The Sims Wiki:Guidelines

In addition to our policies, The Sims Wiki also follow some guidelines. These are not rules set in stone. These are decisions which have been reached by popular consensus and are subject to discussion at our Community Portal talk page.

Guidelines

 * No merge with The Sims Fanon Wiki. →
 * No articles on unannounced titles with The Sims game rumors as an exception. →
 * No affiliation with non-Sims sites. →
 * The wiki contains spoilers, there is no need to mark them in articles. →

Editing Userpages
A user should not edit another user's user page unless:
 * The page violates wiki policy; please notify an Administrator in this case so that appropriate warnings can be issued.
 * The page owner gives permission to make changes.
 * The edit is minor, with the intent to fix a mistake or problem on the page; a user who makes an edit in this way should notify the page's owner immediately afterward to avoid confusion.

Use of words
While the use of some words (gay, retarded, etc.) in some contexts may not violate policy, they are typically frowned upon and may be deleted by users or administrators, especially if overused.
 * If a user asks that certain words be avoided in certain contexts, those words should not be used. Use of those words after a request has been made may warrant administrative warnings or other actions.

Warnings
Administrators may issue a Warning to users who violate policy or are otherwise not acting in good faith. Warnings are not meant to be punishments, but rather are meant to get a user's attention related to a particular action or actions.
 * Warnings may be deleted as soon as they are received.
 * Warnings are generally not debatable. If an administrator gives multiple unfair warnings, it may be proper to contact a bureaucrat, but most warnings are justifiable.
 * Failure to remedy warned behavior is grounds for block or ban.

Additionally, non-administrators can issue non-template warnings, but these warnings may not threaten further action against a user. Non-administrators who issue these warnings should immediately inform an administrator.
