Hello everyone, I wanted to inform you all that a new section has been added to Rule 20 (1 of the 2 rules regarding OCs). Said new section has been highlighted in bold to distinguish it from the other sections of Rule 20 that were on the Rules and Guidelines page previously.

Rule 20: Original Characters, or OCs for short, are welcomed here on the wiki, however, before you create a page for your character, your original character(s) must successfully pass the Mary Sue Litmus Test, a test designed to prove a original character isn't created only for being overpowered, for your original character to have a viable page, your character must score LESS than 40 points in order to be validated, the link to the test is found here: http://www.springhole.net/writing/marysue.htm, when taking the test, make sure you take Part 1, Part 2 and especially Part 5, those parts are vital to getting your final score, which is the most important and deciding factor for your character to be validated on the wiki.
 * OCs based on an Already Existing Characters that originate from a Fanfiction (I.E: A Version of Sonic from a Undetale Fanfic) are not allowed HOWEVER they are allowed on Blogs as an Alternative.
 * Self inserts are not allowed on pages alongside other OCs, unless the self-insert in question is different and original enough to warrant a page. Recolours and other unimaginative self-inserts are to be moved to a blog post.

I also wanted to give a shoutout to Inkriel, who was recently made a Superintendent and to Sharaku Jr. who has been made a Discussions Mod. Please feel free to congratulate them down below!

If you have any questions regarding the new section of Rule 20, please feel free to post them down below as well.

Big out.
