By being a part of the Five Nights at Freddy's community, you must agree and accept the rules and guidelines below.
Note
- If you want to see what warnings you have, copy and paste the following URL into your url bar: https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/User:/Warnings
- Note that a {{USERNAME}} template is used here to show your username.
- You are responsible for all actions your account takes. If your account activity results in a ban, excuses such as "My little sibling got on my computer and did stuff," or "My friend was dared to use my account for shenanigans," are not going to overturn your ban.
- This also applies to instances of the same IP address being used on multiple accounts.
- There is, of course, an exception if you are hacked. If you believe you were hacked, contact Fandom support via Special:Contact and have them report the results to us.
- This also applies to instances of the same IP address being used on multiple accounts.
General Rules
- Do not vandalize anything on the wiki.
- Do not spam anywhere on the wiki.
- This includes the following: posting gibberish, random letters, comments that have nothing to do with the topic that is being commented on, chain messages, "copypastas," and huge blocks of text.
- Do not edit other users' profiles without their permission.
- Do not harass or bully other users.
- Do not flamebait either.
- Responding to flamebait with harassment will result in a warning to both parties.

- Use of hate/terrorist group language and imagery will not be tolerated.
- Do not use negative rhetoric against the LGBTQ+ community while on this wiki, as it is tolerant and supportive.
- Statements such as "I do not support the LGBTQ+ community but I respect them" and "I do not like the LGBTQ+ community because of (personal belief)" should also not be made on this wiki and will be treated as hate speech due to the negative environment they create surrounding the LGBTQ+ community.
- No alt/sock puppet accounts are allowed and should be reported immediately.
- Users should not give warnings to other users. Friendly advice and tips are one thing, but only admins and content moderators will give out warnings.
- Do not remove admin warnings and block messages from your message wall; such actions will extend your ban.
- Do not create a Message Wall Greeting for yourself, this is only for admins.
- Sending serious threats to other users or encouraging any user to commit self-harm will result in an immediate permanent ban regardless of intent.
- Do not have gender debates in blogs or forum posts. Any gender debates will result in an automatic warning or a ban.
- This includes posts created with humorous intent, such as "Is mangle a boy or girl or yes?"
- Roleplaying is no longer accepted on this wiki. RPs will be issued an initial warning and directed to other options to turn to for your roleplaying needs. Further attempts will result in a ban.
- Do not use Zalgo text or other "corrupted" texts.
- Users found to be "warring" with other wikis (such as trolling, spamming, or vandalizing them) in the name of this wiki will be given less leniency depending on the severity of their behavior. In such instances, the minimum punishment for this kind of behavior will be a one week ban.
- Do not add AI generated text on the wiki.
- This includes ChatGPT and other AI websites.
Uploading Files
- Do not upload anything that is not going to be used in a mainspace article.
- This includes fan art and other similar works.
- Of special note, LadyFiszi, Claudia Schröder, Turntail, and silverxcristal are fan artists who work in official capacity on FNaF properties. The only artwork of theirs that should be uploaded is those from official sources.
- If you want to post such things, please use the discussions or the users' message walls to share your images without directly uploading them to the wiki's file list. Although, this is not the same case for your profile page.
- This includes fan art and other similar works.
- Make sure file names are relevant to the image.
- For example, do not upload with names such as "image.png" or "1sdfkbaaw345ne4r.jpg" as this can make editing difficult.
- Do not upload duplicate files.
- Do not upload low-quality files.
- This includes screencaps of gameplay videos as in-game screenshots are much cleaner.
- Do not upload files with Let's Player's faces on them.
- To prevent backlashes from other users, please upload your own character model renders (from Help Wanted, Security Breach, etc.) rather than taking someone else's from any other websites (e.g: DeviantArt and other FANDOM wikis) unless given permission.
- When uploading audio files, please always make sure to use the file type .OGG instead of .MP3, etc.
- Also make sure that your images use the file type .JPG, .PNG, or .GIF, instead of .WEBP, etc. If you want to upload images but were saved as .WEBP files, please use CloudConvert to convert the files before uploading them right away.
Editing Rules and Guidelines
- For more editing guidelines, see Manual of Style.
- Read each article in its entirety before editing.
- Do try to be as accurate as possible when editing articles.
- Do your best to use proper grammar.
- Remain objective - use "the player," not "you."
- Do your best to keep any abbreviations that may be used consistent. Commonly used abbreviations are as follows:
- Five Nights at Freddy's would be FNaF.
- Five Nights at Freddy's 2 would be FNaF2.
- Five Nights at Freddy's 3 would be FNaF3.
- Five Nights at Freddy's 4 would be FNaF4.
- Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location would be FNaF:SL.
- Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator would be FFPS.
- Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted would be FNaF VR.
- Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery would be FNaF AR.
- FNaF World would be FW.
- Five Nights at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes would be TSE.
- Five Nights at Freddy's: The Twisted Ones would be TTO.
- Five Nights at Freddy's: The Fourth Closet would be TFC.
- Freddy in Space 2 would be FIS2.
- Fazbear Frights would be FF.
- Do not make the articles redundant.
- Do not add speculation and/or theories to articles.
- The exception is if it is added under the "Speculation" section of a page and is clearly labelled with the template "Spec".
- When making new articles, make sure the subject does not already have a page and is not already covered elsewhere.
- Sometimes it may seem like something needs a page when in reality, it doesn't contribute a lot a information. In these cases, these tend to be added to other related pages, such as Shamrock Freddy links to the Holiday Animatronics. In this case, it is because Shamrock Freddy is basically a reskinned Freddy Fazbear who doesn't contribute anything to game lore outside of a mere custom animatronic skin and fun appearance in Special Delivery.
- Do not rename or redirect pages. If one needs renaming, ask an admin.
- This also applies to pages that are marked for deletion.
- Do not create unnecessary/spam articles.
- If you want to theorize about the story, a character, or anything of the sort, create a blog or forum post instead.
- Do not create blank pages. If you don't plan on adding content to a page, don't bother creating the page.
- Do not add unnecessary categories to pages - including your profile, blog posts, etc.
- Do not plagiarize. This means to not copy information from other related Five Nights at Freddy's wikis, these include: Villains Wiki, Triple a Fazbear Wiki, the main Five Nights at Freddy's Wikipedia page, etc. and paste them onto this wiki. Also, please do not copy content from this wiki onto other wikis.
- Do not change the articles' formats without the admin's permission. For example, it's very needless to change the heading sections (e.g: changing from "Physical Appearance" to "Characteristic Description"), modifying the tables (including images, headings, etc), or needlessly replacing images with low-quality images as they look perfectly fine as they were unless there is indeed a worth of changing which should be discussed with the administrators first. Whoever gets caught constantly repeating this issue no matter how many times without the admin team's knowledge will receive a warning without hesitation. Consequences will be given if the warning was defied.
- Do not revert an admin’s edit without permission or a good reason.
Discussion Rules and Guidelines
The full discussion guidelines can be found in the sidebar on the discussions page.
- All general rules apply to the discussions.
- If there is an issue, please contact an admin as soon as possible.
- Avoid adding to a problematic situation by arguing, making a big deal out of it, calling names, and so forth. Doing so may land you in trouble as well.
General Ban Guidelines
Vandalism will land you an instant permanent ban.
- First Offense: Warning
- Second Offense: 3 day ban.
- Third Offense: 1 week ban.
- Fourth Offense: 2 week ban.
- Fifth Offense: 1 month.
- Sixth Offense: Infinite ban.
- In some cases, the offense may be so serious that warnings and lighter bans may be skipped and the offending user may be given a heavier ban. Admins give bans at their discretion but follow these ban guidelines.
- It should also be noted that, should the majority of an account's activity be nothing more than spam, advertising, or some other form of disruptive behavior, admins reserve the right to give an infinite ban without warning as the account is clearly only here to be disruptive.
- Inter-wiki warring carries a minimum punishment of a one week ban with the severity of the offense constituting more drastic bans. An infinite ban may be implemented in the case of multiple offenses or if a user's behavior on the targeted wiki is just that bad.
