General

 * Assume good faith and respect other users and admins around the wiki.
 * If any user reverts your edit, secure the reason for it first. If you believe that your edit was needed and was reverted unnecessarily, approach an admin for help.
 * If another user has frequently vandalized the wiki, report it to an admin.

Editing
The primary language for this wiki is English, and all edits must be made using English. Users who speak English as a secondary language and/or those who need help in editing in English can contact the admins or fellow users to notify them of incoming edits so that any spelling or grammatical mistakes can be remedied.
 * All edits should be made in good faith.
 * As a Wiki contributor (anonymous), do not abuse the privilege of anonymous editing by vandalizing the wiki or you will be blocked from editing in the future.
 * Add confirmed official information from sources such as news websites & official merchandise.
 * Rumors and theories should not be added. Confirmed information should be referenced to an official source.
 * Spoilers from the web novel, light novel, manga and anime are allowed on this wiki. Proceed with caution.
 * Even though the pages within the Template namespace are not prevented from editing, it is requested that if you possess minimal knowledge about wiki-markup, then refrain from editing those mentioned.

Images and Video
Pictures are integral parts of this wiki, especially light novels' illustrations, which gives the mostly textual aspect of the light novels color and form. Other important images are profile images, which gives us an idea of how a certain character looks like, and event pictures, which are mostly screen caps from the anime series. Videos are of a lower priority because of copyright issues, but can be a nice addition to articles.


 * Only official art such as anime screenshots, promotional art, pictures of official merchandise, manga scans etc. are allowed.
 * Fan art is not permitted only if necessary by the admin permission. Do not upload any sort of fan art, made either by you or anyone else. If done, it will be deleted immediately by an admin.
 * Images that are not related to Overlord will be deleted.
 * Files should be named properly, so that they are easily searchable.

Page Revision
Removing large sections of an article, especially in high-traffic articles, is to be considered as vandalism and may be undone unless the contributor has submitted a proper explanation that would justify the deletion.

Vandalism

 * Vandalism is not tolerated under any circumstances.
 * Other users have put their effort in building up pages, so try to not mess things up.
 * If you are found to be vandalizing pages, you will be blocked from editing for a certain amount of time which starts from a period of one week.
 * If you are a frequent offender, the time you are blocked can be increased.
