MiiWiki:Social media draft
MiiWiki is a place for covering all things officially related to Miis in an encyclopedic manner, and as such, is not the place for theories, fanart, etc., and any other discussion that is not beneficial to the wiki as a factual encyclopedic resource. However, we do have accounts and groups on social media for this purpose.
Discord
MiiWiki has a Discord server owned by Kirb, and in addition to being used for discussion of wiki matters, it also has a live recent changes and channels for chatting and sharing created Miis. It also has a voice channel. You can join by clicking here. A free discord account is required to join. The discord staff is the same as the wiki staff, and there are also roles for wiki support members and users with wiki accounts.

MiiWiki:Deletion policy draft
MiiWiki aims to get content in order to be a good resource. However, content that is not helpful to MiiWiki as a resource will need to be deleted.
Marking pages for deletion
Pages that should be deleted should be marked with {{Delete}} with a reason. This adds a notice to the page and puts it in Category:To be deleted. If the page isn't one that needs to be deleted immediately, then the editor adding the deletion notice should also start a talk page discussion regarding it. They should also make sure to orphan the page first (Special:Whatlinkshere should display no pages).
Content that should be deleted
- Unnecessary redirects
- File/Template/Talk redirects
- Userspace redirects (unless it is a subpage of a non-redirect page or it was created from a renaming)
- Redirects with qualifiers
- Redirects using fan names
- Typo redirects
- Duplicate files
- Outside scope
- Anything illegal
- Personal files if a single user has more than 5 (the user should be contacted first and asked which one should be deleted)
MiiWiki:Dispute policy draft
Occasionally users on a wiki will disagree on how to best cover something. If two or more users are undoing each other's edits (commonly known as an edit war) and neither is vandalizing the page, then it is a dispute. Disputes should be handled through the following steps as necessary:
- {{Dispute}} should be added to the page or section to indicate that the part of it being disputed should not be edited. It should also be protected by an administrator if the entire page is being disputed.
- The editors disputing should explain their reasons for their edits on the talk page
- If this fails to solve the issue, a vote should be held on the talk page
- If the vote ends in a tie, then an administrator should settle the dispute
MiiWiki:Personal content policy draft
- This article is about personal images and audio. For other personal things on the wiki, see Help:Userspace.
Personal content is allowed on MiiWiki in order for users to express themselves on their userpages. However, as the wiki's primary purpose is to be a factual resource and not a social network, there are limits on personal files.
Uploading personal files
Personal files can be uploaded at Special:Upload like any other file (see Help:Files, although do note that personal files do not need to meet all of the guidelines listed there). However, unlike other files, they have special parameters on {{Aboutfile}}:
|type=userindicates that it is a personal file|user=[username]indicates which user it is the file of (replace [username] with your username)
Guidelines for personal files
Personal files must still be properly sourced, be of a supported filetype, and not be illegal. Other than that, personal files don't have any content restrictions, although a single user cannot have more than five personal files.
