FAQs

For Frequently Asked Questions:

How much work needs to be done for a page?
After typing the title and creating the page using the "Create Page" button you see around on the Main Page, you just need a short description of the scene, at minimum. It is also recommended that you add categories but if you haven't someone else can do it for you.

Can I share content from this wiki outside?
Yes, this wiki is made for users to easily browse and find scenes they like and talk about it in order to help the Inanimate TF community and their discussions. What crosses the line however, is ripping off content to create another wiki for purposes that this wiki already provides for. It's best to ask the owner but some form of copying can be acceptable, like providing a wiki like this for other languages. Don't try and risk stretching what this means though, please ask the owner if you have questions. The admin of this wiki has allowed an exception in the new ASFR Wiki by Matthew Dubelier, which would make much better use of the content than a wiki with a stigmatized admin. Even if you hate Psykofreac, this other admin and his wiki did nothing wrong so please be nice to them.

Will a wiki about petrification like this really be okay? You know what happened to the ASFR Wiki right?
The problem with the ASFR Wiki both old and recent was that it used Fandom Wiki as the host. Wikis hosted by Fandom can easily be taken down especially when people who don't like them abuse the system, which was what happened to the ASFR Wiki. Inanimate TF Wiki however uses Miraheze and has already been approved by our host, which they do for all wikis made here, so I'm confident it's much more secure.

How to title entries on this wiki?
Start with the title of the work then go with what indicates the scene as well as possible. Usually, it's best just to give the episode/chapter number but sometimes that's not enough so it's best for a title with a very brief description of what type of scene it is that also helps other users indicate it. Some examples include when a single episode has multiple TF scenes( Aladdin: Locket and Aladdin: Petrification ) in which case, please include the episode/chapter number on the article description. There are also, works that are just one long installment, so it's difficult to find the scene just from the installment( Final Fantasy IV: Twin Sacrifice ) or works where a certain kind of TF is too frequent throughout the series( Code Geass: Rolo's Geass ) which is usually due to it being some part of a character's power. However, if there is one very long TF scene that goes over multiple episodes/chapters, just include the earliest episode it happens in the title( Fairy Tail Episode 42-44 ).

Can I link any video to articles on this wiki?
We would prefer you to find a video from StatueLove's channel as he is our biggest affiliate. It helps that we know StatueLove approved with his videos being featured here. Of course, his channel doesn't have all TF scenes but please first try and find a video there if you can. Otherwise, please find a Youtube video and one that's specific to the scene in question. Please don't link entire episodes.

All this wiki editing thing sounds so confusing, is there any place I can practice?
We have a sandbox for this wiki also known as the Do Whatever You Want Zone where you can do any edit you want and see the result(the vandalism rule doesn't apply there). Look at how edits are made all over the wiki, test it here, just play around with it a lot and get the hand of it.

Your wiki looks like garbage and there are so many ways I can do it better, what do you have to say?
If you have any complaints, you can make them in the Forum. Particularly in Suggestions and Criticisms.

Are Male Inanimate TF accepted in this Wiki?
YES! It's dumb this is even a question but the owner of this wiki had come across fanatics of this interest who complain about seeing TF scenes featuring male characters. Even if you don't believe it, there are both fans of Male TF and fans of Female TF. In fact, the creator of this wiki has an interest in both and welcomes both. If you're so averse to TF of a certain gender, please use the search function while filtering the category, explained in the next question.

How do I search for content of specific types?
First find a category regarding a subject that interests you, the link to the category will list all scenes within that subject. In order to search multiple categories, use the search function while entering: "category: (insert category)" "category: (insert second category)". For example, searching: "category: group inanimation" "category: liquification" will bring up these results. To filter out a category, place a - sign before the quotation marks but if you don't have any other category you want to search, enter "category: scene article" along with it. For example: -"category: live action tv" "category: scene article" will bring up these results.

I know an Inanimate TF scene but it's a work from a foreign language and I don't understand the full context for a proper description. How do I post it?
Just try describe what looks like is happening in the scene then paste '''[This article may need help, the source is in (insert language) and has not been properly translated into english. Help from anyone who understands the source would be appreciated.]''' Due to the simplicity of this interest, lengthy description isn't necessary, just try to have a brief line of what you can make.

What do you mean by "Mind control is also being considered but not yet decided"?
When the owner was creating this wiki, there was recently an issue with Mental-Block Wiki where it was threatened removal by Fandom Wiki. The owner thought that if needed, this could also be a good place to move to in a topic of interest that is usually grouped together. Mind control may also count as the character becomes robot-like, making them an inanimate tool and these scenes are often paired with petrification and other Inanimate TF in media so it would be fun to see how they're listed. Although, right now, Mental-Block is still doing fine(which is a great thing of course) so this probably wouldn't be needed for now. Also, it might be rude to copy their content so unless anything goes wrong or if those in charge of Mental-Block agree to anything, we'll probably just leave the mind control to Mental-Block Wiki.
