Line 4:
 
== Questionable content ==
''Emmy the Robot'', our primary canon source material and our greatest inspiration, is cute, wholesome, and family-friendly. Its premise is simple, yet inspires many fans to write their own fan stories, illustrate their favorite nandroids, and even create [[Category:Fandroids|custom nandroids]] of their very own. These works explore many new situations and environments, attempt to expand or explain minor details in the comic, or try to further develop entire new parts of Emmy's world that the canon comic may never touch upon.
 
As a result, many stories contain mature themes not suitable for minors. Many of Emmy the Robots' fans are well into adulthood, writing or illustrating for other adult fans on other adult-oriented websites, and some content may be shocking or offensive to some viewers. But as a repository of knowledge for both canon and fanon material, this wiki aims to provide both a complete record as well as document both its largest and proudest creations, no matter where they may hail from.
'''Its fandom, however, is not.'''
 
It is therefore important to set the readers' expectations straight: not everything you will see on this wiki will share the innocent, family-friendly nature of ''Emmy the Robot''. Some content documented here mightmay be considered '''Not Safe For Work'''. Other content might be perfectly safe, but may originate from NSFW sources. ForA good example are fandroids created on 4chan's /co/ threads, where a popularlarge innocentpart fanof Emmy the Robot's fanbase congregates and participates. characterFandroids may originate from ainnocent 4chan postposts sharing the same thread with reprehensible, offensive posts. Such a thread '''must''' still be cited as a source and linked to accordingly.▼
It so happens that a significant part of the ''Emmy the Robot'' fan community is concentrated on the Comics and Cartoons (/co/) board on 4chan, a site that is somewhat notorious for a variety of reasons. It is the place where much, if not most, of the fan-created content documented on this wiki originates, and it is the place where the administrators of this wiki met each other in the first place. A lot of the community’s fan creators also have a presence on social media platforms such as Twitter, where they often dabble in suggestive or explicit content.
 
Nevertheless, wein doan noteffort allowto uphold the core spirit of Emmy the Robot, outright explicit material onis barred from this wiki,. andThe we havefollowing rules to regulate the usage of questionable content inwhen the line is generalblurred:▼
Because of this, fan content unavoidably comes with some weird baggage. While there are many fan-made characters and stories that share the webcomic's wholesome nature, there is also content that deals with darker or more mature themes, features swearing, sex or violence, or is even outright created for the purpose of being shocking or offensive. And while it is often uncomfortable for us to deal with these things, we have to acknowledge them in order to present a complete record.
 
▲It is therefore important to set the readers' expectations straight: not everything you will see on this wiki will share the innocent, family-friendly nature of ''Emmy the Robot''. Some content documented here might be considered '''Not Safe For Work'''. Other content might be perfectly safe, but may originate from NSFW sources. For example, a popular innocent fan character may originate from a 4chan post sharing the same thread with reprehensible, offensive posts. Such a thread '''must''' be cited as a source and linked to accordingly.
 
▲Nevertheless, we do not allow outright explicit material on this wiki, and we have rules to regulate the usage of questionable content in general:
 
# '''Pages that feature or refer to questionable content must be prefaced with the [[Template:Warning/Discretion_advised|appropriate warning]].''' Everyone's sensibilities for what can be considered questionable are different, so err on the side of caution.
# '''Questionable content must be kept away from pages that primarily focus on canon material.''' Such content is absolutely not what most people coming to read about canon material will want to see. Links to NSFW fanfiction featuring canon characters must stay on the Fan stories subpage and not be included onto the main page.
# '''GraphicExplicit imageryor ofgraphic suggestive,images sexual,or violentdescriptions orof offensivesex natureor violence must not be uploaded to or written on this wiki at all.''' All images shouldand text must be suitable for public viewing or reading. Again,You errmay onmention thethat sidea ofcharacter cautionsustained a severe injury or that two characters have a sexual relationship if you aremust, unsurebut ifdo annot imagego further than is safeabsolutely tonecessary uploadfor orcontext. notErr on the side of caution.
# '''Explicit graphic descriptions of sex or violence must not be written on this wiki at all.''' All text should likewise be suitable for public viewing. You can mention that a character sustained a severe injury or that two characters have a sexual relationship if you absolutely must, but don't go into all the juicy details.
 
== Writing about own work ==
Line 26 ⟶ 21:
Try to stay unbiased when writing about your own work. Remember, you are making a page for a knowledge repository, not an entry for a "best character" contest. Also, keep in mind that how you perceive your own creation might differ from the impression others get from it.
 
'''Do not make entiresentries on this wiki for the sake of making entries on this wiki.''' Ideally, the wiki should be a repository of information collected from elsewhere, not its original source. While nothing is stopping you from writing a page about a character you've just come up with and citing "own work" as a source, it is going to read a lot like "Source: dude trust me". Thus, if you have conceived of a character, consider putting information about them elsewhere first, and then citing it as a source on the wiki. It can be a [https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/117107611/#117125064 post in an ''Emmy the Robot'' thread on /co/], a [https://twitter.com/mithraGVR1/status/1512630055960256516 tweet], a [https://archiveofourown.org/works/38237206/chapters/95535328 short story on AO3], or even just [https://pastebin.com/XaD8W9td character descriptions in a text file on Pastebin], or at the very least a screenshot of a conversation with your friends on Discord. The more verifiable the source is, the better.
 
== Subject notability ==
Line 32 ⟶ 27:
 
== No pages for real people ==
WeThis wantwiki is meant to seehouse pages about a variety of fictional subjects: [[Nandroid]]s, other characters, locations and so on. We also want toThis seeincludes pages about notable stories in which those fictional subjects appear.
