- Partake in the act of name-dropping or witch-hunting towards a specific user or group for any reason, even if you believe the user has wronged you
- Use harsh language (such as the b-word or f-bomb) or any sort of slurs. This wiki handles language just as Feral does, which means that low-tier swears are allowed, but more offensive swears, slurs, and swears directed at specific users are prohibited.

On the Feral Wiki, we aim to provide the community with quality content on relevant Fer.al topics. We follow strict article layout guidelines that ensures the best reader navigation and clarity. This is to help make information more easily accessible and understandable.
By contributing to the Feral Wiki through the use of edits, you agree not to:
- Use profane or vulgar language in content pages
- Make repeated, unnecessary edits (known as edit or badge farming)
- Vandalize or otherwise edit a page with malicious intent (See Help:Vandalism)
- Post, promote, or link to any content that is obscene, pornographic, abusive, offensive, profane, or otherwise violates any law or right of any third party, or content that contains homophobia, ethnic slurs, religious intolerance, or encourages criminal conduct
- Post false or misleading information with the intent to deliberately trick users
- Post any content that contains personal opinion or otherwise non-canon content (including but not limited to item worths, first or second person point of views, theories/speculation, groups/"cults", etc.)
- Add unnecessary or irrelevant images to articles (See Image Policy)
- Claim content pages as a personal belonging and dispute or argue with users or staff who edit the page in good faith—all content pages are property of the wiki as a whole and do not belong to any one specific person
Furthermore, all edits should:
- Be used to add missing or relevant information or to fix a mistake
- Follow the official Article Creation Guide
- Be written in formal American English spelling
Image Policy
To follow the uniformed layout of the wiki, certain image policies have been put in place to help keep pages organized and as efficient as possible.
Images on article pages should NOT contain:
- Non-descriptive file names such as Screenshot_1.png, hgdalsgh.png, etc.
- Fanon or user-created content such as fanart or an image altered with a photo-editing program (with the exception of quality upgrades or other relevant changes for the article)
- Personal or distracting avatars with the intent to show off a particular design rather than add useful information to a page
- Triggering content such as flashing colors or common phobias
Images on article pages SHOULD contain:
- Plain, monotone or otherwise non-distracting avatars with no other accessories applied (Accessory pages only)
- Items shown against plain backgrounds with no other items showing (Sanctuary Item pages only)
- Descriptive file names that can be easily distinguished from others (e.g. flourishing_hat_icon.png rather than Screenshot_08_04_2020_at_9_56_32_pm.png)
- High-quality, .png or .jpg formatting
- Proper cropping to display only the content desired
- Properly formatted captions (e.g. This item as seen… etc.)
See this thread for more information.
The legal terms of Fer.al, otherwise known as the Terms of Service, must be followed by every user who plays the game. As such, the Feral Wiki also follows and enforces these rules to protect all users who contribute.
Common violations of Fer.al’s terms of service include:
- Trading Feral items for items in other games, real-life currency, or artwork (commonly referred to as cross-trading)
- Trading in-game accounts
- Selling in-game items
- Scamming
- Hacking
- Searching the game’s files (commonly referred to as data-mining) for unreleased content
- Usage of Feral by someone who is 12 or under (See COPPA)

Both Feral and FANDOM require all users to be 13+ years of age. The Feral Wiki also follows and enforces these rules to ensure the safety of every user.
If a user has explicitly stated their age on the FANDOM platform or another relevant establishment that their FANDOM account has confirmed to be their own, the wiki staff reserve the right to block their account until they reach 13 years of age.
By default, all pages on the wiki fall under the CC-BY-SA licensing. It covers both the topic of crediting within and outside of the Feral Wiki. By using the Feral Wiki or its content, you agree that your use of it will fall under these terms.
This wiki's goal is to provide as much information about Feral to anyone who needs it. You are free to use this wiki and its information for your own projects as long as you give credit. Real people write the thousands of pages you see on this site, and repurposing their work for your own benefit without giving credit is plagiarism.
Likewise, if you are writing an article for the wiki and use any source outside of the wiki or Feral (such as the Feral Archives, Feral Maps, a YouTube video, etc.), you must give credit to them by linking the original source somewhere on the article where it is clear and easy to find. This can include in a separate bibliography section, in an image caption, or at the end of an existing section.
