Hello! This announcement is definitely belated, but we have recently introduced stricter rules concerning the images and, specifically, the art that is uploaded onto this wiki.
Please ensure that you read through this announcement to ensure that you are up-to-date and don't mistakenly break any rules when editing!
- From now on, uploading and using an artist's work (this includes art, animation, designs, etc.) without their prior permission or knowledge is strictly forbidden; simply crediting the artist for their work is no longer a viable shortcut. Should an admin ask you for proof of receiving permission to use a specific piece of artwork, screenshots or recordings of conversations (including evidence that the one you're talking to in the screenshot/recording is in fact the artist) will be expected to be provided.
- As usual, taking credit for or claiming (as your own) an artist's work is prohibited and you will be warned or blocked from this wiki. This includes, but is of course not limited to, tracing or heavily referencing an artist's work and giving no credit; and claiming that you are the original artist of a piece if questioned (impersonation).
- Any users or uploads seen breaking these regulations should be reported to an admin, and always remember that in no case should a non-poweruser attempt to mini-mod by dealing with the situation themself!

Hello!
In the past couple of years, this wiki has had a lot of users (primarily newcomers) create articles to write their fanfictions on, despite the sole purpose of this wiki being to store information about your characters.
To clarify, here is a list of most (if not all) articles that are and aren't allowed on this wiki. Anything not listed in either list is most likely not permitted.
What is allowed?
- Character pages, for storing information about your character and summaries of their life
- Clan pages, for storing information about your custom Clan
- Book pages, for storing information about your fanfiction and summaries of the plot
- Romance pages, for elaborating on relationships in your fanfictions
- Joke character articles, to an extent
- Chapter summaries, similar to the cliffnotes on the official Warriors Wiki
- Canon characters from an Alternate Universe (AU), with major adjustments
What isn't allowed?
- Fanfiction pages, for copy/pasting or writing fanfiction on
- Advertisements (these are allowed on blog posts)
- Character generators or reviewers
- Roleplays
- Quizzes or questionnaires (these are allowed, to an extent, on blog posts)
- Canon characters, with no AU adjustments
- Anything not Warriors related
If you're ever unsure whether or not a page you have in mind would be allowed on this wiki, please get in contact with an admin.
To combat the issue of fanfiction on this wiki, we have decided that we will be partnering with the Warriors Fanfiction Wiki.
The WFW was created for sharing and writing Warriors fanfiction, and despite this, they have been having similar problems to us concerning character pages.
After having a discussion with the staff from there, we have collectively decided to partner with them and encourage users to post their fanfictions on that wiki as opposed to ours.
As this is still a fairly new decision, we will be continuing our discussions with the WFW staff on how to further improve our partnership.
On our Discord server, we have a representative, Storkbork, who will be speaking on behalf of the WFW and any questions concerning their wiki or similar should be directed to her.
Similarly, Marsh and myself are acting as representatives for the WO Wiki on their Discord server, and will be answering any questions or inquiries about this wiki over on there.
As a final reminder, please ensure that you read our rules! They have been put into place to keep this wiki safe, organised and user-friendly, and it is important to keep them in mind when editing or interacting with other users to avoid warnings or blocks.
If you have any questions, please comment on the blog post linked at the top of this announcement or message me on my talk page and I will get back to you as soon as possible!
