News

Hello wiki users! Back in 2021, we disabled article comments due to moderation concerns, as activity had gotten out of hand. Since then, moderation tools have improved and we have interested staff, so we believe it's time to bring Comments back.

We hope to see Comments become another place for users to chat about specific topics, as it is simpler than linking through discussions. (do remember we also have talk pages for more formally discussing changes to articles themselves)

We’ll closely monitor activity in comments to ensure it aligns with our discussion rules. If you come across anything off-topic, inappropriate, advertising-related, or otherwise against the rules, please use the "Report" feature to notify staff.

Recently I announced that some users applied to become staff. While this is a bit late as I don't think it was officially announced, Cabbage Man Fan is a (trial) discussions mod! 🎉

We also have two more users applying to become staff:

• F-sharp for admin

• Queen Dusk for content moderator

So this means any members of the wiki community (who have a registered account and at least 5 edits or posts) can go to these applications and publically either support, oppose, or be neutral. Your vote will let the admins know your opinions on the user and how you think they will do.

The applications will end in a few more days so I suggest checking them out soon.

And if anyone else wants to apply to become a mod, they should check out the staff application process (as long as they meet the requirements).

If anyone has any questions, feel free to drop me a message on my wall.

Recently there have been many, many posts about how something looks like the Among Us characters here. They have to stop. Let me sum it up:

Just because a rectangle/oval/shape has a smaller rectangle/oval in it does not mean it is related to Among Us.

Please follow the wiki rules, and Fandom Terms of Use.

Also this is a general reminder that low effort posts (including memes, art, and polls) are not allowed. Posting super common memes like "when the impostor is sus" or stuff like that is not allowed. And posting posts with like one sentence is also not allowed.

And finally, posting unrelated posts (*cough* looks like Among Us *cough*) is also not allowed. Posts must be actually related to Among Us or this wiki.

Posting art of your crewmate? Good! Post it in Art/Animations.

Posting a story of a game you were in? Good! Post it in Gameplay/Screenshots.

Posting an image of something interesting or funny you saw in the game? Good! Post it in Gameplay/Screenshots.

Posting a poll asking for your favorite map? Nope, no low effort polls.

Posting "this trash can looks like a crewmate"? Nope, unrelated.

Posting valid questions about the game? Good! Post it in Advice/Help.

Posting a made up story about the game? Good! Post it in Stories.

Posting ideas about some cool new game features? Good! Post it in Concepts/Ideas.

Posting "red sus"? Nope, low effort.

Posting a question about the wiki? Good! Post it in Wiki.

... and you probably get the point! Also make sure to use the right categories :)

If you have any questions, drop me a message on my wall.

Recently we created this staff application process for anyone (who meets the requirements) to use to apply for staff. It involves community input and is completely public.

We already had two users apply for discussions moderator:

• Cloudydays6

• Cabbage Man Fan

So this means any members of the wiki community (who have a registered account and at least 5 edits or posts) can go to these applications and publically either support, oppose, or be neutral. The applications both have around 5 days before they close so I suggest checking them out soon.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to drop me a message on my wall.

Now that Innersloth released the new Airship map, we have seen a surge in the number of posts written in the discussion area. With this surge in post numbers, we have also seen many unrelated/low effort posts being posted, which is against our rules. Please take time to read them, and report posts that break the rules. By hovering over the three dots, you will have the option to report a post. Taking time to do this will alert moderators about posts that might break the rules.

Now, let's talk about the new map. Innersloth knows there are many glitches on the map and the new account system, but posting these questions over and over becomes spam. They are currently working on a fix.

By clicking on advice/help in the category activity section, you will be able to see all posts posted there, and scroll to see if your question is there. If it is, do not post it. You can click on the replies to see if your question was answered. If you do not see your question anywhere in that section, go ahead and post it!

If you do have a question, make sure to put the post into the right category by looking at the following image.

Make sure to read the rules, and leave any questions on my message wall.

Getting notifications from this wiki when you don't want to? See Help:Unfollowing.

The reason that this is being considered is because there's always a lot of flak going around in comments that is harmful to others. It's very hard to moderate comments, because there are more than 300 individual articles, and it's impossible to sort through the dozens of comments and sometimes hundreds of replies on each article.

Please write yes or no in the comments below, along with an explanation (doesn't matter how long) on why you chose your answer.

This poll isn't going to be the absolute final answer, but every opinion will be taken into consideration.

Edit1: Please don't just say yes or no. We want to hear your reasons, in as much detail as possible, so that the staff can make an informed decision on this.

Also, just so your inbox isn't spammed forever, I'd recommend unfollowing this post, as I expect it will get a ton more replies.

Edit 2: You can see each user's response and vote here. This thread will be locked at 5PM EST on March 29, 2021.

Hello Among Us Wiki, Chikorita Lover here. Recently, there has been a large surge in discussion over Among Us hackers. The near entirety of this discussion is just screenshots of their chat messages in-game. By submitting these posts, you are supporting hackers. You are spreading their advertisements and spam.

First off, let us congratulate our three new content moderators on joining the staff team: Helenaandjames, Thundercat3, and F-sharp! All three have greatly contributed to the wiki and have deserved to be promoted.

Such posts are not only supporting hackers, but are additionally spam; so many are posted, and posting a screenshot of a hacker is only contributing to such spam. Our wiki rules additionally state that discussion of hacks is not allowed.

If you see such posts, please take the time to report them. Users can report posts by hovering over the three dots next to a post's title, then selecting the option to report. This will let moderators know and we will look into it. Additionally, please make sure to read the wiki rules, and leave any questions on my message wall.

Recently there has been a surge of low effort posts. This is your friendly reminder to put effort into your posts (text and pictures). (and they should be placed in the correct categories)

If you make low effort posts, you will receive a warning. Also make sure to follow the other rules.

What is a low effort post?

Low effort posts don't have an exact definition, but here are some guidelines:

• Posts less than 10 words (like "Among us is fun")

• Posts that repost common images/memes (distraction dance, impostor of the vent, etc.)

• Polls on common subjects (like what color, what cosmetics, favorite role, should I...)

• Art that you made in like 10 seconds or using an online are generator like Picrew (example:

Unrelated posts also aren't allowed, and they are normally low effort too.

What are unrelated posts?

• Different games (like Among Us ripoffs)

• Hi I'm new...

• Your personal life

• Henry Stickmin (go see the Henry Stickmin Wiki)

• Other wikis

• And pretty much anything not related to Among Us, this wiki, or Innersloth

How to report a post

So you see a post and it breaks the rules. You should report it. First of all, don't ping staff. Fandom has a report feature, located in the three dots menu on every post.

This allows all of us to see a list of bad posts and take care of them.

Categorization

All posts must be put in the right post category. You can choose this after you write your post but before you post it.

Questions?

If you have any questions please feel free to ask me or the other staff on our message walls.

Also @Helenaandjames and @Thundercat3 are now content moderators!

Hi everyone, in an attempt to clear up any confusion about what polls are acceptable here, I've created a little poll guideline chart.

Blue squares are questions. If you answer yes to a question, move to the left. If you answer no to a question, move to the right.

A red square means not to post it.

A yellow square means to ask a moderator.

A green square means it is OK to post it.

The official guideline list has been updated to reflect this change, and you can find the file here: https://among-us.fandom.com/wiki/File:Poll_Guidelines.png

We thank everyone in advance for their cooperation!

After deciding upon numerous candidates, we have officially chosen two new staff members!

I'm proud to welcome @RainyRaspberry and @Yeetyeetimapro as two of our new discussion moderators! I'm confident they'll do a good job in managing posts here.

If you have any questions or comments, please ask in the replies below or on a staff's message wall.

Please do not get off-topic or start drama in the replies here.

Update: User @Yeetyeetimapro has unfortunately been demoted and blocked for inappropriate activity.

Remember to follow the rules and have a nice day. -Starr

Recently, there has been an increase of drama incidents, arguments, and other situations that can spiral out of control. This is a general reminder about how we can mitigate these incidents and not let them grow.

1. Notify staff: If a user is being disruptive and will not cease their behavior, notify staff so they can take care of the situation.

2. Do not retaliate: Firing back at the disruptive user not only gives the reaction that the user may be looking for, but it also makes you liable to a block as well. It could worsen the problem. The best thing to do is to notify staff and wait for them to take care of it.

3. Don’t make posts specifically to point out drama: If there is a drama issue somewhere in the wiki, don’t make a discussion post about it to draw more attention to it. Instead, ping or post to a staff member’s wall who is able to take care of the situation.

4. Report bad comments/posts: This will let staff see bad comments, which can be hidden in massive threads like roleplays that aren't really patrolled.
