Wikipedia[]
A lot of content on this wiki, mainly episodes, is taken from Wikipedia. This is pointed out using the Wikipedia template by typing {{Wikidump}}. No more articles should use content from Wikipedia and the edits will be reverted. This is displayed as:
However, if you notice a page that is similar or an exact copy of a Wikipedia article, please change it to make it less noticeable. Then we can remove the template.
An easy way to spot an article copied from Wikipedia is through the links. Some users can not even be bothered to link these to Wikipedia, leaving red links a lot of the time. If a red link looks like it should not belong on this wiki, and there are multiple of these on the page, it is most likely a copy and paste job.
Other Wikis on Fandom[]

We recommend that you do not copy work from another wiki if we do not hold the copyright or if it is not available under a proper license.
