23. When considering to work on a What-If? Death Battle already owned, consider these:
 * If a fight is owned by an active user, and it is incomplete, you can freely create your own version of the battle without having to ask the owner for permission, HOWEVER, it is required to give a notice to the user (via Message Wall) before doing anything to the page
 * If a fight is owned by an active user, and it is complete, the same process as above will apply
 * If a fight is owned by an INACTIVE (Has not contributed to the wiki for at least 6 months) user, then you are eligible to remove their category if you so desire.
 * Lastly, it is NOT acceptable for users to create their own version of another user’s battle just so that they can prove them wrong and openly mock them for making a particular character win/lose a fight in order to try to convince said user to change the outcome of their battle. If any evidence is found of users trying to do this their battle will either be deleted on sight (if they have already completed their own version of the battle or are in the process of completing it) and they will be given a Warning OR the user will be sent a message by a member of staff telling them that they cannot create their own version of said battle (if said user hasn’t gotten round to asking/notifying the owner if they can create/will be creating their own version of the battle).

Hey Hipper, long time no speak. I wanted to talk to you about your actions regarding the Bane VS Captain America page. While I understand that you've been away from the wiki for a while and may not have been aware of this, according to Rule 23 of the Rules and Guidelines if you intend to make your own version of a battle that is owned by an active user (a user who has contributed to the wiki within the last 6 months) it is required that you send the owner of said battle a message on their wall informing them that you intend to make their own version of their fight. I am aware of the fact that Maxevil is no longer active on the wiki, but since I am still active and also own said page, it would have been good if you told me you were going to be making your own version before creating your tabber, instead of just creating it straight away.

To be clear, this isn't a Warning. I just wanted to help you out regarding this situation and to inform you of the updated version of the fight adoption rule so you can keep it in mind in the future.

Have a good day.

Kind regards

Big
