 * Can I ask what Pikmin Fanon's rules that are meant to apply to the chat are? 'Cause I'm getting information that the privacy policy doesn't/at some point didn't apply, or something.  Never mind, Sir Pikmin answered me (the stuff at PikminFanon:Code of Conduct, only).  G  P  14:58, 19 August 2011 (EDT)

There seems to no consensus, so the best option is probably to vote on each rule individually (certainly enough people want there to be a page of written rules). I just discovered Pikipedia:Help:Chat, so I've summarised the rules in that list/the list here; feel free to add more. The corresponding page at Pikipedia is here.

Note that you're voting for whether you think the rule should be written down, and if you vote against a rule, you're not necessarily saying you think it should be broken. Or something. Comments help...

Just add a bullet point under each one starting with FOR, AGAINST or MEH (oh yes), then your signature, then a comment if you want. Reply to comments and put all other further discussion at the bottom. You might also want to read comments made by people at Pikipedia.  G P  14:37, 5 November 2011 (EDT)

Be respectful (no discrimination/hate). Keep confidential stuff you learn to yourself.
 * FOR - What's the golden rule, everyone?
 * MEH - If it's really important, then why hide it? People should know about it, but...

Look after the wikis (don't incite vandalism, don't spread lies harmful to their reputation).

No flaming (insults). No swearing. No spam.
 * FOR - Empathy. Put yourself in their shoes.
 * FOR - Some people are very sensitive to swear words and the like, and perhaps can't handle it. If you want to cuss, either use asterisks (*) to block out most of the word, or use an alternative word.
 * MEH - If it's a bad word, so what? All I wouldn't do, is aim it at someone else. Also, you should probably sensor it.
 * FOR - Really, who wants someone flooding the page with anything?

Decision
Based on the general consensus here and at Pikipedia, I've put together this. Is that agreeable to everyone?  G P  08:47, 27 November 2011 (EST)
