Vandalism
Vandalism of any kind will never be tolerated on our Wiki. Honkai Impact 3rd Archives Wiki's vandalism policy will clearly state what is considered vandalism, and how we act upon it. All users shall be familiar with this page to identify vandalism correctly, and how to properly report it.
What is Vandalism?
On Honkai Impact 3rd Archives Wiki, we consider vandalism as the following:
- Completely wiping a page of all of its content and leaving the page blank or replacing the content with anything at all that does not correlate with the page
- Posting any links/advertisements on a page
- Creating improper pages that do not relate to the topic of the Wiki
- Messing with pages by putting fake information, or putting in "jokes", Such as:
- "The story of Honkai Impact 3rd" is changed to: "The story of JOE MAMA"
- Category names are changed to something inappropriate
- Sections are renamed to something inappropriate
- Etc. administrators will know what is vandalism when seen.
- Adding unnecessary photos that do not pertain to the page
- Miscellaneous. The Wiki Staff Team can and will determine if it is vandalism.
Reporting Vandalism
When reporting vandalism, you should mention it to an administrator on their message wall. Please, label the post on the message wall as "Vandalism Report: (Username of Vandalizer)". In the content of the post, indicate what page it was, and give a brief description of what the vandalism was. If possible, please check the "History" of the page and revert it to a functioning version. We will investigate ASAP.
Warnings and Blocks
Issued Moderations
No blocks or moderation may be applied to a user for not following a guideline, as guidelines are only present to resolve disagreements between users. Sanctions may be applied to users who do not follow a policy. If they are contributing in good faith, this should only be done after they have been warned and notified of the policies, such as by a message placed on their talk page or message wall.
Statute of Limitations
Some minor violations and infractions will not be acted on when not caught in a reasonable time frame. This will be up to discretion of the staff. Not all violations may be ignored by a statute of limitations. Generally, users cannot be punished for actions they did a long time ago.
Do not remove staff warnings from your message wall
Editors should not remove any issued warnings from their message wall, as this serves as documentation regarding what actions have previously been taken for policy violations and ensures consistent application of wiki policies to all editors. Removing message wall warnings may result in a block or an extended block if the editor is currently blocked.
Levels of Warnings
- Reminders or minor warnings are given to first-time violations and serve to help an editor or user get back on track with the Honkai Impact 3rd Archives's policies.
- Warnings will be given to repeat violations of minor policies or given to first-time violations that are more offensive in nature.
- Final warnings are given after repeat violations after having been previously warned, or for offenses deemed worthy of a one-and-only warning. These may be the form of a small block or a standalone message.

Appeal
Editors who are blocked, with exception to severe violators (see "levels of blocks" above), are free to contest or otherwise challenge their block. Blocked editors may tactfully respond to their block message to provide explanation or evidence to potentially shorten or dismiss their block. Blocked editors who abuse this courtesy and instead choose to produce offensive responses will be ignored, their message wall privileges revoked, and their block lengthened by at least 1 week.
Blocked editors who are initially unable to respond to their block message (but did not have their message wall privileges revoked after the initial block) are able to contact their blocking administrator on FANDOM Community Central. Note that you are responsible for all content you post on Community Central, offensive content posted there can result in the editor blocked across all wikis with no further input from this wiki's administrators necessary.
