Hello Max, I wanted to talk you regarding your actions on the Sharkface vs Pyro (TF2) page.

Rule 21 of the Rules and Guidelines states:

21. 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).

I saw that you first adopted the page a couple of years but then due to your inactivity in 2016 Baka then decided to adopt the page and remove your category from it since he assumed you had left the wiki. I then saw that you added your category back on the page in July without notifying Baka that you were intending to work on the page again. For future reference, if you decide to make your own version of another user’s battle, you should always notify them before you add your category to the page (even if you did previously own the page yourself in the past) as otherwise it comes as rude and goes against the rules of this site.

I just wanted to help you out regarding this situation.

Good day.
