Here are some basic groundrules you have to read before creating an account and editing pages.
The Pizza Tower Wiki is a space for anyone to learn about, or help document ''Pizza Tower''. Below are a set of rules that must be followed before using the wiki. Please also note that you must be at least ''15 years old'' before contributing.


* Vandalism or the spread of misinformation on any level is not tolerated.
*By signing up, you agree that you're '''15+ years old''' and that you speak English well enough without producing too many grammatical, spelling or interpunction errors.
** Do assume good faith at first. Chances are someone is editing to help the wiki and made a mistake. Correct it and let the user know.
*'''We have zero tolerance for people looking to vandalize the wiki or spread misinformation because it's considered "funny"'''. You'll get [[Special:Log/block|blocked]] and we'll lock you out of creating a new account with no exceptions or appeals.
* Do not include any member of Tour de Pizza's real name in any article for any reason unless said member has actively made it public on their own terms.
*Creating an account with the sole purpose of only creating a userpage without contributing to the wiki itself will lead to a temporary suspension. The Pizza Tower Wiki is a wiki, and not your personal social media or meme page.
* The creation of alternate accounts (or sock puppetry) is not allowed and will result in a permanent ban.
*NSFW or NSFL content is not allowed in any shape or form. If you see any, remove it and [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|contact a staff member]] so we can take action appropriately.
* Do not partake in [[w:WP:WAR|edit wars]]. If there is a disagreement, discuss it on the wiki or in the Discord server.
*Creating alt accounts, especially in order to bypass a block or other account restrictions is not allowed. Attempting to create an alt after a block will result in a systematic auto-block. This includes VPNs.
* Plagiarism is forbidden.
*Copying text word-by-word, unless you're quoting something or someone should be avoided altogether, as it counts as plagerism.
* Use [[Pizza Tower Wiki:Guidelines, Editing & Help:Talk pages|talk pages]] appropriately. Do remember that this is not [[w:Fandom (website)|Fandom]].
*We are not interested in fan content, which includes but isn't limited to art, mods, music or mockups. Only in strict cases is fan content allowed, but only with approval from [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|staff members]].
* Ask before creating a new page. Sometimes missing pages already have been made, or are being drafted by somebody.
*This isn't FANDOM. There's no discussion board, no user blogs and no threads. Wiki's are wiki's, and not a form of social media where you can talk edgy to other users. We're expecting you to keep this in mind while editing [[Pizza Tower Wiki:Guidelines, Editing & Help/Talk Pages|talk pages]] or your userpage.
*'''Do not test the patience of the moderation team'''. Breaking a rule for the sole purpose of trying to anger them will only lead to harsher punishments.


Note that bans and other punishments on the wiki may also apply on our [https://discord.com/invite/ECTAYpYDSv/ Discord server] with no appeals.
Punishments taken on the wiki may also apply on the Discord server with no appeals.


==Grammar & Spelling==
== Grammar, Spelling and Formatting ==
This wiki uses [[w:Canadian English|Canadian English]]. Please make sure to use proper spelling and grammar when contributing to the wiki. This includes proper punctuation and capitalization.
Grammar and spelling is the most important factor when writing a page. It's upmost important that you don't screw this up.


*Avoid speaking in second person, eg. using the word "you" on pages. If you're refering to no one in general, refer to the player (in third person).
Avoid using second-person pronouns (i.e. you, yourself, etc). When referring to someone who plays the game, refer to them as "the player."

**'''Example''': "''You're'' tasked to beat the evil Pizza Tower" is not allowed. "''The player is'' tasked to beat the evil Pizza Tower" is allowed.
Example:
*Use proper interpunction and letter capitalization. Use capital letters for characters, titles and the beginning of each sentence.
<!-- maybe we should make a template for a "checklist" kind of thing...-->
* Bad: You're tasked to destroy the evil Pizza Tower.
* OK: The player is tasked to destroy the evil Pizza Tower.

== Fan content ==

The main focus of Pizza Tower Wiki's scope is official content relating to ''Pizza Tower''. The wiki's coverage of fan content (also known as [[wikipedia:Canon_(fiction)#Fanon|fanon]]) is limited to fan content that has been officially licensed or endorsed by Tour de Pizza.

Examples of official licensing or endorsement include:

* Inclusion within the game itself;
* Fan content sold as merchandise through publishers that officially license merchandise from developers and publishers (e.g. Fangamer);
* A formally written acknowledgment by Tour de Pizza that declares the content to be canon or a tie-in.

Documentation on fanworks that are not officially licensed or endorsed is better suited for [https://fanlore.org/ Fanlore], a wiki that documents fanworks and fan communities. Fanlore both has [https://fanlore.org/wiki/Pizza_Tower a page on the Pizza Tower fan community] and [https://fanlore.org/wiki/Category:Pizza_Tower a dedicated Pizza Tower category.]

Grammar, Spelling and Formatting

This wiki uses Canadian English. Please make sure to use proper spelling and grammar when contributing to the wiki. This includes proper punctuation and capitalization.

Avoid using second-person pronouns (i.e. you, yourself, etc). When referring to someone who plays the game, refer to them as "the player."

Example:

  • Bad: You're tasked to destroy the evil Pizza Tower.
  • OK: The player is tasked to destroy the evil Pizza Tower.

Please keep in mind how to format text, and preview before submitting an edit.

Unused or Upcoming Content

Ever since the Pumpkin Hunt update, content presumably leftover from a future content update has been leftover in the files. Current wiki policy is to not document these for now. This will change in the future.

Fan content

The main focus of Pizza Tower Wiki's scope is official content relating to Pizza Tower. The wiki's coverage of fan content (also known as fanon) is limited to fan content that has been officially licensed or endorsed by Tour de Pizza. Articles with such coverage can use the template {{fan content}} at the top of the article. Examples of official licensing or endorsement include:

  • Inclusion within the game itself;
  • Fan content sold as merchandise through publishers that officially license merchandise from developers and publishers (e.g. Fangamer);
  • A formally written acknowledgment by Tour de Pizza that declares the content to be canon or a tie-in.

Documentation on fanworks that are not officially licensed or endorsed is better suited for Fanlore, a wiki that documents fanworks and fan communities. Fanlore both has a page on the Pizza Tower fan community and a dedicated Pizza Tower category.
