'''NOTE: Feel free to edit this sandbox, but please don't vandalize it. Also, do NOT import it unless an admin approves the idea.'''

By using Terrible TV Shows Wiki, you agree to follow all the rules. If you have any questions, please ask our staff. They're listed on the home page. Please note that our community complies with Miraheze's ToU.

If you have any suggestions for rules, please don't hesitate to put them in the discussion.

General Guidelines

 * 1) When editing this wiki stick to actually bad shows, regardless if they have a positive or negative reception from critics and audiences.
 * 2) The main heading to use for each wiki page is "Why It/He/She Sucks" (no custom headings are allowed). However, you could use the "Bad Qualities" section for any shows that are in the "Average Shows" category. The latter must contain valid and detailed reasons; do your best to avoid generic stuff like "bad acting/animation/soundtrack/etc.".
 * 3) If a show isn't that bad, it can't be on here. It should go on our sister wiki instead.
 * 4) Don't remove any information from articles unless you have a good reason to do so.
 * 5) Any forms of drama, flame, cyberbullying, threats, or harassment of any kind to users will not be tolerated and will most likely get an IP block. You may use your talk page to appeal to your ban.
 * 6) Profanity is legal as long as you don't abuse it so please don't censor anything except for slurs.
 * 7) * Refrain from language and actions that put others down based on sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, culture, or any other reason.
 * 8) Please use proper grammar and good English so that it is understandable.
 * 9) Do not create any blank, TBA, incomplete, or coming soon pages. You may use your sandbox to create drafts for pages. Remember that if you make an official page, be sure to have at least five specific bullet points. Failure to meet the requirements will likely have those pages deleted or moved to the page creators' sandbox since it is considered "incomplete".
 * 10) * Speaking of which, please do not add TBA or coming soon under the Why It Sucks section.
 * 11) Do not re-upload deleted pages without permission.
 * 12) You will always be able to argue about your block on your own message wall unless what you did was unforgivable.
 * 13) NSFW content is forbidden on this wiki.
 * 14) If you like any of the shows on this wiki, then please try to understand why we're criticizing them for all the good reasons.
 * 15) No necroposting. This means that if there is a discussion that has been inactive for more than a month or is resolved, please don't revive or reopen said topic as that's an act of gravedigging.
 * 16) If possible, be sure to add the comments section when creating an article.
 * 17) Do not undo an admin's edit (this will result in a 2-hour timeout without warning). If you must undo an edit by an admin, please ask their permission first before you undo the edit.
 * 18) Do not create new categories. If you think a new category is needed, ask the admins for their consent first. If your suggestion proves to be useful, they'll create it for you.
 * 19) Parents, if you have any questions, please contact a staff member on their message wall.
 * 20) Do not create sockpuppets. This means creating multiple accounts to avoid a ban or cause problems on the wiki. Sockpuppets may be blocked permanently. Having multiple accounts is allowed as long as you are abiding by the rules and admins are notified of who owns the account.'
 * 21) * However, if more than one person has the same IP address, this does not instantly mean they are sockpuppets.
 * 22) Do not attempt to dox anyone. Doxxing is when you search for someone's personal information without their consent. This will result in an infinite block.
 * 23) Gaslighting is not allowed at all. Gaslighting is where someone attempts to put doubt in a targeted individual, making them question their own memory, perception, and/or judgment. This is manipulation.
 * 24) You are not allowed to do flaming here. Flaming is the online act of posting insults, often laced with profanity or other offensive languages on social networking sites.
 * 25) Photos containing blood/gore, suggestive content, or offensive content are prohibited and will result in a block.
 * 26) Do not attempt to sell anything to anyone on this wiki. Failure to comply with this rule will be considered scamming and will result in a permanent block. We understand you may have a job online where you sell things, but take that somewhere else. We apologize.
 * 27) Please do not ask others for personal information. This includes asking for ages, passwords, addresses, phone numbers, zip codes, birth certificates, locations, name(s), etc. Sharing personal information is prohibited and will result in a block. Sharing certain information, such as your age, and name(s) is allowed and is an optional choice.
 * 28) Please refrain from engaging in cross-wiki drama. This is when a user brings drama-related issues from other wikis onto this wiki. Issues pertaining to other communities, including bans, wiki changes, or arguments must be handled on the appropriate wiki. Failure to comply with this rule will result in a block.
 * 29) Discriminating someone because of their different sexual views is never tolerated.
 * 30) We are not your personal soapbox. Trying to force your views, opinions, or any form of propaganda down other users will result in a block.
 * 31) If your user profile picture is inappropriate, it will be removed and you'll receive a warning. Continuing to have an inappropriate profile picture will result in a block.
 * 32) If you upload a link to a shock site with the intent to scare on chat, you will be blocked for life.
 * 33) If you persist with an act that goes against Wiki rules, even after several warnings, you get a first ban based on the severity of the offenses. If you fail to change after the ban has expired, you will get an infinite ban.

 * 2) Try to make pages from a factual stance.
 * 3) Reviews are optional. Though, if you plan to put in the reviews made by critics, it is also OK to take reviews from other sources. However, plagiarism is not acceptable for anything else. If your article is suspected of being plagiarized, it will get deleted.

 * 7) * See Ya Later Gladiator
 * 8) * The redrawn colorized cartoons
 * 9) Television channels, unless they deal with news or sports - Self-explanatory.
 * 10) Any YouTuber that’s already on Crappy Games Wiki - We don’t need second pages on the YouTubers that are already on those wikis.
 * 11) Anything that hasn't aired yet (ex. Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years) - We don't need a long reason for this, so it's best to wait until the actual show comes out.
 * 12) FuturisticHub - Miraheze staff requests

Why It Sucks/Bad Qualities

 * 1) "Wastes the talents of (insert actors here)." - Overused reason.
 * 2) "Let that sink in..." - Sounds extremely childish.
 * 3) "Enough said/Nuff said!" - Same reason as "Let that sink in..."
 * 4) Any mentions of the words "torture porn" or "Megward the Wizard" - Just say "torture", "torture episodes" or "torture scenario" and "Butt-Monkey" instead since we are not toxic enterbots.
 * 5) Reasons that mention any toxic fanbases/hatebases - Not an actual quality of the media itself.
 * 6) Reasons that mention any tv shows that spawned some bad media adaptations such as video game adaptations - This has nothing to do with the show itself but rather the adaptation's own problem, and should go in its respective wikis.
 * 7) "No redeeming qualities whatsoever." - It just sounds biased.
 * 8) Fetish-related pointers (ex. inflation) - Kink shaming. Only the following types of fetishes are allowed to be on pages: feces (coprophilia), people under the age of 16-18 (pedophilia), and animals (zoophilia), as these are especially serious problems in real life.
 * 9) "" is worse than Hitler/Other evil person - Sounds very inmature since how can a bad celebrity be worse than a genocidial dictator?. It also makes us look like we were defending a evil person over their deeds.

Redeeming Qualities/Good Qualities

 * 1) "It spawned memes" or anything related to it. - Not an actual redeeming quality, as memes aren't part of the show itself. Just because we can handle jokes doesn't mean we allow this pointer. Put it in the "Reception" section if needed.
 * 2) "At least it's better than (insert show here)." - Overused and not an actual reason.
 * 3) "Thankfully, this show got canceled." - Not an actual reason and it sounds more like a hate reason.
