	; Only articles, images, lists (etc.) from and about canon sources may be added to ShadowrunWiki, right?: Kinda sorta. ShadowrunWiki has a [[Policy:Fanon\|policy]] regarding [[Canon#Non-Canon\|fan fiction]] (or 'fanon') that excludes alternate materials written by fans from the official and canon subjects on which SRW is focused. However, if an item of fanon has influenced the canon material (in some form or function and outside the scope of SRW), articles regarding that fanon product may be included here. Likewise, sometimes graphics that do not exist (in any form) in the canonicity but are described in it may be generated and included here, specifically as a means to assist in the understanding of the subject material. Modifications of official products, such as images cropped to focus on the subject matter, are also allowed, when properly sourced. Art for art's sake, however, is not allowed.		; Only articles, images, lists (etc.) from and about canon sources may be added to ShadowrunWiki, right?: Kinda sorta.

Art for art's sake, however, is not allowed.: There are two exceptions to this rule, the first is Holostreets. Holostreets must be in the [[:Category:Holostreets\|Holostreets]] category and have [[Template:Holostreets]] at the top of pages with only holostreets information. If the page is a mix of Holostreets and and Canon, the Holostreets information should be sectioned off with the template used before hand. The second is Foreign, these [[books]] are ones published under [[Pegasus Press]] or [[BlackBook Edition]]. There may be others in the future, but these are the two known publishers. The information from these books is considered canon until there is a contradiction formed from them and the Official books. When this happens follow the guide on the [[ShadowrunWiki:Sample Articles\|sample article]] for noting the contradictions on the page.

Click on the time/date link before the good editor's name, which will open up the last clean version of the article. Click on the '''edit''' tab, write "revert:" (or just rv:) and a reason why into the summary field. Save the page and you've now corrected the vandalism.

== Categories ==
; Can I add new categories? : Yes, you can. Categories can be created just like any other article, no matter that the red lettering says there is an error. That just means the category has not yet been created. Creating a new category is an important decision, however, and probably one you would want to discuss with the community before undertaking.

==Canon==
; Only articles, images, lists (etc.) from and about canon sources may be added to BattleTechWiki, right? : Kinda sorta. BattleTechWiki has a [[Policy:Fanon|policy]] regarding [[Canon#Non-Canon|fan fiction]] (or 'fanon') that excludes alternate materials written by fans from the official and canon subjects on which BTW is focused. However, if an item of fanon has influenced the canon material (in some form or function and outside the scope of BTW), articles regarding that fanon product may be included here. Likewise, sometimes graphics that do not exist (in any form) in the canonicity but are described in it may be generated and included here, specifically as a means to assist in the understanding of the subject material. Modifications of official products, such as images cropped to focus on the subject matter, are also allowed, when properly sourced. Art for art's sake, however, is not allowed.
