So now that I'm pretty much "back" at this wiki, I'm going to roll out a list of things that we should probably follow, but I'm going to just list for the crats to run over and look at. I had more things to say but honestly I can't run my mouth any longer.
 * 1) We should actually just have one crat.  Think about it, we're a very small community, and at best we only need one crat, two admins, and maybe two chat moderators.  We don't need so many to be promoted, we're not like Fantendo or anything.  None of the crats don't even do anything wiki-wise and aren't here as much as we'd like them to be, so we should just leave it to White.  Even then, he's away a bunch of the time, so we need someone to be able to look over coding and stuff to help White.  ...Why not me, considering that I've done so much for this wiki not just content wise, but also CODING wise?  I've made the chat to how it appears today, right?  Okay White edited it a bit but he wouldn't have found that on his own.
 * 2) *Also if you're going to be a promoted member of this wiki, then you should really act your part.  Honestly it bothers me when people are kept as promoted users and they don't even do anything afterwards to keep their role.
 * 3) Neon has said it before, but I think we should limit AMAs to just "ask me anything" things.  Like, just asking questions, not making situational events.  You want to ship, do that in a private roleplay.  No one else needs to see your fanfiction.net worthy stuff.  I suggest closing the forums momentarily if things go too far, just to act as an overall "punishment".
 * 4) This wiki suffers from an immense amount of shipping, and to cut down on it, let's NOT make characters for the sake of shipping.  I've done it before, and trust me, it was pretty bad, and Neon has done it before too.  If you've done it and you're not listed, then I hope you feel guilty.
 * 5) Don't make rip off characters or have a character be half inspired by another one.  The key is to be original, and if you want this recolor based series to be original, then try not to spoil the quality with an unhealthy amount of Steven Universe clones and Super Mario clones.  ...Before you ask I've done this too, but then I deleted those pages, besides Walukirby and it's obvious why I didn't delete him.
 * 6) I think that characters having cigarettes and that kind of thing is cool by me, but I don't think we need to obtain high levels of profanity for these characters.  Even if your character is supposed to be a sailor mouth, think about it...isn't The Adventures of White driven towards a teenage-friendly, if not kid-friendly, audiance?  You shouldn't be making these guys run inappropriate mouths.  And yes I have stopped as well.
 * 7) Avoid making your characters overpowered unless you have a LEGIT reason for them to be overpowered.  Just because they have an awesome design is not an excuse...their backstory and their abilities should be the properties talking.  Most characters run at least one or two elements, and sometimes three, so try not to go over that amount unless it's absolutely necessary.
 * 8) When you make a character, YOU FILL EVERY SECTION, not just the things you find cool.  I'd give examples but that'd be biased...the only section I don't think you necessarily need to fill until it's time is the backstory, and that can be long and complicated, but if it's not complicated, place it into the article anyway.  Try to make some sense in your articles too.
 * 9) Don't overadvertise your AMAs.  Not like that works 95% of the time unless you're White and he's a wizard so I can practically see why.  This isn't really a suggestion but you should just advertise once for boredom and be patient, and link again after a long while (est. 30 minutes).
