:Did the author of the page ever say that this page is about a world that they made? Because if that was never said, I believe there is no claim that this is a violation of the COI. Don't know how else we could prove it. I think the author can reach out since this deletion seems to be an error.

VRCWiki talk:Conflicts of interest

2024-10-08T20:01:04Z

Usr 6909a532-22e9-49f7-81e3-e964fe7dc00a: /* Why was the COI Policy changed without a prior draft? */ new section

== The current COI policy is not very interpretable ==

I have a concern with the current state of the conflicts of interest policy. The documentation on this policy is both lenient and vague, and I feel like this policy needs to be ''VRChat-ified'' and also give examples and what may or may not qualify as a conflict.

For instance:

# "family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships" should remain in the article, but we could also make room to make it more relatable, and pertinent to VRChat. Maybe instead change this to: ''"VRChat friends, real friends, development teams that you hold a relationship with; clients, employers, among financial and other relationships"''
# "Some VRChat users may be the only source of information for worlds, avatars, and tools. It is acceptable for those users to contribute this information." opens up a gate for content creators to unconditionally work on their own article. I feel like there should be some, but limited exception to this rule, and would rather have to status quo be something similar to: ''"If there is uncertainty of information, the presence of misinformation, or misrepresentation contained within in article, the primary source may need to be queried for guidance by an editor."'' rather than personally allowing a COI to occur.
# Creation of an article, made directly by the world or avatar's author (or team) should '''never be allowed''', and this would break the ''"Avoid advertising and use neutral language to maintain a neutral point of view (NPOV)."'' statement within the policy. Creation of an article is giving the content a platform to promote itself, and writing NPOV as the primary source will almost always be impossible; this will be biased.
# We should also be linking 'good faith', 'be bold' and 'neutral point of view' policies; I recently added a COI Noticebox, and "See also" heading to this article recently. Let's proofread that too.

Thanks! [[User:Usr 8ee44c1a-f905-4e08-bb61-e1cd34e09fc0|Usr 8ee44c1a-f905-4e08-bb61-e1cd34e09fc0]] ([[User talk:Usr 8ee44c1a-f905-4e08-bb61-e1cd34e09fc0|talk]]) 00:30, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

:I think what's most problematic here is that its a direct copy of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|Wikipedia's COI]] page. This should've been changed much earlier to apply to VRCWiki better. Other policies also need significant updates as well for similar reasons I'm noticing. [[User:Usr c272d4fe-f1f8-4d77-8008-cad6cb81d6cd|Usr c272d4fe-f1f8-4d77-8008-cad6cb81d6cd]] ([[User talk:Usr c272d4fe-f1f8-4d77-8008-cad6cb81d6cd|talk]]) 00:43, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

The primary source not being able to straight up make a page in the Community: namespace and not being able to edit on it goes against one of the core principles of VRChat. VRChat is driven by user generated content and often the only ones able to talk about this sort of content are the ones who made it.

This applies to any community content, however for worlds and avatars specifically you may only be able to have surface level pages made for the top 0.1% most visited worlds + some stragglers edited from others unaffiliated. We would simply lose out on a lot of valuble contributions, if we put a roadblock for people to share their knowledge here.

I also dislike that having to go through a talk page would mean to be at the mercy of someone else. This would just mean that a few select who would bother to write up the page based on talk page input, have control of what gets added by selecting such requests or ignoring it. I would much rather someone passionate enough to engage with the wiki directly.

Further, a stringent COI policy wont stop anyone somewhat dedicated enough from making the article anyway. Ask a friend to make a barebones page for you to edit, ask a friend to copy paste your edit in, use an alt to make the page. The options are readily available. You would never know it happened. Maybe having people go this route would be better after all, at least then the illusion of the ideal editor remains alive.

Instead of going so hard on COI, focus on ensuring community content submitted follows all proper content guidelines: NPOV, Manual of Style, Notability. That way, you cannot just sidestep some COI gate. Regulating COI, like with the recently added "Biased" noticebox is a good way to signal, that there is no need to cheat the system. It also encourages people to share more. This also means, that the wiki can be more transparent, highlighting that the primary source is the only source and more input is needed. Finally this kind of regulation would make anyone sidestepping COI just to avoid a noticebox look silly to the public. A true transparent approach.

Following this I don't think it is feasible to use this wiki as advertising, with the aforementioned content guidelines in play. Although 1 page out of hundreds still has some impact on how much it is seen I guess. Talking about advertising, having a stringent COI would just mean the top 0.1% most visited worlds benefit here, since those would be the ones most likely to have pages in some form anyway.

VRC Staff has also signaled 2 months ago in our maintainer check-in meeting, that they have no problem with a primary source contributing on the Community side of the wiki, to help expand the wiki. I can see why, given their overall plans for this wiki project mid-term. And of course, since no one owns the page, anyone may edit on it as per usual.

I have also previously shared extensive thoughts on the COI draft [[User_talk:Usr_681ab43c-99d7-4e40-92ba-956d9d8d66e7/sandbox|here]] a while back. [[User:Usr 6909a532-22e9-49f7-81e3-e964fe7dc00a|Usr 6909a532-22e9-49f7-81e3-e964fe7dc00a]] ([[User talk:Usr 6909a532-22e9-49f7-81e3-e964fe7dc00a|talk]]) 01:19, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

:::''"The primary source not being able to straight up make a page in the Community: namespace and not being able to edit on it goes against one of the core principles of VRChat. VRChat is driven by user generated content and often the only ones able to talk about this sort of content are the ones who made it."''
:This is a ''wiki documenting VRChat'' '''not''' ''VRChat itself''. This is an important distinction to make.
:We create articles regarding VRChat's aspects as a platform from an informative and (as much as we can) unbiased perspective. World creators making pages for their own world is directly in violation of bias and puts scrutiny on what can and cannot be trusted on the wiki. Should Wikipedia also allow creators to go willy-nilly creating pages for their own work because in the real world, someone who creates something might be the only one able to make an article about it?
:Worlds as a whole were never supposed to be part of the wiki in the first place. Still, it was decided to be included to recognize culturally relevant worlds, the scope of what is considered "culturally relevant" is difficult to pinpoint directly without it being on a case-by-case basis. However, '''''not every world is notable, and not every world needs a page.''''' We should know this already given other community-based VRChat wiki attempts, it often bloats up the categories list with pages that end up being 1-2 paragraphs long, only explaining what's in the world, and that's it.
:To put it simply, allowing creators to create pages for their own worlds would likely result in many non-notable, redundant, or low-quality pages, leading to unnecessary bloating. This would dilute the wiki's overall quality and would make it more difficult to find relevant information for readers. We should be striving to prioritize content that is culturally or significantly relevant instead of catering to every single creator. ''Quality over quantity.''
: 
:::''"It also encourages people to share more."''
:Again, while sharing your creations is an important aspect of VRChat, the wiki is ''about'' VRChat, not VRChat itself. People who are not familiar with VRChat will be reading these pages on notable worlds to learn more about them. '''''We are not a repository for sharing and indexing worlds.'''''
: 
:::''"Further, a stringent COI policy wont stop anyone somewhat dedicated enough from making the article anyway."''
:Suggesting that people will simply bypass and find loopholes in policies does ''NOT'' justify making them less stringent. Policy is not about rules or magically stopping every case scenario, but defining '''''ethical editing boundaries.'''''
: 
:::''"Following this I don't think it is feasible to use this wiki as advertising, with the aforementioned content guidelines in play. Although 1 page out of hundreds still has some impact on how much it is seen I guess."''
:Even if only one page in hundreds of pages could be considered advertising, it sets a precedent. '''Wikis should not act as promotional tools for individual creators,''' they are meant to be an ''informative resource.'' If any creator is allowed to create a page for their worlds, it becomes difficult to draw a line between valuable and informative contributions and self-promotion.
: 
:'''''To restate:''''' We are a wiki providing ''informative'' resources ''about'' VRChat. Not an index for worlds, not a tool for creators to get their content out there, but to provide informative information regarding VRChat and relevant creations inside VRChat. [[User:Usr c272d4fe-f1f8-4d77-8008-cad6cb81d6cd|Usr c272d4fe-f1f8-4d77-8008-cad6cb81d6cd]] ([[User talk:Usr c272d4fe-f1f8-4d77-8008-cad6cb81d6cd|talk]]) 20:00, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

::Notability guidelines are already in place for both Avatars and Worlds, which do apply of course. I just dont see how we are supposed to document community content on vrchat, by leaving out one of the best and most passionate source for it. Not to mention who else would write about it. Of course you can say that "well it just is not worth writing about", but going by that logic I wonder, how it is that we barely get any world pages made as is.

::Excluding the 1/3 or so of all world pages I authored, that I could meaningfully contribute to and finished up as best as I could, we got:
::* 4 fully featured and finished pages where the creator or those adjacent took part in
::* 8 (actual) stubs. Made by other editors, mostly maintainers. actual stubs as in ones that are not just nearly finished.
::* 6 game world pages, which mostly focus on the gameplay elements, these are the most comprehensive ones so far.
::* The remaining 4 or 5 worlds are very popular worlds in the top 0.1%
::So despite this wiki being open and announced for a while now it seems there are not that many people to have something to say about Worlds. Yet given how nearly all of the top 0.1% of worlds have not even gotten a page, one should assume we would find someone other than those involved with it to write about them. Or maybe, I guess we just dont need World and Avatar pages after all.
::I am not to say that we have to accommodate creators coming in sharing information about their worlds, but it would most certainly benefit the wiki, if they can abide by the content guidelines. All I want is to provide a way for everyone to contribute, so the community namespace can properly consolidate information that is currently scattered all over the place.
::I would also like to add, that I do think the Community: Namespace is a repository for information of sorts, by the community. This includes worlds, that is if they have more value added than what is in their world description in VRC that is.
::The reason i brought up the classic "ask a friend to paste in my edit" thing is just to outline that this is a real scenario that can and likely already played out on here. It is a reality that simply cannot be moderated or policed away and that we are better off regulating it in a way, where it is visible to the public if only 1 person took part in the page. I guess you could even filter out such pages from the category pages while it has such a noticebox, should that being there count as "advertising". We would also be rewarding people who like to go against the guidelines, if we start blocking good faith edits of the primary source.

I also expressed my opionion that counters yours, that I do indeed believe "(...)the Community: Namespace is a repository for information of sorts, by the community" and that the "(...)community namespace can properly consolidate information that is currently scattered all over the place.". Further in regards to empty pages being made, I do believe that if that more quality ocntributions "(...) would most certainly benefit the wiki, if they can abide by the content guidelines."
:::::::"However, not every world is notable, and not every world needs a page"
::::I stated in my reply: "Notability guidelines are already in place for both Avatars and Worlds, which do apply of course."
:::::::"Suggesting that people will simply bypass and find loopholes in policies does NOT justify making them less stringent."
::::I stated in my reply on the last paragraph, that i wanted to "(...)outline that this is a real scenario that can and likely already played out on here. It is a reality that simply cannot be moderated or policed away." Not to disagree with your sentiment, but so reality is taken into account.
:::::::"Wikis should not act as promotional tools for individual creators, they are meant to be an informative resource."
::::I suggested: "...we are better off regulating it in a way, where it is visible to the public if only 1 person took part in the page. I guess you could even filter out such pages from the category pages while it has such a noticebox". In my initial reply I also said: "Regulating COI, like with the recently added "Biased" noticebox is a good way to signal, that there is no need to cheat the system"
::::Overall my believe is also that the content added should be informative/neutral and that this can be accomplished when the "(...)focus (is) on ensuring community content submitted follows all proper content guidelines: NPOV, Manual of Style, Notability."
::::I hope this makes my reply more clear as to where i specifically replied to the points you made. [[User:Usr 6909a532-22e9-49f7-81e3-e964fe7dc00a|Usr 6909a532-22e9-49f7-81e3-e964fe7dc00a]] ([[User talk:Usr 6909a532-22e9-49f7-81e3-e964fe7dc00a|talk]]) 22:39, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
:::::Just want to echo some sentiments expressed here.
:::::- We shouldn't be punishing and/or restricting some of the most knowledgeable and passionate sources of information
:::::- No matter what you do, there MAY be some small amount of people who will advertise/self-promote. You can try and write overly complex policies that as a practical matter - nobody's ever going to read (I want to contribute knowledge not read pages and pages of guidelines - keep it simple !!) OR you can write a very simple and clear policy that just states "don't self promote". Just write a policy that addresses the actual issue.
:::::These policies aren't really pro-active, in an everyday sense they are usually reactive. It's something to point to when a page is removed or moderated or whatever. So rather than say "oh this person kinda knows that guy who worked on the world and it crossed this complicated threshold for COI (even though the page itself is fine)" just say "we don't want self promotion". Clear, simple, concise.
:::::Just an example of the kind of approach I'd rather see. [[User:Usr 4ff4eeb3-c824-406a-86f3-1252d585b4ca|Usr 4ff4eeb3-c824-406a-86f3-1252d585b4ca]] ([[User talk:Usr 4ff4eeb3-c824-406a-86f3-1252d585b4ca|talk]]) 19:55, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
::::::I think there's a big misunderstanding of what policies are for. As stated previously, it's not going to magically stop everyone who breaks the policy. It's to lay the groundwork for ''ethical editing.'' To consider it reactive is very reductionary and fails in understanding why we have policies in the first place, fullstop.
::::::
::::::::"We shouldn't be punishing and/or restricting some of the most knowledgeable and passionate sources of information"
::::::The idea of this being "punishment" is an overreaction, creators would still have input regarding their own creations, however we don't want people to simply create pages willy-nilly for all their creations. That's the issue at hand here. Nobody is being punished for having the most knowledge, it's about being ethical and making sure the wiki is a place people can trust to get '''objective''' information from.
::::::Please consider the wiki's goals, it's not a place for creators, it's a place for readers to learn information about specific topics, which is what is meant by '''''Not every world needs a page.''''' Does the three-hundredth and twelve cozy world with a pool table, markers, and mirror wall ''really'' need a page? '''''Would this benefit readers?''''' Sure, I could ''theoretically'' make a page for my own world [https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_8b09cb1e-8628-4be1-81cc-0a3c6a747be0 Somewhere Here], I could talk about how my plans for it were to be a Spookality 2021 entry I never finished, the reasons why, the inspiration behind each room, the small little details behind everything. And all of that would absolutely be excellent information for an article. But... excuse my tone, why the ''hell'' would I do that? Why would I as a creator restrict myself to the wiki's style guide when... I could just as easily make a post about it on my Bsky, or Tumblr, or anywhere else where I have significantly more freedom? Then if I really wanted that to be on the wiki, I could easily just ask, "hey would someone like to make a page about this?" or in the case if already had one, just ask for the information to be added, using the post I made as a citation so people know it came from me.
::::::This feels like such a nothing-burger to argue for. ''in my opinion'', there is no real reason for a world creator to create a page for their own creation. Unless they're seeking to advertise it through the wiki. Or use it as trophy points to say: "Hey look my creation is on the ''official'' wiki!" Because every point I've seen in this thread so far against COI, hasn't been very convincing, or by those who have violated COI previously and would benefit from it's removal/reduction, which would ironically be a direct COI in itself if you want to be meta about this.

:::::::I will stick to the quoting style to avoid confusion.
::::::::::"however we don't want people to simply create pages willy-nilly for all their creations"
::::::::::"Not every world needs a page"
::::::::::"Would this benefit readers?"
:::::::I dont know if everyone thinks that, but I do agree with you here, not every world necessarily needs a page. There should be value added when making one. To make a page of mirror world #100 that has just used existing assets seems pointless. However as soon as something unique was added, that could be described and be informative for the reader.
::::::::::"Sure, I could theoretically make a page for my own world"
::::::::::"But... excuse my tone, why the hell would I do that?"
:::::::So that when someone visits your world and would like to read up more about it, they can do so and learn a bit more about its design decisions, technicals and such. How often have you been to a world, where you were wondering how something specific was done. Think "what shader did they use?" "what did they use to do this udon thing?" "how was it optimized even though it uses real time light". I did and I sometimes even ask the creator for such specifics, but it would be much better to have on the wiki (and/or somewhere in the world in the first place...)
:::::::And to continue:
::::::::::" I could just as easily make a post about it on my Bsky, or Tumblr, or anywhere else"
:::::::That is kind of how it is right now, all these small parts of information are scattered all over the web on different places. There is no place where you find proper consolidation of information regarding VRChat, its always a jungle of githubs, discords, twitters, videos, other websites and so on to go through to.
:::::::The Community: Namespace is also supposed to help consolidate all this information, which is why it is a bit more loose to begin with. And while I hope guides and such get ported over to the wiki, even having lists like [https://github.com/madjin/awesome-vrchat Jin's] would help in this endeavor. The Worlds and Avatars are just the cherry on top.
:::::::Regarding your point on someone having a COI in the COI discussion, then you could also argue that anyone who is for a strict COI and has a very popular world, has a COI too. Since they can utilize their community, just as you described, to make the page instead. While others cannot, which assuming the wiki is meant for advertising means they would have less worlds clogging up their "adspace". I know this paragraph is very much hyperbole, but just to counter that all is relative.
:::::::Where you see "no real reason for a world creator to create a page for their own creation" I see plenty. Of course all this is given, that the world/avatar creator actually wants to go through the process of making a proper page to begin with. We should just ensure, that they can in some form.

== Why was the COI Policy changed without a prior draft? ==

I understand we had plenty of discussion regarding the COI policy, however just now the policy was changed without a draft for it being discussed beforehand.

Given this is such a big policy change I question who agreed to this change. Because I do not agree, as you can read why on the other thread titled "The current COI policy is not very interpretable" here.

A voice meeting, that not every maintainer can participate in does not constitute to a consensus and this COI policy remains flawed for the Community Namespace.

{{#description2:This page will help you get started with VRChat. You’ll be up and running in a jiffy!}}
This page will help you '''get started''' with [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat|VRChat]]. You’ll be up and running in a jiffy!


Reading this page will easily explain:


* What [[Special:MyLanguage/Platforms|devices]] are necessary to run VRChat
* Where to install VRChat from
* What to expect during your first few minutes of using VRChat
* Bonus video guides to help with your first experience


If you are unfamiliar with any {{Community link|https://wiki.vrchat.com/wiki/Community:Terminology|Terminology}}, or subjects, feel free to click on any of the blue highlighted hyperlinks that lead to other pages of the VRChat Wiki.

== System requirements / recommendations == 

=== Standalone devices === 


VRChat runs on the following standalone headsets:


* Meta Quest 2
* Meta Quest 3(S)
* Meta Quest Pro
* Vive Focus Vision
* Vive XR Elite
* Pico 4
* Pico 4 Pro
* Pico 4 Ultra

=== Mobile phone === 


VRChat can be played on any Android 10+ device with at least 6GB of system RAM, and is connected to Wi-Fi or over 4G/5G cellular networks.


Any recent mid-range or higher Android device should meet these specifications.

=== Steam Deck === 


Valve's testing indicates that VRChat is Verified on Steam Deck. It is fully functional on Steam Deck, and works great with the built-in controls and display.


* All functionality is accessible when using the default controller configuration.
* VRChat shows Steam Deck controller icons.
* In-game interface text is legible on Steam Deck.
* VRChat's default graphics configuration performs well on Steam Deck.

=== PC === 

==== minimum ==== 


* '''CPU:''' Intel® i5-4570k or AMD FX 8350 or equivalent
* '''Memory:''' 4GB
* '''GPU:''' NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 970 or AMD Radeon™ R9 290 or equivalent
* '''Disk Space:''' 21.5GB of storage (~1.5GB for application, 20GB minimum cache size)
* '''Internet Connection:''' 25Mbps download speed
* '''OS:''' Windows 10, Windows 11


These are the absolute minimum requirements to run VRChat on desktop mode. Although the application will run, you may encounter performance issues. VRChat has lots of user-created content, some [[Special:MyLanguage/avatars|avatars]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/worlds|worlds]] may cause your performance to drop more than you might expect from a typical game! It is recommended adjusting [[Special:MyLanguage/Safety|Safety Settings]] for the most optimal experience.


One can download the [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1070910/Are_you_ready_for_Valve_Index/ Are you ready for Valve Index?] application to see if their device is compatible with running VRChat in VR mode.

==== recommended ==== 


* '''CPU:''' AMD 5800X3D or 7800X3D, or 12th Generation Intel® i5, or equivalent
* '''Memory:''' 32GB
* '''GPU:''' NVIDIA GeForce® RTX 3060 12GB or equivalent
* '''Disk Space:''' 21.5GB of storage (~1.5GB for application, 20GB minimum cache size)
* '''Internet Connection:''' 100Mbps download speed
* '''OS:''' Windows 10, Windows 11


For your CPU, you'd want to get a 7800X3D, as AMD swapped to a new socket (AM5) with this generation. The AMD X3D series of processors perform unusually well in VRChat and other games due to their very large onboard cache. As for the GPU, aiming for the graphics card with the most VRAM available is best.

[[File:LoginPage.webp|thumb|An image of the VRChat login screen]]


When you launch VRChat, you will be presented with a log in screen. You will have options on changing languages, reading [[Special:MyLanguage/Terms of Service|Terms of Service]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Privacy Policy|Privacy Policy]], and primarily signing in with a VRChat account, or create a device account via Steam, Meta, Google, Pico, or VIVE, depending on the device being used. To log in to a VRChat account, you must first [https://vrchat.com/home/register register] on VRChat's website. Creating a VRChat account will grant you access to the VRChat application, a web version of your VRChat profile, friend list, browse worlds, and generate [[Special:MyLanguage/impostors|impostors]].

Creating a device account via Steam, Meta, Google, Pico, or VIVE, will only grant instantaneous access to the VRChat application. It is also possible to [[Special:MyLanguage/Account Merging|merge accounts]] if you wish to generate a device account now, and later create a VRChat account. After merging your account, choosing to log into the device account will transfer your login to the VRChat account.

== Learning how to use VRChat == 


When you log into VRChat, you’ll start in a private Home world! Here, you can explore at your own pace to learn the [[Special:MyLanguage/controls|controls]], adjust [[Special:MyLanguage/settings|settings]], find your first avatar, and go to your next world! The default Home world is the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat Home|VRChat Home]], a welcoming place to begin your session. You can choose to go back to your private Home instance at any time by opening up the Quick Menu, and choosing the '''Go Home''' tile.


When meeting another user in VRChat, you can open up your [[Special:MyLanguage/Quick Menu|Quick Menu]], and learn more information about a user. To do this in VR, point the laser in your off-hand at them. A capsule will appear, and you click the trigger button to bring open a separate menu. On desktop, you can either click the '''Select User''' tile, or hold the Shift key and hover over the capsule. Use the left mouse button to open the new menu. On mobile, simply tap on the user to bring open the menu.


On any device, you can also open the Quick Menu, and click on the '''Here''' tab, which looks like a GPS pin. The Here tab will bring open a list of users in the same instance as you! From here, you can read their biography, request to add them as a friend, change their microphone volume, mute them, hide their avatar, [https://wiki.vrchat.com/wiki/Avatars#Cloning clone] their avatar if available, or block them.

[[File:VRCraft Default Playarea.jpg|thumb|Overview of a fresh play area from Spawn]]
'''VRCraft''' is a cross-platform [[Special:MyLanguage/:Category:Game_Worlds|game world]] created by Markcreator. It was published in 2020 and remains in development to this date. It aims to recreate Minecraft in [[VRChat]], allowing users to place and break blocks together with other people.

== Gameplay ==
The actual play area is located below the spawn and can be accessed by walking forward into the gold block.

As a playable recreation of Minecraft within VRChat, it retains the same control scheme that is found on Minecraft and its VR Mods. A notable difference is that only full Blocks are available and that entities such as torches are turned into transparent Full Blocks with a picture of the entity on each side.

In VR, blocks are placed with the trigger of the right controller, while breaking them uses the trigger on the left controller. An expansive selection of all Blocks can be found by moving the right thumbstick up or down, while on Desktop the same menu opens by pressing the E button. The play area is currently 128x128x24 blocks large and synced across all players. The current master may load a custom template or allow explosions from TNT to be destructive. These and more options can be found when turning around on spawn.

[[File:VRCraft Block Selection.jpg|thumb|A page of available blocks in the block menu]]
=== Controls ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Action !! VR Controls !! Desktop Controls !! Mobile Controls
|-
| Place block || Right trigger || Right click || Place button
|-
| Remove block || Left trigger || Left click || Break button
|-
| Open Inventory || Right thumbstick up/down || 'E' or 'I' || Blocks button
|-
| Copy block || Right or Left thumbstick click || Middle mouse click || none
|}

== World templates ==
[[File:VRCraft Template Browser.jpg|thumb|World Template Browser and options to save/load custom ones]]
VRCraft allows anyone to make a backup of the current play area, which is saved as a Base 64 encoded text string in the text field below. This same field can be used to paste a relevant text string to load in past play areas, by pressing load. It is advised to paste this large text string, by pressing the paste symbol of the VRChat keyboard instead of using CTRL+V. CTRL+V may cause several seconds of frame lag.

Additionally, a selection of Templates can be found in a Template browser next to the text field, these can be useful to launch a fresh world that deviates from the default play area.

=== Importing Minecraft worlds ===
A converter tool is available to convert existing Minecraft creations to a 128x128x24 template, that can be Imported to VRCraft. It can be found on the [https://github.com/Markcreator/minecraft2vrcraft World Creator's GitHub page]. It works by taking a snapshot of an area 64 blocks away in each cardinal direction, as well as 12 blocks going above and below. The corresponding text string is saved as a text file.

A tool to convert VRCraft play areas to Minecraft is not available.

{{Noticebox/Community}}[[File:Uploading a Custom World Thumbnail.png|thumb|Uploading a custom image as a Thumbnail is made easy through the SDK]]

The World Thumbnail is a picture representing [[Worlds]] ingame and on the website.A custom Thumbnail can be uploaded via the SDK during the world upload process. Its dimensions are 1200x900. Should none be selected, an image of the scene is taken from where the ShotCam is located during upload.
==World Thumbnail template==
To help create your own Thumbnail you may use the provided template to help align existing visuals. The image below covers guide lines representing the 4 different crops used. It is ready to be used with an existing thumbnail or as a base for making a new one. Simply set it as a layer above your visuals and remove it before uploading your world thumbnail.
[[File:World Thumbnail Template.png|none|thumb|600x600px|World Thumbnail template. .png with transparency]]

===Grey box===
The grey box is what users will see while loading into a world or on the website. As you see you can put something at the top and bottom, which is mostly seen loading in. An idea would be to put some more detailed update notes there or a thanks to whoever joined![[File:Grey_Box_Preview.png|border|frameless]]

===Red box===
The red box is how your image will look in the world menu. This is the most important crop to get right in order to get people to click on your world. On the top right of this box there is an overlay indicating on which platforms your world is available at, it is see through.[[File:Red_Box_Preview.png|border|frameless]]
[[File:Red_Box_Preview-selected.png|frameless|536x536px]]

=== Green box ===
The green box is what a user sees when hovering over a world and it zooms in a little bit. Important here is, that the PC/Quest platform indicator is nearly opaque when hovered over. It may be wise to ensure nothing is hidden or cut off on the top right.[[File:Green Box Preview.png|border|frameless]]

=== Blue and Lightblue circles ===
The blue and lightblue circles indicate what can be expected to be seen as a picture inside a dropped [[Portals|portal]]. The smaller of those 2 circles indicates what is always in view, when looking straight towards it. The bigger lightblue circle indicates where the actual cutoff happens, which is what is seen looking at the portal close up or at an angle. Be aware the image is squished by about 33% horizontally before displayed in the portal.

Once you have everything lined up, you can delete this template layer. The template above already fits the right dimensions of 1200x900.

'''Hokyl''' '''Night''', is a large city driving and flying world developed by the team of Hdorriker, Dekawolf & Fraxul which features a large, open-world city with player-drivable vehicles and flight items attached to the player that enable the player to explore the city from a variety of perspectives.
The world is roughly 121 square kilometers in area or 11 km per side large. It has a variety of different 'districts' whose names appear at the bottom of a player's field of view as they traverse the city.
==Features==
===Flight Systems===
Hokyl Night uses heavily-modified versions of the TORISOUP Grapnel-Gun and Glider. These have been modified to have improved access (reach over shoulder to grab), to conserve player momentum and allow for simultaneous use of both items aiming to smooth out the flight experience and improve motion comfort.
===Ultra Spark and Custom Avatar Size Audio===
At spawn, a small device resembling a "vape pen" can be used by any player to grow to 50m tall. Those that use this device are still able to hear other players and are also able to converse within a more intuitive and natural-feeling range than would otherwise be available.
===Custom Driving System===
Hokyl Night (and Hokyl Morning) uses a custom driving system that was specifically devised for the unique performance challenges presented by having a large, detailed open world city built with Unity for VRChat. Because of the exploratory nature of the world, this system was developed specifically for '''Cruising''' and '''Social Road Trip-Style Driving''' ''instead of'' high-performance racing which would have required a different balance of how computational resources are utilized.
====Usage====
A card displaying the input scheme based on the detected controllers (or desktop controls) displays on entry of the vehicle and will disappear shortly after set in motion. There is also a slowly-blinking info toggle on the dash which will enable or disable this info card.

After entering and starting the vehicle, simply pressing forward (or W on desktop) for a few seconds will auto-shift the vehicle into DRIVE gear. If it doesn't automatically shift after 5 seconds, this is because the command to shift into Drive was sent before the vehicle finished starting and it cannot receive it until ownership settles.

The shifter is indicated by a button reading "PRND".

There is no manual transmission option.
===Shader===
Hokyl Night uses a modified version of the CScape Building Shader, updated for Unity 2022 and modified to include an MSAA pass. A more stylized CScape Mobile version without windows or parallax is used on the Android-Compatible builds of the Hokyl Night spin-off worlds (such as Digitown Loft and Gao Avenue) for performance considerations.
===Driving System features===
The Driving System features such as "JUMP" and "ROLL" were added initially as ways to recover stuck vehicles and play with the quirks of the simulation. But in practice, these have become tools that enable unique driving challenges such as attempting to park vehicles atop skyscrapers, power line poles, or any of the likely hundreds of tall objects around the city.
==Setting==
The fictitious location in "Hokyl Night" is Hokyldaryon.
Hokyldaryon (pronounced: hok-ul dare-on) is a city on the planet Tellis. It is a major city with a population of 1.3 million and serves as the cultural and financial center of the Kuho Tajirate of the country of Miokalia.
=== Etymology ===
Hokyldaryon comes from the Hcoh words "Hokyl" (meaning 'Bountiful') and "Daryon" (meaning "Noisy body of water"). The name of the city is notable for being lexigraphically ambiguous between translating as "Plenty of Noisy Water" or "An Abundance of Auditory Hallucinations", given the contemporary meaning of the latter portion.
=== Population ===
Hokyldaryon has historically been populated mostly by Raptors, much like the rest of the Kuho region. There has also been a significant synthetic population for nearly as long as that has been a thing. Modern Hokyldaryon is generally considered to be a cosmopolitan place with considerable diversity of species and biochemistry.
=== History ===
Hokyldaryon was founded in 3150 by horny Kuho anglers who apparently thought the steep canyon walls on each side of the Plumas River looked like "A Big Butt". Nobody knows why they thought this, because it doesn't really, but the sea can do things to people, especially back then before the invention of fun. 
Back then, the areas now known as Bocuma and Zansa Island were an unorganized collection of seasonal fishing villages, primarily inhabited by what the bougie people in the fancy Kuho capitol of Hneida refered to as "those".

In general, the area was considered undesirable because of its proximity to sea level and the complexity of Tellisian Bi-Lunar Tides making the river delta susceptible to miscalculations of where the high tide really was, since it could be a whole decade between maximum high tides and with the nomadic lifestyles of Kuho anglers in the 3100's, it was unlikely that anyone would stick around long enough to actually record or closely analyze the cycles of the watershed, since they generally lived on their boats and usually just paddled to deeper water if things started getting shallow. Most of the infrastructure on land consisted of temporary timber structures and constantly shifting pontoons built from, you guessed it, the bones of the fallen. Also wood. It was mostly wood.

It was in this miasma of bored velociraptor fisherpersons and their barking of bawdy crawfish-pickling shanties that a scheme was hatched between the most powerful of the local cartels to sell randomly flood-prone land to the fancy people in the bougie capitol, since they wouldn't know any better since there was no internet in the 3100's on Tellis. The plan required inventing a curious sounding name and sending somebody to regale the bougie Capitolcritters with tales of splendor and mystery to entice them to make the 100 km trek into what was generally considered to be their own backyard. This plan failed immediately because one of those silly old-timey wars suddenly broke out because one King was like "Uhh, your son like miscarried our dynasty's heir or something" and another was like "no u", and then thousands died. 
The war brought naval combat to the Plumas river delta because some general thought it was a shortcut while the other knew it wasn't. They could have sworn that the river "went all the way through the peninsula like on the map" even though it ''didn't'', so the put on their polyester, busted a move and started firing canons in the general vicinity of each other across the river until one of them actually managed to hit the other general directly in the chest, sending them flying, cartoon-style through the back of their old-timey sail ship and directly into a volcano, which then promptly exploded.

This explosion woke up the ancient Tellisian deity of copper, Suzanne and she was rather stroppy about this wild and groovy river combat going on and so she punished the belligerents by forcing them to live near the river, make a town and name it. But they really didn't want to because they all really just wanted to go home, and since Suzanne, the ancient and revered Tellisian goddess of all things ''cupric'' was actually really chill, she was like "ok fine, you don't have to live here, but you still have to name it. Also, while you're at it, y'all should use my bountiful metallic gifts to invent electronics and eventually evolve into cool undead robot animal people and take command of your existence in such a manner that it prevents you from getting conquered by something else out there in space which is more banal and/or mundane.
Food for thought." 
The General (the one that wasn't shot), was like "Ok lol wow... I just experienced a very long, and detailed auditory hallucination apparently..." 
and then after swilling something which probably caused it, he continued 
"Yes, what a Bountiful Auditory Hallucination!" 
"A ''Hokyl(Bountiful) Daryon(Auditory Hallucination)''" 
And with that the volcano entirely vanished, which is why there isn't one nearby, and the place would from then-on be known as Hokyldaryon. 
In conclusion, please give me high marks on this assignment, Ms. Scrunge, I don't want to fail this history class for the 3rd time. K thx bye.
=== Culture & Language ===
Nearly all of Hokyldaryon speaks Hcoh (pronounced "koh" with a hard "k"), which is reflected in the prevalence of Hcoh text (Hclis) on signage visible throughout the city. Road and other signage also includes other languages due to tourism and accessibility. At least one district of town conspicuously features text in other languages, including Digicode around The Mountain facility on Zansa Island.
=== Media ===
Hokyldaryon has a major TV station and studio facility for StudioV, using the callsign NIDO, on VHF channel 5
=== Sister Cities ===
Hokyldaryon has a Sister City partnership with Sanctuary on planet Terra in the Widow System.
Hokyldaryon sent Sanctuary a 4.7m cube of Floamtm, (which has yet to be unpacked), and Sanctuary sent a 24-hour Dry Cleaners (literally, just the whole store building), which on Tellis is closed for 12 hours a day.

It was in this miasma of bored velociraptor fisherpersons and their barking of bawdy crawfish-pickling shanties that a scheme was hatched between the most powerful of the local cartels to sell randomly flood-prone land to the fancy people in the bougie capitol, since they wouldn't know any better since there was no internet in the 3100's on Tellis. The plan required inventing a curious sounding name and sending somebody to regale the bougie Capitolcritters with tales of splendor and mystery to entice them to make the 100 km trek into what was generally considered to be their own backyard. This plan failed immediately because one of those silly old-timey wars suddenly broke out because one King was like "Uhh, your son like miscarried our dynasty's heir or something" and another was like "no u", and then thousands died. 
The war brought naval combat to the Plumas river delta because some general thought it was a shortcut while the other knew it wasn't. They could have sworn that the river "went all the way through the peninsula like on the map" even though it ''didn't'', so the put on their polyester, busted a move and started firing canons in the general vicinity of each other across the river until one of them actually managed to hit the other general directly in the chest, sending them flying, cartoon-style through the back of their old-timey sail ship and directly into a volcano, which then promptly exploded.

This explosion woke up the ancient Tellisian deity of copper, Suzanne and she was rather stroppy about this wild and groovy river combat going on and so she punished the belligerents by forcing them to live near the river, make a town and name it. But they really didn't want to because they all really just wanted to go home, and since Suzanne, the ancient and revered Tellisian goddess of all things ''cupric'' was actually really chill, she was like "ok fine, you don't have to live here, but you still have to name it. Also, while you're at it, y'all should use my bountiful metallic gifts to invent electronics and eventually evolve into cool undead robot animal people and take command of your existence in such a manner that it prevents you from getting conquered by something else out there in space which is more banal and/or mundane.
Food for thought." 
The General (the one that wasn't shot), was like "Ok lol wow... I just experienced a very long, and detailed auditory hallucination apparently..." 
and then after swilling something which probably caused it, he continued 
"Yes, what a Bountiful Auditory Hallucination!" 
"A ''Hokyl(Bountiful) Daryon(Auditory Hallucination)''" 
And with that the volcano entirely vanished, which is why there isn't one nearby, and the place would from then-on be known as Hokyldaryon. 
In conclusion, please give me high marks on this assignment, Ms. Scrunge, I don't want to fail this history class for the 3rd time. K thx bye.
=== Culture & Language ===
Nearly all of Hokyldaryon speaks Hcoh (pronounced "koh" with a hard "k"), which is reflected in the prevalence of Hcoh text (Hclis) on signage visible throughout the city. Road and other signage also includes other languages due to tourism and accessibility. At least one district of town conspicuously features text in other languages, including Digicode around The Mountain facility on Zansa Island.
=== Media ===
Hokyldaryon has a major TV station and studio facility for StudioV, using the callsign NIDO, on VHF channel 5
=== Sister Cities ===
Hokyldaryon has a Sister City partnership with Sanctuary on planet Terra in the Widow System.
Hokyldaryon sent Sanctuary a 4.7m cube of Floamtm, (which has yet to be unpacked), and Sanctuary sent a 24-hour Dry Cleaners (literally, just the whole store building), which on Tellis is closed for 12 hours a day.

{{Noticebox/Official}}
'''Worlds''' are the virtual spaces inhabited by users on [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat|VRChat]]. They are the locations wherein users can interact with each other, the environment, and other features and mechanics. Worlds are created by members of the community, and uploaded as either public or private using the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat SDK|VRChat SDK]], intended for others to join. Worlds are must be uploaded for each [[Special:MyLanguage/Platforms|platform]] to be compatible for users of that platform to join.

There's a variety of world types covering topics ranging from social hangouts, games, avatar showcases, scenic views, and more. Each world can have multiple sessions running at the same time referred to as [[Special:MyLanguage/instances|instances]], which have a global region they're linked to, a maximum user capacity set by the world author, and an instance type that controls who can join and moderate the world instance.
==Finding and joining worlds==
When you launch VRChat, you will begin in your '''Home''' world, which is an Invite-only instance in the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat Home|VRChat Home]] by default. Your Home world and instance type for your Home world can be changed at any time. One can also choose to log into the VRChat website or use the main page of VRChat on Mobile to browse worlds, and launch VRChat.
===Using the menu===
When opening the [[Special:MyLanguage/Quick Menu|Quick Menu]], there are a few different routes you can take to join a new world.
==="Worlds" Quick Link / tab===
Using the Quick Links tile for '''Worlds''' will take you to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|main]] page, displaying VRCat's Variety Box, which features a random selection from various different world categories. On the left, you can select a specific world category such as "Trending", "Avatar Worlds - Trending", "Games - Active", "New & Noteworthy", etc. This can be useful for quickly finding popular worlds in different categories. Clicking on a world tile here will take you to the detailed menu page for that world, giving you options to select an existing instance to join or to create a new one, and to either join directly or drop a world portal. Each world is represented with a [[Special:MyLanguage/Community:World Thumbnail|thumbnail]], giving insight into its contents.

When anywhere on the main menu, you can also get to this page by using the World tab at the bottom.
===Search===
From the Worlds page, you can use the "Search" feature to search for a specific world by title, description, tag, author, etc. These can also be sorted by Relevance, Last Updated, and Popular.

When anywhere on the main menu, you can also get to this page by using the Search tab at the bottom.
==Portals==
{{Main|Portals}}
Portals provide a quick way for users to access a specific world and instance without having to individually find it through the menu. The portal effect will display the world image inside of itself, and it will usually have the title above alongside other details such as user capacity and region. By default walking into the portal will transfer you to the associated world, but settings can be changed so that it requires user confirmation to prevent accidentally using them. Portals come in two varieties:
===Static portals===
Worlds themselves often have portals that they feature to serve as a link to other worlds. These are part of the world, and as such usually stay there permanently, ready for people to interact with.
===User placed portals===
Users can place portals to a world instance using the menu. These appear the same as static portals, except they can be placed by the user anywhere in the world that is convenient and that the world allows (they can't be placed on users or on a spawn area), and they feature a countdown timer above them. Once the timer expires, the portal disappears.
==Instance types==
{{Main|Instance}}

There are many public and private environments of all genres that the user can explore. You may also create and join various community groups to meet other users with mutual interests. Users can choose to join a public instance, create a private instance to be alone, or invite friends after adding them. The type of privacy of created instances is up to the user, and follows under these various tiers:

*'''Public''' - Anyone can join.
* '''Friends+''' - Your friends, their friends, and so on can join.
* '''Friends''' - Only your friends may join; friends of friends are excluded.
* '''Invite+''' - Users and friends of users must request to join your instance unless you or an invited user's social status is set to "Join Me".
*'''Invite''' - Users must send a join request to join you unless your social status is set to "Join Me"; friends of friends are excluded.
*'''Group''' - An instance that only members of a group, or specific roles within that group can access.
*'''Group+''' - An instance hosted by a group, in which friends of group members, friends of their friends, and so on, can join. Group+ instances may have appointed group moderators to manage an instance. Being a member of the hosting group is not required to join the instance.
*'''Group Public''' - A publicly listed instance, hosted by a group, to which anyone can join. Group Public instances may have appointed group moderators to manage an instance.

===Regions===
Whilst selecting an instance type, there are choices for varying regions to better optimize their experience. Choosing an instance closest to your location will see a decrease in [[Special:MyLanguage/:Community:Terminology#Ping|ping]], and ensure a more stable connection to the instance, preventing disconnections and lag.

Historically, VRChat ran solely on the U.S. West server. On June 16, 2021, two extra regions - '''Europe, and Japan''' were added to the platform in the {{VRC link|https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202124|Regions update}}<ref>https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202124</ref> to distribute server load and offset increasing user count. On December 1, 2021, VRChat added the '''U.S. East'''<ref>https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202142</ref> region, and renamed the current USA server to ''''U.S. West'''<nowiki/>'. Users are also encouraged to check VRChat's {{VRC link|https://status.vrchat.com|server status}} website or their [https://x.com/VRChat_Status VRChat Status account] on social media for outages, or upon discovering issues when connecting to VRChat.

The World Thumbnail is a picture representing [[Worlds]] ingame and on the website.A custom Thumbnail can be uploaded via the SDK during the world upload process. Its dimensions are 1200x900. Should none be selected, an image of the scene is taken from where the ShotCam is located during upload.
[[File:Uploading a Custom World Thumbnail.png|none|thumb|Uploading a custom image as a Thumbnail is made easy through the SDK]]

==World Thumbnail template==
To help create your own Thumbnail you may use the provided template to help align existing visuals. The image below covers guide lines representing the 4 different crops used. It is ready to be used with an existing thumbnail or as a base for making a new one. Simply set it as a layer above your visuals and remove it before uploading your world thumbnail.
[[File:World Thumbnail Template.png|none|thumb|600x600px|World Thumbnail template. .png with transparency]]

===Grey box===
The grey box is what users will see while loading into a world or on the website. As you see you can put something at the top and bottom, which is mostly seen loading in. An idea would be to put some more detailed update notes there or a thanks to whoever joined![[File:Grey_Box_Preview.png|border|frameless]]

===Red box===
The red box is how your image will look in the world menu. This is the most important crop to get right in order to get people to click on your world. On the top right of this box there is an overlay indicating on which platforms your world is available at, it is see through.[[File:Red_Box_Preview.png|border|frameless]]
[[File:Red_Box_Preview-selected.png|frameless|536x536px]]

=== Green box ===
The green box is what a user sees when hovering over a world and it zooms in a little bit. Important here is, that the PC/Quest platform indicator is nearly opaque when hovered over. It may be wise to ensure nothing is hidden or cut off on the top right.[[File:Green Box Preview.png|border|frameless]]

=== Blue and Lightblue circles ===
The blue and lightblue circles indicate what can be expected to be seen as a picture inside a dropped [[Portals|portal]]. The smaller of those 2 circles indicates what is always in view, when looking straight towards it. The bigger lightblue circle indicates where the actual cutoff happens, which is what is seen looking at the portal close up or at an angle. Be aware the image is squished by about 33% horizontally before displayed in the portal.
[[File:Blue Circle Preview.webp|border|frameless]]
Once you have everything lined up, you can delete this template layer. The template above already fits the right dimensions of 1200x900.

:I included the reason for the notability as part of the first base's description. Being a furry myself and seeing the prevalence of avatars with this species first-hand, I believe it deserves its own page. In addition, I also added a note about one of the bases being used by a major electronics manufacturer in one of their commercials, giving the species widespread attention even outside the VRC community.

**Rexouium**, meaning ''king care taker'', is an open species created by [[Rezillo Ryker]].

==Traits==

The species' defining traits are:

* their height (up to 7 feet, or just over 213 centimeters tall)
* strong legs
* long, pointed ears
* mane-like feathers along the top of the head and the back of the neck
* tufts of feathers on the limb joints (elbows, wrists, knees)

==Avatar Bases==

Being an open species, multiple creators have released [[Avatar Base|avatar bases]] featuring their signature look.

These bases include full facial visemes, have full support for [[Full-body tracking|full-body tracking]] and VRChat's native [[Eye tracking|eye tracking]] out-of-the-box, while some also have support for [[Face-tracking|face-tracking]] and [[MMD]] visemes (either built-in or as community add-ons). The bases also typically come with both Desktop and Android platform support, with different versions optimized to meet each platforms mandatory limits.

===Rexouium Avatar by Rezillo Ryker===

The original base made by the species' creator is commonly considered to be the "default avatar" of [[Furry culture in VRChat|furries on VRChat]]. Due to its generally canine (dog-like) facial structure and customizability the avatar can be made to fit many of the most common animal species used by furries and their characters. As a result, it is among the most widely-used models with a large number of compatible accessories made by the rest of the community. The model also contains a lot of customization blendshapes, and includes the ability to switch between digitigrade and plantigrade leg styles in-game in its newer versions.

This base is primarily distributed via [https://rezilloryker.gumroad.com/l/MYutV Gumroad]. The model also comes with a separate, albeit more pricy, license option for commercial use.

===Rexouium Evolved by Tosca===

This base was created by [[Tosca]], who is among the earliest furry avatar creators to include both digitigrade and plantigrade leg styles in their avatars, including this one. Due to VRChat's lack of support for Unity bone constrains on the Android (formerly referred to as Quest) platform, the digitigrade rig version of the avatar is only usable on the desktop (PC) platform.

This base is also primarily distributed via [https://xtosca.gumroad.com/l/ToscaRex Gumroad].

The base saw a later re-release titled '''EvoRex HD''' with the main new feature being split [[UV map|UVs]] that allow for the use of larger resolution textures on certain parts of the avatar. This is also being sold on [https://xtosca.gumroad.com/l/EvoRexHD Gumroad], and was provided to the owners of the previous model version for free.

There are no specific restrictions on this base for commercial use, beyond the requirement that model files must not be redistributed by buyers.

===Rezuium by Hirozu===

This base, created by [[Hirozu]] provides an alternative to the previous ones with a different style and built-in face tracking. This one is also available on [https://hirozu.gumroad.com/l/Rezuium Gumroad], where, in additional to the base itself, a separate clothing accessory package is also available.

Commercial use (specifically re-sale of the model itslef) is prohibited, but it can be used as part of other content as long as the fact that the model is not included with the pruchase is clearly indicated.

VRCWiki:Notability

Usr 6909a532-22e9-49f7-81e3-e964fe7dc00a: cont.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability Notability] is the concept of how to determine what kinds of content is worth including in the wiki. While there are already rule governing the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRCWiki:Guidelines#Type_of_permitted_content|types of content permitted]] on this wiki as a whole, notability guidelines apply within those categories to govern specific pages and their inclusion.

Notability on the VRChat Wiki determines whether a subject merits its own article. Notability is a key principle to ensure that the content on the VRChat Wiki remains verifiable, relevant, and significant within the VRChat community.

This is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page. Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article. These guidelines only outline how suitable a topic is for its own article or list. They do not limit the content of an article or list

== Notability Criteria for Worlds ==
A VRChat World is considered notable enough to warrant an article in the Main namespace if it meets one of the following criteria:

* Official VRChat worlds.
* Worlds featured by VRChat (Spotlight and special event categories such as VKet and Jams).

A VRChat world is considered notable enough to warrant an article in the Community Namespace if it meets one of the following criteria:

* World that have had notable independent external coverage by reliable sources, such as [[Special:MyLanguage/Community:Treehouse in the Shade|Treehouse in the Shade]].
* Worlds that meet all of the following criteria:
** Worlds that have made it out of Community Labs AND
** have at least 10,000 visits or 1,000 favorites.

=== Exclusions ===
The following types of worlds are not allowed on the VRChat Wiki, even if they meet the above criteria:

* Worlds which violate VRChat's Terms of Service
* Worlds tagged with any of the following Content Warning Labels:
** Sexually Suggestive.
** Adult language and themes.

==Notability Criteria for Avatars==

Avatar pages should only be created for the following types of avatars:
* Official VRChat avatars
* Avatars part of the [[Public Avatars|Public Avatar Row]]
* Avatars otherwise featured by VRChat
* Notable Avatars made by the Community

For a newly created Avatar page it should be obvious or made obvious that such Avatar or Avatar Type is notable enough. Therefore it is advised to create a [[VRCWiki:How to Contribute#Discussion Page|Discussion page]] right after a new Avatar page has been created with a note as for why the page was made. This helps to evaluate notability. Pages where this cannot be easily ascertained with may be deleted.

== General Notability Guidelines ==
For other types of content and subjects, the following guidelines apply to determine notability:

* A subject should have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
* The coverage should be more than trivial or incidental. It should provide meaningful insight into the subject.
* Content should be verifiable and should maintain a [[Special:MyLanguage/VRCWiki:Neutral point of view|Neutral point of view]] (NPOV).

== Content Quality ==
All content must be verifiable if possible and contributors should use common sense. Avoid advertising and use neutral language. The goal is to inform, not to promote.

By adhering to these guidelines, we ensure that the VRChat Wiki remains a reliable and valuable resource for the VRChat community.

== Our welcome! ==
Welcome to the VRChat Wiki, and we're glad you're interested in helping with our knowledge base.

Here, we cover things like:

* How do I use VRChat?
* What are the VRChat controls?
* How do I do X in VRChat?
* How do I get started creating Worlds or Avatars in VRChat?

Not everything is about worlds and avatars! We also allow community contributions in the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRCWiki:Community Hub|Community Hub]]! There, you can find guides and information of all kinds. Head over to the Hub to get exploring! If you are a creator or interested in using VRChat's Creator Companion or SDK, you may also be interested in our {{VRC link|https://creators.vrchat.com/|Creator Documentation}}. That webpage covers the technical documentation for creating content in VRChat.

== Contributing to the Wiki ==
If you log in with a VRChat account, you can contribute to this Wiki as long as your account is in good standing! Please make sure you read our [[Special:MyLanguage/VRCWiki:Guidelines|Guidelines]] first and understand what it means to write from a [[Special:MyLanguage/VRCWiki:Neutral_point_of_view|neutral point of view]]. If you intend on creating or editing an article about your own content, or on the behalf of a company or organization, it is required to read over the VRCWiki's [[Special:MyLanguage/VRCWiki:Conflicts of interest|Conflicts of Interest policy]] before publishing.

== Namespaces ==
While MediaWiki doesn't use namespaces as part of its infrastructure, some places on the VRChat Wiki may have them, and you should be on the lookout for these when creating articles!

* '''VRChat''' - No Prefix - Official VRChat Wiki pages. Only members on the VRChat Wiki Team can make changes to these pages directly. Changes made by other Editors will be sent to a moderation queue and will appear after being reviewed. They’re primarily content pages, and guides about VRChat itself - topics include 'how to get started', user manuals, and references to reliable and up-to-date user guides. This also covers official applications and software, such as VRChat Creator Companion, and the VRChat SDK.

* '''Community''' - Prefix: <code>Community:</code> - The community namespace. Pages here should be focused on community pages, hubs, and creations. Check out the Community Hub for more information! This also covers community applications and software, such as Unity, Blender, and prefabs. Everyone can edit these pages directly. [[Special:MyLanguage/:Category:Worlds|World pages]], [[Special:MyLanguage/:Category:Avatars|Avatar pages]], [[Special:MyLanguage/:Category:Guides|Guides]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/:Category:Resources|Resources]] belong here.

* '''Category''' - Prefix: <code>Category:</code> - These namespaces are for classifications and arranging ambiguations into organized lists, such as <nowiki>''Category:Community Content''</nowiki>

* '''VRCWiki''' - Prefix: <code>VRCWiki:</code> - Namespace for pages in relation to the VRChat Wiki.

* '''Special''' - Prefix: <code>Special:</code> - Namespace for special pages.

== Creating a new page ==
To create a new page, ensure you are logged in and [https://wiki.vrchat.com/index.php?search= search] for what you would like to have as a Title of that page. Should a page with that title not exist yet, an option appears to create it.<blockquote>Create the page "Your Search Query" on this wiki!</blockquote>
Clicking this red link will direct you to creating a new page.

Please note that to create pages in the Community namespace requires to have <code>Community:</code> as a prefix of the page title. For Example: <code>Community:World Name</code>. Read more about when to use which Namespace [[Special:MyLanguage/VRCWiki:How_to_Contribute#Namespaces|above]].

== Uploading images ==
When uploading images to the VRChat Wiki, you can go to the [[Special:Upload|Upload file]] page to do so. These images can be then embedded to any article that you edit. Please be sure to give a brief description or caption of the image in "Summary", but more importantly, please select the proper Licensing! While the supported file types include "png, gif, jpg, jpeg," and "webp", it is commonly best practice to upload still images using the .webp format, since it retains quality while being very optimized, compared to the .png format which takes lots of space. Keep in mind that the maximum file size to upload to the Wiki is only 20 megabytes per image, so please try converting your pictures to .webp format.

== Do not write articles about yourself or other users ==
VRChat Wiki is a knowledgebase to write about VRChat content such as features, prefabs, and worlds. This Wiki is not a place to post personal information about yourself, or other users. Feel free to create and add onto your personal User: page, or interact with another editor using the Talk/Discussion page on another User: page.

==VRChat has Content Gating==
VRChat is a platform for users 13 and over, per the {{VRC link|https://hello.vrchat.com/legal | Terms of Service}}. So is this Wiki! Please refrain from referencing explicit adult or violent content. Be considerate on what you are writing about.

==Discussion Page==
[[File:DiscussionPageHighlighted.webp|thumb|A link to the Discussion Tab is present on the top left of every page.]]
Each page also has a discussion page, which is used to talk about contents of a page.
Please make a New Header for each subject with a Title and with what you would like to discuss.
When you finish writing a post, add <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> right after it . This will automatically add your username and timestamp at the end of a paragraph.

Example: 
<code>==New Discussion Topic==</code> 
<code>Text discussing something. --Another User (talk) 00:00, 22 June 2024 (UTC)</code> 
<code>: your reply to the Discussion Topic. <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>

Changes made by other Editors will be sent to a moderation queue and will appear after being reviewed. They’re primarily content pages, and guides about VRChat itself - topics include 'how to get started', user manuals, and references to reliable and up-to-date user guides. This also covers official applications and software, such as VRChat Creator Companion, and the VRChat SDK.

* '''Community''' - Prefix: <code>Community:</code> - The community namespace. Pages here should be focused on community pages, hubs, and creations. Check out the Community Hub for more information! This also covers community applications and software, such as Unity, Blender, and prefabs. Everyone can edit these pages directly. [[Special:MyLanguage/:Category:Worlds|World pages]], [[Special:MyLanguage/:Category:Avatars|Avatar pages]], [[Special:MyLanguage/:Category:Guides|Guides]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/:Category:Resources|Resources]] belong here.

* '''Category''' - Prefix: <code>Category:</code> - These namespaces are for classifications and arranging ambiguations into organized lists, such as <nowiki>''Category:Community Content''</nowiki>

* '''VRCWiki''' - Prefix: <code>VRCWiki:</code> - Namespace for pages in relation to the VRChat Wiki.

* '''Special''' - Prefix: <code>Special:</code> - Namespace for special pages.

== Creating a new page ==
To create a new page, ensure you are logged in and [https://wiki.vrchat.com/index.php?search= search] for what you would like to have as a Title of that page. Should a page with that title not exist yet, an option appears to create it.<blockquote>Create the page "Your Search Query" on this wiki!</blockquote>
Clicking this red link will direct you to creating a new page.

Please note that to create pages in the Community namespace requires to have <code>Community:</code> as a prefix of the page title. For Example: <code>Community:World Name</code>. Read more about when to use which Namespace [[Special:MyLanguage/VRCWiki:How_to_Contribute#Namespaces|above]].

== Uploading images ==
When uploading images to the VRChat Wiki, you can go to the [[Special:Upload|Upload file]] page to do so. These images can be then embedded to any article that you edit. Please be sure to give a brief description or caption of the image in "Summary", but more importantly, please select the proper Licensing! While the supported file types include "png, gif, jpg, jpeg," and "webp", it is commonly best practice to upload still images using the .webp format, since it retains quality while being very optimized, compared to the .png format which takes lots of space. Keep in mind that the maximum file size to upload to the Wiki is only 20 megabytes per image, so please try converting your pictures to .webp format.

== Do not write articles about yourself or other users ==
VRChat Wiki is a knowledgebase to write about VRChat content such as features, prefabs, and worlds. This Wiki is not a place to post personal information about yourself, or other users. Feel free to create and add onto your personal User: page, or interact with another editor using the Talk/Discussion page on another User: page.

==VRChat has Content Gating==
VRChat is a platform for users 13 and over, per the {{VRC link|https://hello.vrchat.com/legal | Terms of Service}}. So is this Wiki! Please refrain from referencing explicit adult or violent content. Be considerate on what you are writing about.

==Discussion Page==
[[File:DiscussionPageHighlighted.webp|thumb|A link to the Discussion Tab is present on the top left of every page.]]
Each page has a discussion page which is used to talk about contents of a page.
Please make a New Header for each subject with a Title and with what you would like to discuss.
When you finish writing a post, add <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> right after it . This will automatically add your username and timestamp at the end of a paragraph.

Example: 
<code>==New Discussion Topic==</code> 
<code>Text discussing something. --Another User (talk) 00:00, 22 June 2024 (UTC)</code> 
<code>: your reply to the Discussion Topic. <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>

This category contains specific pages for various [[Avatars]]. It is not a comprehensive list.

Avatar pages should only be created for the following types of avatars:
* Official VRChat avatars
* Avatars part of the [[Public Avatars|Public Avatar Row]]
* Avatars otherwise featured by VRChat
* Notable Avatars made by the Community

For a newly created Avatar page it should be obvious or made obvious that such Avatar or Avatar Type is notable enough. Therefore it is advised to create a [[VRCWiki:How to Contribute#Discussion Tab|Discussion page]] right after a new Avatar page has been created with a note as for why the page was made. This helps to evaluate notability. Pages where this cannot be easily ascertained with may be deleted.

* Avatar Bases should have their own page and should include the [[Template:Infobox/AvatarType/doc|avatar type template infobox]]
** Avatars that are derivatives of an existing Avatar Base, should be listed as a Variant on the page for that Avatar Base.
* Fully original Avatars should have their own page and should include the [[Template:Infobox/Avatar/doc|avatar template infobox]]
