VRChat Wiki Rules and Guidelines
Welcome to the official knowledgebase for VRChat! Publishing content is subject to the Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, in addition to VRChat’s other policies and the Wiki. VRChat’s Wiki is overseen by a group of volunteer maintainers and organizers appointed by VRChat, Inc.
Follow these rules and guidelines to keep the Wiki scholarly, professional, and reader-friendly. Keep them in mind when contributing to an article or page.
Type of permitted content
All edits should follow a neutral point of view (NPOV) and adhere to the Manual of Style (MOS). If you are directly involved in creating, developing, or managing (primary source) the content of an article, you are prohibited from editing it. For more information, see VRChat Wiki’s Conflict of Interest (COI) policy.
VRChat is a platform for users aged thirteen and older. All content must be age-appropriate. Refrain from inappropriate or sexually suggestive language.
The following types of content are permitted on this Wiki:
Official pages
Official pages are curated by the VRChat Wiki team and contain information about official VRChat worlds, features, and other topics provided by the base platform. Users can suggest edits, but a Maintainer must approve them after publishing. Any user can freely start or discuss topics on the article’s "Talk" page.
These official pages will contain a noticebox at the top, like:
Official VRChat articles include information and citations, such as:
- Patch notes
- Feature documentation
- "User manual" information (controls, system requirements, UI, and menu layout)
Information on official pages is as accurate as possible at the time of the last edit. It may become outdated, so suggest an edit if it's incorrect or missing.
Community pages
Community pages can be created and edited by any user. These articles summarize VRChat community content. You can start by searching for a community article in the Search Bar with Community: followed by a subject. If it doesn't exist yet, you can create it!
Community articles have a noticebox at the top, like:
Add this noticebox by typing: {{Noticebox/Community}}.
Guides
Guides are informative articles that help users learn about a subject or perform a task step by step. Guides are Community pages that include [[Category:Guide]] in the source code.
Files
Files are images that can be added to a page to enhance an article visually. Any user can upload files at Special:Upload. The VRChat Wiki team must approve images before they are added. It is generally best practice to upload images in .webp format.
Try to remove usernames or groups from images when possible. Do not include any sensitive, inappropriate, or sexually suggestive content.
Verification
Information on VRChat Wiki should be accurate and avoid misleading readers. Cite any external information, or use Wikipedia links to direct readers to relevant information.
When relevant, link to the 
VRChat Creator Documentation or to Unity Documentation.
Information about upcoming features or functionality should not be documented if it is based on rumors or speculation. If a feature or function has been documented officially by VRChat (for example, on a developer update), cite it as a source.
Discussion pages
Discussion pages, also called "talk pages", are available in the Discussion section of an article. Include a heading for the topic, followed by your content. End your post with four tildes: ~~~~
These four tildes sign your post like: -Your name (talk) HH:MM, DD Month Year (UTC)
Personal conduct, and disputes
Back-and-forth edits and reversions may result from disagreements over changes, leading to repeated reversals in a short period.
Disputes may occur, but VRChat Wiki, like other knowledgebases, must remain civil. To prevent conflict, use clear edit summaries and seek a neutral resolution on an article’s discussion page.
Alternatively, discuss a compromise on a user page. Do not harass or act uncivilly anywhere on the Wiki, including discussion pages. Refrain from altering disputed sections until an agreement is reached. Assume good faith, as most contributors want to improve the Wiki but may have different perspectives.
