Board Thread:Admin Noticeboard/@comment-8-20160909161643

Now that we are past the difficult first day of the split, I'd like to set some ground rules for the days ahead.

We expect that those who fork do so respectfully, which means leaving the wikia alone in the future, not making any changes that damage the wikia, and not using Wikia to advertise their alternative.

To lay that out in more detail:


 * Please do not link to your new wiki on the main page of the Wikia version. It's OK to link to a blog post or other discussion, but that can only be a short-term notice
 * Please make sure that any messaging in blogs or other discussions clearly says that people have a choice to move with you or to stay
 * Please do not post to users' talk pages with messages about the fork. We look on this just as you would have if someone came here in the past, and started leaving mass messages about their site.
 * Please do not try to delete pages (again), change fundamental elements of the site, or otherwise damage the content. The wikia should be left intact and available for any future editors to use.
 * Please do not use the wikia to promote your new fork. This includes templates, notices or URLs on pages other than the announcement.

Thank you.
