Darthipedia:Darthipedia is not a trolling organization ^{[citation needed]}

This page in a nutshell: While some of our users are heartless and morally perverse deviants that stop at nothing to corrupt our readers, Darthipedia as a whole doesn't employ trolling tactics.

“I think it's very fair to say that Darthpedia is a wiki that has fun with drama at times”

~ A common misconception about Darthipedia on DP:IRC

“They don't mess around.”

So you've arrived to Darthipedia. You're an administrator on a highly respected wiki, and just mere hours ago, all of the images on your precious wiki were replaced with a tremendous amount of gay porn depicting certain orifices in an unnerving degree of prolapse, and perhaps even one or more animals were involved. What's worse is that you are the only user on your wiki that had the ability to delete these images, and that this attack occurred while you were either at school or sleeping. What's even more worse is that your wiki's topic pertains to a very popular children's franchise and that your userbase primarily consists of young kids who have now been exposed to the horrors of genital mutilation. Naturally, you're pretty upset, which is why you've angrily typed the culprit's username into Google, and surprise! The first result is their profile on Darthipedia, where they may or may not be an administrator.

Now you may be in the process of typing an extremely angry and threatening message to the user in question, in which you'll more than likely demand an apology or they shall suffer the wrath of your large team of attorneys, faithful friends, personal army, or all of the above. Maybe you'll even demand that this user resign from Darthipedia as a method of punishment for their ill-doings. As a matter of fact, you might have even finished writing this message and posted it already, in which case someone from the administration will have promptly given you the link to this very page.

So what now? Well, for starters...

We don't serve your kind here

That's right. Darthipedia won't serve you, primarily because we're not the Whiny Bitch Club. In fact, Darthipedia likely wasn't even responsible for any such acts of trolling, vandalism, and/or spam committed on your website. That's because Darthipedia is not a trolling organization, despite what you may have heard. We cater satirical Star Wars parodies, not gay pornography or any other type of trolling. Though by our own admission, gay porn has occasionally slipped into our Star Wars parodies, but not quite as often as one would hope. Furthermore, Darthipedia and its respective non-existent cabal, has not, does not, and likely will not ever provoke fellow wikis into or participate in any sort of "wiki war" between one another. While we pride ourselves on being evil, us not wanting to participate in such a skirmish with a wiki doesn't make us any less evil. In fact, this is very much for the opposing wiki's benefit, as Darthipedia is victorious on all fronts.

If you see this man, DO NOT approach him.

That said, we can still acknowledge that a small amount of our users do enjoy participating in such activities in their downtime, and often times, they enjoy it probably a bit too much. If you feel you've been attacked, trolled, sexually molested, or in any way harmed by a member of Darthipedia, take it up with them personally. There are plenty of alternatives to moaning and whinging on a user's Darthipedia talk page, and frankly, the Darthipedia administration simply doesn't care about your wiki drama. Just because one user finds some sort of sick enjoyment out of forcing people to endure graphic images doesn't mean the Darthipedia community as a whole should be forced to endure your moaning about it. Darthipedia accepts no responsibility for the actions of one of our users.

Trolling in the name of Darthipedia

Now that the above precautions are out of the way, Darthipedia would also like to take the time to discuss why you shouldn't troll other communities in the name of Darthipedia. Generally, what this refers to is a Darthipedian trolling or vandalizing another wiki and leaving some sort of reference to Darthipedia in the process, such as "Darthipedia is victorious on all fronts!" This can quite clearly be harmful to Darthipedia. While it promotes the website, trolling in the name of Darthipedia gives the appearance that the entire community is responsible for your actions. If you're going to troll, then it's obviously encouraged that you do so without any mention of Darthipedia. Alternatively, if you're absolutely intent on trolling other wikis in our name, then at least do something that we'd find at least mildly amusing.

Trolling and You: The Chronicles of Christopher and Malcolm

We here at Darthipedia empathize with the below-average intelligence of the average troll. If the above explanation was too "intemellectunumal" for you, then we've put together a little educational piece to help you understand just what sort of trolling is considered acceptable in relation to Darthipedia. We hope you enjoy.
