Harry Potter Wiki:User Policy

Wookieepedia's User page policy is meant to encourage users to work more on articles, and not spend all of their time on customizing their userpages. The Harry Potter Wiki is not:
 * Wookieepedia is not a free host or webpage provider.
 * Wookieepedia is not the place for fanfiction or roleplaying.
 * Your user page is not your primary contribution to this wiki.

However, user pages do serve a useful purpose, and regular users are encouraged to create a userpage which gives some information about themselves, and helps organize their contributions to the Harry Potter Wiki. For example, they may wish list their collection of Harry Potter references, advertise contributions they are proud of, or list articles they intend to work on. They may also include their user name on other wikis or Harry Potter fan sites, link to a personal page on another site, list the languages they speak, or talk about their favorite Harry Potter characters. For more information on what userpages can be used for, see Wikipedia:User page.

Many users also enjoy writing about their imaginary persona in the Harry Potter universe. This is neither encouraged nor discouraged. However, Harry Potter Wiki users who work exclusively on their fan fiction, and do not wish to contribute significantly to any articles, are strongly encouraged to use the Star Wars Fanon Wiki instead. Users who work exclusively on user page content unrelated to Harry Potter or the Harry Potter Wiki should, likewise, find somewhere else to host their webpages.

Thus, we discourage users from working primarily on user pages. All users and their user pages must comply with the following rules:

Excessive user page edits
Remember, Your user page is not your primary contribution to this wiki. Users who edit their user pages excessively will be subject to sanction.


 * Excessive user page editing, in this case, is defined as over 500 user page edits to less than 100 useful main space/template/category edits. (To check your edit count, enter your user name at Special:Editcount.)

In cases of excessive user page edits, admins will protect offending pages after a warning. These pages may be unprotected after the user has begun making useful edits to articles.
