Minecraft Wiki is an online source of information about the video game ''Minecraft'' and related subjects. The wiki can be edited by anyone and is governed by the [[wp:consensus|consensus]] of its users, derived by argument-supported, civil collaboration between them. Minecraft Wiki has a set of rules all editors should [[MCW:IAR|normally]] follow.

#{{anchor|1}} '''Anything that is against the <span class="plainlinks">[https://www.minecraft.net/eula Minecraft EULA]</span> and/or <span class="plainlinks">[https://www.minecraft.net/usage-guidelines usage guidelines]</span> is not allowed on the wiki, no matter what.'''
#{{anchor|2}} Do not [[wp:vandalism|vandalize]], [[wp:spam|spam]], or <ins>otherwise</ins> [[wp:disruptive editing|edit disruptively]].
#{{anchor|3}} Keep your behavior [[wp:Civility|civil]] and [[MCW:AGF|assume good faith]]. Do not [[wp:Harassment|harass]], stalk, or insult anyone. Address the action, not the person behind it.
#{{anchor|4}} Avoid misleading readers and other editors. Make sure your contributions to articles are verifiable. Do not add speculation, parody content, or hoaxes to articles.
#{{anchor|5}} Do not advertise any fan communities or servers. Articles should not contain information about or links to fan communities except in cited references.
#{{anchor|6}} Do not [[wp:Copyright violations|copy content]] from other sources, including those that discuss ''Minecraft''. If you believe there is a legitimate need to use some copyrighted image as a [[wp:Non-free content|fair use]] file, [[Template:License copyright|mark it as such]].
#{{anchor|7}} Do not link or embed external videos in articles, unless there is no other way to demonstrate the phenomenon, or the video is official. For more details, see the [[MCW:Wiki rules/Video policy|video policy]].
#{{anchor|8}} The wiki is not a file-hosting service. If an uploaded file is not integrated into a useful page soon after the upload, it may be deleted without notice. Uploading images for your userspace is allowed.
#{{anchor|9}} Accounts with [[wp:Inappropriate usernames|offensive, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate usernames]] may be blocked indefinitely.
#{{anchor|10}} [[wp:Sockpuppetry|Abuse of multiple accounts]] for block evasion or other circumvention of policy may result in these accounts being indefinitely blocked.
## An editor may have more than one account '''only''' if all accounts used by the editor are clearly marked.
## Conversely, each account should only be used by one person. If a group or organization wishes to edit on-wiki, each individual member that will be editing needs to create their own account.
#{{anchor|11}} Using generative AI (for example, ChatGPT) to edit the wiki is not allowed. For more details, see the [[MCW:Wiki rules/Generative AI policy|generative AI policy]].

Articles in the "User" namespace are exempt from rules 4, 5, 7, and 11. If you are not sure whether something is acceptable, please ask on [[MCT:PORTAL|the community portal]].
