Animal Jam Stories Wiki:Story Policies

Welcome to the Story Policies page! Please read this page carefully so you know what to do when you make a story. These policies are not in place to limit your creative freedom.

Categories
On, we have categories to categorize our stories; you should add categories to your stories as well. Please also note that the PG-13 category does not need to be added manually (see Animal Jam Stories Wiki:#Templates).

We have lots of categories to describe your stories with. The complete list is here! [link with all categories]

Removing a Category
Removing a category is super simple- just click on the category you want to delete and hit the trash can icon!

Format
The formatting of the story is very important. For your story, please do not put all of the text in a big paragraph. Instead, split up the story into tinier paragraphs. It will be easier for people to read and enjoy your story!

Templates
Templates are helpful to your story if you want to indicate something to your readers. There are three templates currently in use:
 * PG-13
 * Untrue
 * Delete

PG-13 Template
The PG-13 Template is for stories that are not recommended for people 12 or younger. To add the template, put at the top of the story. The PG-13 category is automatically added once you place the template.

Untrue Template
If a story is untrue and the main character says it is true, put the Untrue template. Just use at the top of the page like the PG-13 template. This template is only for stories that could be perceived as true, so please do not start adding this category to every story. Also, do not argue with an author if a story is true or not. Instead, let a staff member deal with the situation.

Delete Template
This template is for stories that an author wants to be deleted, or violates one of the rules of the wiki. To add this template, use (I think you should know where it goes by now). The “reason for deletion” part should have the reason for why it is being deleted. It should not be blank. The “Candidates for Deletion” template is added automatically.

If the page should actually stay up instead, the template will be removed.
