All registered users of the Looney Tunes Wiki are automatically given their own User Page and Talk Page. However, with this privilege come some basic rules that must be obeyed.

What is a User Page?

• The User Page is your own personal page. On Looney Tunes Wiki, User Pages are generally used as a "user profile". They give information about a user and their activities on the wiki, ranging from what pages they edit, what they are editing, what rights they hold, what groups they are a member of, etc. They can also show your favorite pages, major contributions to the wiki and what project you are currently undertaking on the wiki.

Rules of the User Page

• Don't edit the userpage and not contribute to the encyclopedia - The point of the Looney Tunes Wiki is to contribute to our database and not so often your userpage. Userpages are a bonus feature, not the main attraction. Users who edit their userpage too often may have their userpage protected so that only administrators can edit it for a short period of time.

• No illegal, inappropriate or offensive content. You may place whatever you want on your own User Page, so long as it is not against our policies.
• You may not upload fan content on your user page unless you made it. No fan content on this wiki is allowed for any reason, even in the Discussions Boards. You may only upload fan content to your user page if you made it yourself.
• No blacklists of other users. Users should not make a list of users they dislike or wish to discredit on their User Page.
• Keep images to a minimum. - Users are allowed to place new or existing images on their user pages. However, if an image they uploaded to their user page is a fan image or an image from another wiki or content, users should mark for deletion those picture that they uploaded for their profile which they are no longer using. (If this applies to admins, they can delete them without tagging.) Users can do this by adding {{delete}} to the picture's information page. For further information on pictures, see our videos and images policy. You may not upload fanfiction that is not yours.
• No user is allowed to edit another user's User Page without permission without their expressed permission. The only reason a user can edit someone else's page without permission is if vandalism is being removed (please include an edit summary when doing so).

A user may, of course, ask for help with their page, and you may offer your assistance on their talk page if you believe that they are having difficulty. If another user edits your user page without permission (except for the exceptions listed above), you may report them right away.

What is the User Talk Page?

• The user's Talk Page is a public place to talk with a user and to discuss that user and their activities on the wiki. Use it to ask questions and request help on wiki editing. Occasionally, Acme Staff may issue user warnings on their talk page.. If somebody leaves you a message on your talk page, you will be notified via an icon on the Notifications bell on the bottom left corner of your screen. The number by the Notifications bell will be different depending on how many messages you have received.
• Please note that the user talk page is not the same as the article talk page.

Rules of the Talk Page

• You must respect the owner's talk page at all times. All posts on a user's talk page should be short, polite, and calm. Try to be civil, even when you are in the middle of a heated discussion. No personal attacks or spam are permitted. If you feel that somebody has done so, report it to a Head or Wizard right away.
• Use proper headings. In some cases, like discussing disputes or having a private discussion, it is appropriate to use headings to set the topic you wish to discuss. For example, "A Wild Hare plot synopsis" or "March 2023", as opposed to "Message from John Doe", although general messages, like warnings or greeting messages, can be addressed using "Month Year". (Note: This rule will not be as enforced.)
• Acknowledge and reply to messages from Acme Staff. If an Acme Head or Wizard brings a user's edits into question, that user must acknowledge the message and either respond or change their behavior accordingly. The wiki is a collaborative process, and part of being here to build an encyclopedia is being collaborative and working with others.
• It is forbidden for a user to remove Warnings and/or block messages for any reason from an Acme Head or Wizard. Removing content (in particular criticism) is viewed as an attempt to whitewash user reputation and it demonstrates an unwillingness to comply with the rules. In addition, it shows a form of disrespect toward the Heads/Wizards and the community as a whole. This is not Wikipedia. Warnings and block messages may not be removed for any reason. They are considered permanent additions to your talk page!
  • The user who removed the warning will be blocked from editing for 7 days. In addition, removing talk page warnings and block templates issued by Heads/Wizards while blocked will result in an additional 7 days being added to the block, plus in the removal of the blocked user's talk page access for that period of time.
• Keep replies to a thread to one page. If someone left a message on your talk page, there is no need to respond on their talk page.
• When leaving a message, please remember to sign your posts with ~~~~. This will place your signature on the page so people can tell who wrote your message. Please make sure your signature is appropriate and has your username and a link to your talk page.
