Hello new editors! Welcome to the Rooster Teeth Wiki!

Need an admin?
Bobbycat1 · Dǐll Kevlar · Igordebraga

Before you begin, there are some editing rules that you need to follow:

Use proper grammar and spelling, it will make it easier for others to understand what you're trying to say.
This is wiki is supposed to be informative. Every little bit of information helps!
Make all articles objective and accurate. Use factual information, opinions belong in the comments, not in the articles.
If your edit was undone for some reason and you believe it to be accurate, leave a comment on the article. The entire community here will discuss it with you.
As far as user pages, only edit your own user page. You can leave messages on another user's talk page, but you can't do anything else to it.
We recommend creating a Fandom account (if you haven't done so already).
In certain situations, brand new pages may be protected against new and unregistered users. In very special cases a page may be completely locked down.

If you want to edit articles, good places to gather information are either on Rooster Teeth's YouTube channel, any of the staff's Tweets and Facebook posts, or the staff and cast pages on the Rooster Teeth Website.

If you want to voice your opinion, please take it to the wiki's forum. There, you can also ask an admin for assistance on any matter.

Undoing Edits

Users have the right to undo the most recent edit on most articles. This feature exists so anyone can quickly undo spam. If you see spam with 2+ consecutive edits, feel free to contact an admin or user with rollback rights.

Requests

See the Rooster Teeth Wiki: Administrative Requests page if you are requesting a user to be banned, or a page to be renamed, deleted, or protected.

Abuse

The following table outlines activity that can be punished by any of the admins on this wiki. Some activity will give you a couple warnings, but, depending on how major of an issue the problem is, the punishment may come without any warnings. Also, the admins are a small group of people, we greatly appreciate other users helping us find any users doing punishable activity.

-. This is wiki is supposed to be informative. Every little bit of information helps!
-. Make all articles objective and accurate. Do not put knowingly put in false information, and do not put in any opinions into articles.
-. If your edit was undone for some reason and you believe it to be accurate, click the talk button at the top of the page and voice your concern there. The entire community here will discuss it with you. Also be sure to sign your posts on the talk page so we know who's making the edit (You can sign by typing four ~ in a row).
-. This should go without saying, but do not edit another user's profile. You can leave messages on their talk page, but you can't do anything else to it.
-. This is not required, but strongly recommended: Create a Wikia account. All it requires is your email, and you can turn email notifications off in your account settings. This also helps identify who's who in this wiki, I'm tired of seeing Wikia Contributor on the Recent Wiki Activity page, which you can access by clicking Wiki Activity on the top bar.
-. In certain situations, such as the release of a new show, where there will be lots of speculation or false/biased/inappropriate information being inserted into an article, an admin will lock the page so that only admins and beaureaucrats may edit. It will remain locked til the admin that locked the page determines that it is safe to unlock.
