{{Policy|Rule 1: Don't fight on the Wiki|Some debate about how to edit the Wiki is fine, but don't let things get heated or personal. There should be no name-calling here. If you find yourself unable to keep things civil, please take your argument to another website than the Wiki (such as the Jenny Everywhere Discord server) or else request the moderation of an Administrator.}} | {{Policy|Rule 1: Don't fight on the Wiki|Some debate about how to edit the Wiki is fine, but don't let things get heated or personal.

{{Policy|Rule 2: Be tolerant|Do not insult or disparage the beliefs of real people on the site or insult them based on origins or romantic orientation. Racist, homophobic or transphobic discourse will not be tolerated on the Wiki, albeit held civilly; [[Jenny Everywhere]] herself is queer and a person of colour; if you hold such beliefs, you are, to put it bluntly, in the wrong fandom.<br>Aside from out-and-out bigotry, though, please don't engage in discourse about other people's political opinions. The Jenny Everywhere Wiki is not the place to bicker about capitalism, abortion, or the latest elections in your home country.}} | {{Policy|Rule 2: Be tolerant|Do not insult or disparage the beliefs of real people on the site or insult them based on origins or romantic orientation.

{{Policy|Rule 5: We're not a fiction hosting site|Some of our story pages include a copy of the story that can be read on-line, either with the author's permission or because the original source has vanished. However, you should not use a page in the main namespace as the ''first publication'' of a new Jenny work. If you ''really'' want to, you can post a new Jenny story on a sandbox of your own, but really, there are better places on the Internet to release new Jenny stories.}} | {{Policy|Rule 5: We're not a fiction hosting site|Some of our story pages include a copy of the story that can be read on-line, either with the author's permission or because the original source has vanished.

{{Policy|Rule 6: Stay on-topic for the Wiki|We are not the Web Fiction Wiki or the Public-Domain Characters Wiki. We only cover stories with a material relation to [[Jenny Everywhere]] or another member of her recurring cast (like [[Jenny Nowhere]] or [[Laura Drake]]). And no, it doesn't matter if a webcomic crossed over with Jenny ''once''; we won't cover the whole thing unless Jenny is actually a member of the recurring cast. There are occasional exceptions but if you're in any doubt as to whether a story belongs on this Wiki, ask first.}} | {{Policy|Rule 6: Stay on-topic for the Wiki|We are not the Web Fiction Wiki or the Public-Domain Characters Wiki.

{{Policy|Rule 7: Only actual fiction gets pages|A lot of great artists have created non-narrative artpieces depicting Jenny. It would be unwieldy, to the point of impossibility, to create pages for every one of these and treat them as valid sources for in-universe pages. These images can be uploaded to the Wiki, but can only be used in behind-the-scenes sections, or as illustrations for characters from a narrative work (for example, if an artist's standalone illustration of Jenny is supposed to depict the same incarnation of Jenny who appears in a prose story of theirs, and the prose story has no illustration). Non-narrative prose is fine so long as it's in-universe, though.}} | {{Policy|Rule 7: Only actual fiction gets pages|A lot of great artists have created non-narrative artpieces depicting Jenny.

Non-narrative prose is fine so long as it's in-universe, though, and many one-panel, wordless cartoons can be considered short "comics" in their own right for our purposes; we just don't want to be flooded with a bunch of contextless pictures of Jenny against a blank background!}} | ||
{{Policy|Rule 8: Content must be appropriately tagged|Any page discussing or describing mature topics at significant lengths — to the extent that such topics are present in works covered by the Wiki — must be appropriately tagged using the {{tlx|CW}} template. These topics may include, but are not limited to, gore, nudity, and sexual themes; use your best judgement as to what is usually considered ‘Not Safe For Work’ or might otherwise be disturbing to a young reader who stumbled upon the Wiki. Similarly images depicting nudity, gore, or significant blood must be tagged using the {{tlx|Blur image}} template, which allows it to be "censored" by default with an appropriate content warning; readers can then click to see it at their discretion. Other forms of potentially offensive or triggering content may be tagged or blurred on a case-by-case basis; if in doubt, ask an administrator.}} | |||
