page titles. For character pages, the full forename and surname given at birth must be used unless it has been legally changed. In the event that a name has not been provided, an article may use the name of their comic book or multiversal counterpart, provided a conjectural template is added to the top of the page. The only exception to this rule are pages for versions of Barry Allen, as his full name is sufficiently different from his common name for this to be appropriate.

Following the article name, the home universe and multiverse of the subject must be appended to the end of the title in the applicable format: “NAME (Earth-Prime)”, “NAME (Earth-?: Pre-Crisis)”, “NAME (Earth-?: Post-Crisis)”, “NAME (UE-?)”, or “NAME (INSERT EXTRADIMENSIONAL REALM HERE)”. In the event that it is not clear what universe the subject of the article originates from, a (Pre-Crisis) or (Post-Crisis) indicator must be added to the end of the article title. In the case of pages for universes, the correct format is “EARTH-? (Pre-Crisis)”, “(EARTH-? (Post-Crisis)”, or “(UE-?)”. The only in-universe pages which do not require universe or multiverse designators are those for extradimensional realms and for beings that exist outside the multiverse or extradimensional realms, such as God and Goddess.

In the event that two characters share the same name and home universe, a relevant distinction may be added after their name (e.g. Gina (Freeland) (Earth-Prime) and Gina (Gotham City) (Earth-Prime)), and, in the event that two locations share the same name and home universe, the relevant locale may be added after their name (e.g. Main Street, Blue Valley (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)).

Cast and Crew
Articles for cast and crew members should be named in accordance with the preferred name of the person. If this conflicts with the name they were originally credited with, the former name should only be mentioned once at the beginning of the article.

Comics, Episodes, and Films
Articles for comics, episodes, and films should be named in accordance with their official title. In the event that two episodes, films, or comic issues share the same name, the show name, “(Film)”, or “(Comic)” should be appended to the end of the article title.

Television Shows
Articles for television shows should be named in accordance with their official name and should have “(TV Series)”, or “(YEAR TV Series)” in the event that two shows share the same name, appended to the end of the article title.

Discussions
Any user may leave a comment on a talk page as long as it is relevant to the wiki. These conversations must remain respectful and must not include personal attacks, death threats, or harassment against other people or groups of people. If you want, you may also join our Discord Server to discuss both the wiki and its content in greater detail.

Article Files
File names must state what universe and multiverse their subject originates from, and must have a number starting at 001 at the end. Files must either be PNGs or JPGs that are of or above 720P resolution and do not include a watermark, unless it is impossible to find one. All images must be uploaded with a licensing template which best fits the image and with the default upload summary filled out.

User Page Images
Users are permitted to upload an unlimited amount of images for use on their own user pages, as long as it is not deemed excessive by an administrator. The title of these images must include your username and a relevant description of the image.

Notability
All books, cast and crew members, comics, comic issues and comic volumes, episodes, films, soundtracks, seasons, television shows, and video games should be given their own article. Characters, events, locations, objects, organizations, and teams should be given their own article as long as they are named or are otherwise relevant to the plot of a given piece of media.

Undesignated Universes
If an undesignated universe or something from an undesignated universe appears in a piece of media, the wiki will create a temporary designation for it until it is named. Once the universe is officially named, it will be moved to that designation and all other UE numbers will be moved up by one.

Upcoming Content
Upcoming comics, comic issues and comic volumes, films, seasons, soundtracks, television shows, and video games, as well as the cast and crew involved with them, should be given their own page. Pages for upcoming characters, events, locations, objects, organizations, and teams should not be created.
