Infosphere:Frequently Asked Questions

This is a list of frequently asked questions for this wiki in general, and not for the show. This page is protected so only sysops can edit it. To propose questions, use the [[Talk:Infosphere:Frequently Asked Questions|talk page]].

Technically, few of these questions have been asked before, so they are hardly frequently asked questions, but everyone cheats when they make FAQ's! Haha!

List

Currently no listing order.

What can I expect to find on this wiki?

As much as content as possible about Futurama. Its episodes, comics, films, characters, locations and a lot of other things. All content somehow related to Futurama is welcome here. We do not have a notability requirement like Wikipedia.

Are there any relations between this wiki and any of the companies involved with Futurama?

No. We are entirely independent. Our work is supplied by fans of the show itself rather than its makers.

Does that pose a legal issue?

All the content of the show is protected by copyright laws. But the use of stills, scans, etc. from the episodes, films and/or comics are protected under the Fair Use laws in the United States where the server is currently located.

Do you cite your sources?

As a general rule, no. We consider that everyone has seen the episode or film or read the comic, or at least those who write the content. We only regard sources as necessary for unreleased material, such as the upcoming films.

What if I add something bogus to an article then?

In such a case, every article has a talk page for discussing it, but if an user knows it's wrong, it will probably be removed and regarded as spam/vandalism, though depending on its content, banning/block may not always be put in force.

Should I write articles in US English or UK English or any other English?

We consider any English as good enough. However, we do not find it necessary when you edit articles to correct "other" English variant spellings of words into another. However, when it comes to names, US English are preferred as the show is American. E.g. Mom is spelt with an 'o' rather than an 'u' in UK English. Or the title caption for 1ACV01 is in color rather than in colour.
