Copying articles

• If the article you are wishing to copy/use elsewhere has no name on the bottom of the page (usually in italics), you may freely use it. This does not mean you can claim it as your own work, however. The work can simply remain uncredited.
• If the article you are wishing to copy/use elsewhere does have a name on the bottom of the page, you are still allowed to freely use and distribute it. However, you must credit the person/people that wrote the article.
• Whether you're copying a credited work or not, a referral to Game-Maker Wiki is not needed (if you really want to, however, you can).

Adding GAME pages

• You are free to add a page for any or all games you have made, however, if you have a series of games, it is recommended that the series takes up one page on its own.

Editing and deleting articles/text

Swearing

Swear words are not allowed out of context. A swear word "in context" would be, for example, a game name which contains a swear word. A swear word "out of context" would be one used to shout at a mediocre game.
