Rules

Wiiki Rules

Follow these rules as you edit the Custom Track Wiiki. Breaking the rules can result in a warning, temporary ban, or a permanent ban.

1. Each author can have a maximum of 2 CTs on the List of Unfinished Tracks.
2. Uploaded images must have long, descriptive filenames (GCN_Sherbet_Land_Tock_Version.jpg) instead of short, meaningless filenames. (Image0027.jpg, Mytrack.jpg, avatar.jpg)
3. Very short Talk Pages and User Pages with fewer than 100 characters are not permitted.
4. Custom Tracks articles that have been on the Wiiki for more than 2 months but do not have any in-game video or pictures will be deleted.
5. Use the SHOW PREVIEW button as you edit a page until you are sure it is correct. Then SAVE. Do not edit any individual page more than 2 TIMES in a 15 MINUTE PERIOD.
6. The main download link in an article cannot require registration or a password. Secondary links (mirrors) that require registration can be used, but are discouraged.
7. Do not make multiple accounts on the Custom Track Wiiki.
8. Do not upload large, high-resolution images. Image uploads should be smaller than 300 kilobytes and in JPG format.
9. Don't ignore moderator hints and warnings. They spend much time to make this Wiiki uniformly and consistently.

Rules for New Articles

1. Use the search box on the left to make sure that an article similar to the one you want to create hasn't already been made.
2. Go to the Main Page and look at the red box titled "Making a new page? Use these formats:". If your new page isn't of a type listed, look on the wiki for a similar article to use as a guide.
   • For custom tracks use the Template:Custom-Track (see Help:Custom Track).
   • For texture hacks use the Template:Texture-Hack (see Help:Texture Hack).
3. Select an appropriate name for your new article.
4. Capitalize words and use correct spelling and spacing. Mariossuperfastraceway(textuer hack) contains errors and would be need to be renamed. 'Mario's Super Fast Raceway (GCN Mario Circuit Texture) would be correct.
5. Follow the the Rules for posting news to the front page.

Youtube Video Guidelines

1. No more than 3 embedded videos on any page. Tutorials and Distributions are exceptions.
2. Custom Track Videos should show Online Play or Grand Prix mode. Do not use Time Trials mode, as it does not show item boxes or buggy item or CPU routes.
3. Secondary videos should show a different play mode or an older major revision of the level.
4. Ports and remakes should have a video of the original version of the level.
5. The video title must not praise the author of the video. (Video by VideoGloryGuy) Instead the title must describe in a few words what the video will show. (Cool Circuit V1: Replay Cameras)
6. Use the blue variant (default) of the video box. The other colors are reserved for special videos like bugs or original tracks.
7. Embedded videos must link to the track's page on the Wiiki instead of a direct download to the file. This is to ensure that people downloading the track will get the most current version of the track instead of an old version.

Custom Track Etiquette

1. Tracks are the property of their respective creators.
2. If you are editing another author's work, get their permission to release the modified product, or to use parts of their level, such as custom textures or items.
   • Exception: If it has been more than six months since the track author's last update, it is permissible to update a level to fix glitches without the original author's permission.
3. Custom track uploaded to the Wiiki can be included in any Track Distribution unless specifically prohibited by the track's author.
