The Harry Potter Wiki's chat policy governs the use of the Chat feature, Special:Chat, found on the right side, or rail, of most pages. The chat allows for users to converse in a real-time, text-based discussions and is intended for more social or casual conversations. It is not intended as a replacement for the Forum or Talk Pages to discuss edits to articles or changes to site policies.
Rules for chat
- No Personal Attacks: The primary rule for chat, and enforced site-wide, is that personal attacks are never allowed for any reason.
- No swearing or explicit language: Language used and topics discussed should be suitable for users or all ages.
Failing to follow these rules will result first in a warning. Further rule-breaking can result in being kicked from the chat for a limited time, or blocked or banned from the site as needed. The lengths of such measures will depend on the nature of the offense and the user's history of behavior.
