Rules

Wiki Guidelines

Keep it civil: Do not make personal attacks on other people. If you need to criticize another user’s argument, do so without attacking them as a person. Do not use bigoted language, including slurs which degrade another person or group of people based on gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc.
Do not engage in excessive self-promotion: The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. It is NOT a free place to advertise your related website, Fandom wiki, Roblox profile/game, YouTube channel, blog, social media account, etc. Have a question about whether your link would be welcome? Ask an administrator!
Do not harass other users: If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes. It is their wall.
Do not add inappropriate and/or 18+ content to the wiki: This is largely due to the fact younger children may be browsing the wiki. This also includes swearing. If you want to swear on the discussion tab, or it is necessary for context, please only include the first letter of the word and replace the rest with *'s. Damn, Hell, and Crap are fine but words like "F**k" are prohibited.
Please do not spam or harass any of the developers: Due to the fact many developers have accounts on the wiki, we must ask that you do not spam in their message wall or in the discussions tab about upcoming information, as they may not be allowed to answer and/or don't want to reveal the information.
Please don't remove warnings/reminders from the staff: Please don't remove warnings from wiki staff as it will be restored and you will get a reminder.
Users must be 13+ years old to edit this wiki: According to Fandom's Terms of Use, you must be 13 years or older to join this wiki. Users who are below the age of 13 will be blocked.

Please create articles with plenty of information: Some pages that were created lately have been poorly done so please have lots of effort and info for our readers.
Blank pages: Do not create any pages that are blank unless if an administrator created one with "WIP" on it, meaning that they will soon work on it.
Gold Variants and Rainbow Variants: Gold Variants and Rainbow Variants of pets are upgrades , they don't need separate pages, and can just be put in the regular versions page.
Morph and Buddy images: Only in-game images should be used for Morph and Buddy pages. Renders should not be on the infobox. Putting them on the galleries are acceptable but not on the infobox.
Please use a descriptive name for files: Please only upload files if you have a descriptive file name. File names should be "Patrick Model.png" and not "Png (2).png" so users can understand what the files are.
Do follow community guidelines for formatting: When a community has established formatting, it’s important to adhere to that, especially when spoiler content is involved.
