Future Polandball Wiki:FAQ, policies and guidelines

There's a list of the FAQ, policies and guidelines of the wiki.

FAQ
1. What can I do here?

-Create and edit pages about alternate future countryballs. Future countryballs don't need to follow a determinate alternate future world (such as America will be bigger and Mexico will be a protectorate), you can create and edit freely, even if it's an empire occuping the whole world.

2. Can I create an extraterrestrial countryball/colonyball on Earth?

-Yep. But read what you write before publishing. It can hurt or worry some people too much. And this is not a wiki of terror.

3. Can I create a very evil countryball?

-Okay, but please extreme control on what you put. For example, DON'T put "NAZIS WILL BE THE LEADERS OF THE EARTH AND WILL REMOVE ALL STALINIST PIGS!" or something like that. IT'S ALSO STRICTLY FORBIDDEN adding controversial propaganda.

4. Can I create a alternate future countryball with exactly the same name than current ones?

-If you don't apply the same information (such as page "Polandball" and content "President Andrzej Duda") we can allow it.
