Ben 10 Fan Fiction Wiki:Frequently Asked Questions

This page lists frequently asked questions on here. Please read them thoroughly if you are a new user.

Q: Where can I watch these shows or play these games?
A: Ah, the endlessly annoying question bestowed upon the users here by new users who don't seem to know the definition of "fan fiction."The answer: NOWHERE! Fan fiction is things about a subject written by fans of said subject. Almost nothing here is canon to Ben 10, except the canon alien and canon main character pages.

Q: Where can I find canon Ben 10 info?
A: There is an older wiki deticated to canon info called Ben 10 Planet. Go there for real info, and don't post fan fiction of any kind there.

Q: What does "canon" mean?
A: The answer to this less-often-aksed question is this: Canon means "part of the storyline." For example, Heatblast is a canon alien, while Overflow is a fan fiction one.

Q: I wrote something. Now what?
A: Wait for users to find it. A page creation is automatically listed in the Wiki Activity, and on the box under the page creation button to the right of the screen. Writing messages in chat or on people's talk pages is spam, and it's not the right way to make your stories famous. Another good way to get it out there is by categorizing it thoroughly. For example, an episode page would have the "Episodes" category in it, an Omnitrix alien page would have the "Aliens" and "Omnitrix aliens" categories in it, and so on.

Q: How do I create pages?
A: For now, just use the page creation buttons located under the search bar to the right of the screen (or above the article, if you're on the main page). But a new, more consistent format of creating pages is being developed in this wiki. A very similar thing has already been implemented on the Phineas and Ferb Wiki.

Q: I don't want a page anymore. How do I delete it?
A: Only an admin can delete a page. The best ways to do this are to type " " at the top of the page to mark it for deletion (this will make the Delete template appear) or leave a message on an admin's talk page.

Q: How do I change the name of a page?
A: If you have an account, just click on the down arrow attached to the edit button. Click "Rename" in the drop-down menu that appears. Then follow the directions there to rename your page. If you don't have an account, then leave a message on any registered user's talk page, or make a comment at the bottom of the page asking for the rename that includes the new name for the page.

Q: I got blocked, and I can't edit!
A: Blocking means that all you can do is view a page. You can't edit, rename, or do anything else until your block expires. However, most blocks allow you to edit your talk page.

Q: I don't want to be blocked. Please unblock me!
A: You were probably blocked for a good reason. The only thing you can do is leave a message on your own talk page, if your block lets you. If not, the only thing you can do is wait it out. You will not be unblocked unless you can provide a good reason for your unblocking.

Make a suggestion for additional things to be put here on this page's talk page.
