Most of these sections are excerpted and credited to We Bare Bears Wiki:Regulations, which also applied to every FANDOM page you've visited other than Cold Case Wiki.

Also, there are 2 ways to check your edits before you decide to save them.

USER RIGHTS POLICY
User rights is an additional benefits for all the contributors which had created their own accounts already. User rights for starters can be given a status of a User, and when they contrubuted to 10 or more edits, they will automatically gained autoconfirmed users, which will be able for them to contribute more in this wiki. However, there are some user rights that can be gained if they're showing any good faith edits and contributed to a wiki without any single bad edits or not blocked within the wiki or on other wikis.
In this wiki we are considering giving them an additional user rights if they're proven to have a potential to contribute in a good way. Here are some policies for gaining user rights. Please do understand that if ever we granted you these rights (i.e. Administrator), be sure to follow these rules:

- We are only accepting applicants for those contributors if they're following the rules and regulations imposed in this wiki.
- Granting an Administrator rights or any other user rights is a responsibility for you to improve this site even further and can access you to modify some special pages that only admins can do so. It is not a priveledge nor rights to bragged someone.
- Failing to do his/her duties and responsibilities when he/she finally gained these user rights will be automatically dropped back from being a simple contributor only, and will denying any kind of request to regain it.
In addition, we are only granting these rights if a contributor made at least 250 edits for the past 7 days without any single bad reverts and no records of violating any rules applied here in this wiki. If you ever requesting for such rights, we are welcome to accept any requests by leaving a message to those admins who was assigned in this wiki (PandaB31, WarGrowlmon18, 1LOSTFan, Thenchick, or if ever he/she was still active the original creator of this wiki).
(For all administrators/bureaucrats: Please do check his/her edits made for the past 7 days, refer to Special:AdminDashboard for more information, or if you had any questions regards to that, please contact any admins available for you to show you how to do that. Make sure as well that those contributions are not reverted due to a vandalism, spamming, or any kind of bad edits, and make sure that they will meet the requirements for them to grant this rights).
Be responsible for editing and make more contributions be more specific for the readers and visitors of this wiki more informative.
