This page lists a few rules that users of this wiki are expected to follow if they intend to edit a page or discuss in the comments, message walls, or talk pages. This is to make sure that the wiki remains an organized and friendly place that is on topic with Alex's Mobs mod and its contents.
All users are expected to be familiar with these rules so if you see anyone breaking them, please either report them to one of the Staff Team Members in their message wall or use the chat reporting tool if its a post.
