-'''DNP''' stands for '''Do Not Post'''. Things on this list should not be posted anywhere on [[Wowpedia]]. Some of them are specifically banned and will get '''you''' banned if you persist in posting them.
-==Copyrighted content==
+==External links==
+<!-- Read http://www.wowpedia.org/Wowpedia:External_links before posting your links here.
-Copyrighted content (from Blizzard or another source) which is in blatant violation of fair use is not permitted to be posted.  See [[WP:COPY|the copyright policy]] for more information.
+Links that do not conform to the rules will be DELETED.
+Repeat violations may result in a BAN.
-==Exploits==
+Have a nice day. :) -->
-Posting of info or links to any kind of [[exploit]]s (or any other way of breaking Blizzard's [[Terms of Use]] or [[EULA]]) will be deleted and will result in a ban. It is suggested, therefore, that you not do so.  However, depending on the use of the term, datamining is prevalent in the WoW community even among reputable official fansites, usually for data about items and similar information.  Therefore, for the purposes of this policy, publication of datamined content on Wowpedia is controlled as defined below.
+{{Elinks-item|47852}}
-==Datamined or unreleased content==
-{{seealso|Wowpedia:Images policy}}
-For the purposes of this section, datamining is defined as accessing content which is not accessible in normal gameplay in the official unmodified client or any official tools Blizzard may provide (such as [http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/ui/ the User Interface Customization tool]).  While "model viewer" images of live or PTR content are permissible, "true" in-game screenshots are preferred and will always be given preference over model viewer content.  Content arrived at by an exploit is not allowed to be posted on Wowpedia.
-Only articles about ''announced'' content are permitted. Where topics center around information released in-game or in game data files, only information pertaining to [[live]] or [[test realm|public test]] clients are permitted. Certain pieces of unannounced content may be exempt from this for reasons of extreme notoriety and importance, which will be up to an administrator's judgment. Note that [[Blizzard Entertainment]] has final say on what content can be shown.  Content from clients which are under a [[WP:NDA|non-disclosure agreement]] is considered to be unannounced, until the agreement is lifted.
-==Speculation==
-Unsourced speculation (that is, speculation without factual sources) is not permitted in main namespace articles on the wiki, and all speculation should be kept separate from factual content within articles. This is discussed in detail in the [[WP:LORE#Speculation|writing policy for lore]].
-Inaccuracy or opinions about announced content are best kept off-wiki (see [[WP:EL|the external links policy]]); unannounced content on external sites is not permitted to be linked.  Information which is difficult to maintain, such as item drop rates, should be left to off-wiki item database sites.
-== Off-topic content ==
-Do not post content that has no connection with the [[Warcraft universe]] whatsoever. This is considered [[wikisquatting]]. Off-topic content can be deleted by any Wowpedia contributor, and whole pages that are off-topic are candidates for [[Wowpedia:Speedy deletion policy|speedy deletion]]. Persisting in posting such content may get you labeled as a [[WP:V|vandal]] and/or banned.
-Wowpedia is not Wikipedia. Do not create articles to define real-world things which have little connection to [[Warcraft]]. If it is necessary to provide a definition, you can use an [[metawikipedia:Help:Interwiki linking|interwiki link]] to connect to the likely more in-depth article on Wikipedia.
-=== Examples of off-topic content ===
-* The now-deleted articles on various gaming consoles. They may be gaming machines, but they have never run [[WoW]].
-* A guild page containing nothing but an encyclopedia entry on the bird family (the animal).
-=== Examples of tangential but on-topic content ===
-* An article on how to spec your PC/Mac to run WoW smoothly is tangential, but on-topic.
-== Defamatory or false content ==
-Articles and/or talk pages that are nothing but personal defamation not only violates the [[Wowpedia:Neutrality policy|neutral-point-of-view policy]], but are also illegal in many countries. Defamatory content can be deleted by any Wowpedia contributor, and whole pages that are nothing but defamation are candidates for [[Wowpedia:Speedy deletion policy|speedy deletion]].
-Note that a modicum of common sense has to be applied to this policy. While isolated cases of "I think you are being a jerk right now, because'' <well-formulated and objective reasons>...''" as a response in a talk page is not exactly good [[Wowpedia:wikiquette|wikiquette]], it is not defamation. A whole barrage of why a person has to be an idiot is defamation.
-* When tagging a defamatory page {{t|speedydelete}}, you ''may'' want to remove pieces of the text pointing to specific people while the page is awaiting deletion. It is a judgment call. This goes especially for real-world contact information like phone numbers, real-world addresses, etc.
-* Please add a line below the {{t|speedydelete}} tag indicating that the page is strictly defamation and that is the reason why it is being deleted. Alternatively, use <nowiki>{{speedydelete|<reason for deletion>}}</nowiki>.
-Attempting to mislead others by submitting content which is blatantly false and which is not subject to interpretation is also not acceptable. When in doubt, and if you can, you should [[WP:CITE|cite it]].
-Persisting in posting either defamatory or false content may end up with you labeled as a vandal and/or banned.
-=== Discrimination ===
-Wowpedia is a wiki for everyone. We do not tolerate discrimination based upon social status, age, sex, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, faction, server, guild, etc.
-== Non-English content ==
-Wowpedia is an English wiki. Its infrastructure does not support content in other languages. Doing so would entail something like what [http://www.wikipedia.org wikipedia] has — different sub-domains and monitoring routines to track changes between different language versions of pages and alert translators.
-Therefore, non-English content is against policy and can be tagged {{t|speedydelete}} when found (except for certain guild pages — see exceptions, below).
-* '''Visit [[wikis]] for a large selection of Warcraft wikis in other languages such as German and French.'''
-=== Nonsense ===
-Pages which don't make any sense or are "non-content" may be candidates for deletion. Non-content includes empty or virtually empty pages (or stubs with absolutely no content, as discussed in [[WP:STUB|the stub policy]]), slang terms, and forum memes if they do not reach outside the scope of one small group of people who are using it or are aware of it. Terms and memes which only exist on one server are permissible within the server's page and subpages.
-*The [[Alamo]] meme, for example, is referenced by [[Blizz]]ard and therefore is not a candidate for deletion.
-*Slang terms and memes should be cited with multiple references from throughout the Warcraft community if possible.
-== Exceptions ==
-* One ''possible'' exception is quoted material pasted from a part of a page where the author simply would not or could not translate it. If this content is on-topic and otherwise not available on Wowpedia, it is a candidate for translation — ''or'' removal as part of the regular editing process.
-* Guild pages. As per [[WP:GUILD|guild page policy]], these pages are required to have three (3) sentences in English. Other than that, we allow guild pages to continue in whichever language; it makes sense to allow it since some [[guild]]s cater only to speakers of a specific language. Pages violating this are tagged {{t|Stub/Guild}} and given the standard time to correct the problem.
-*The template {{t|silly}} (nor any other template) '''does not''' prevent an article from being subject to the DNP policy.
-==Violations==
-Content which qualifies as DNP should be edited out, or if the entire page is DNP content, tagged for [[WP:SD|speedy deletion]]. If you cannot edit out the content, you should tag the page with {{t|Violation}}.
-Users who persist in posting DNP content may have action taken against them per the [[WP:VANDAL|vandalism policy]].
