These are '''frequently asked questions''' about editing on and contributing to Blooncyclopedia.

==Why can't I create new pages / upload files?==

In order to create new pages or upload files, you need to have an account and become [[Blooncyclopedia:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed]]. This role is automatically given to your account when it is at least three days (72 hours) old and has made at least 5 edits.

In order to create new pages or upload files, you need to have an account and become [[Blooncyclopedia:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed]]. This role is automatically given to your account when it is at least three days (72 hours) old and has made at least 10 edits.

==I see an error I want to correct, but the text doesn't appear in the editor. How do I fix it?==

==What are those red links that begin with "Template:" for?==

That happens if a page attempts to call a [[Help:Templates|template]] but the template hasn't been created yet. Missing templates are actively being worked on, so the red text should go away and start working properly once the template is complete.

==Can I copy text from other wikis to or from here?==

In most cases, '''NO'''. Most other wikis release their content under a different license from Blooncyclopedia; the one you probably want to copy from uses the [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ CC BY-SA] license instead of [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ CC BY-NC-SA], and these licenses are not compatible with each other. See [[Blooncyclopedia:Copyrights]] for more information.

Even if another wiki uses a license that permits content to be copied to here (such as TCRF), doing so is bad for our search engine rankings and may be considered plagiarism if the source is not attributed correctly, so we strongly discourage doing so.
