Hollow Knight Wiki:Rules of Conduct

Please make sure you also familiarise yourself with the Editing Guidelines and How-To!

In order to combat certain problems, these rules have been established.

Users whose behaviour does not meet the standards of the wiki may receive a warning. If problems with the user persist, they may have their editing right revoked, be suspended, or even banned, depending on the severity of the issues.

What the Wiki isn't
 * A fan content site: the Hollow Knight wiki does not host fan fiction. If you want to write fan fiction please do so on the Hollow Knight Fanon wiki.
 * Complete: This wiki will remain in an incomplete state for the foreseeable future.

What the Wiki is
 * A place for information about the contents of Hollow Knight and Silksong.

Editing Rules 1. Registered users may receive a ban for first offences, depending upon the severity of the vandalism and Fandom discretion.


 * 1.1 Vandalism includes both the addition of objectionable items, as well as destructive deletion.


 * 1.2 Do not leave messages in the article.


 * 1.3 Do not include opinions in the article.


 * 1.4 Do not leave jokes or memes in the article.

2. No edit warring. If you and another editor disagree, discuss it on a wall message thread or on the Wiki Discord.

3. No use of bots unless authorised by an admin.

4. Do your best to use proper spelling and grammar when editing. Please refer to the terminology section of the editing guidelines for reference.

5. Assume good faith: when someone makes an edit, assume that it was to help the wiki, not an act of vandalism. If a mistake is made, assume it was an accident, correct the edit and ask the user to be more careful next time and if applicable, show them how to work a sandbox.


 * 5.1 If a user adds incorrect information, assume that they believe it is correct, and discuss it on their Message Wall to settle the matter. If you have information to prove the claim wrong, please present it.


 * 5.2 If there is a disagreement, you should use talk pages to explain yourself and give others opportunity to do the same. You must work together with the rest of the community to come to a consensus on the correct content for this wiki.


 * 5.3 Remember to be patient with newcomers. They may not know how to edit a wiki or what's supposed to be added as content.

Discussions Due to low capacity to properly moderate Discussion posts and in regards to the large amount of under 18 year old fans that Hollow Knight has amassed, we have decided to close Discussions.

You are welcome to discuss Hollow Knight and the wiki in these places:


 * Main HK Discord https://discord.gg/qyrF5tP
 * HK Subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/hollowknight

Thank you for your understanding.
