The Lion King Wiki

This is a list of rules that must be followed on The Lion King Wiki. Failure to comply will result in a ban, and further failure to comply will result in a permanent ban. You will usually receive one or two warnings before the first ban; however, this is not a hard and fast rule. You will get instantly and most likely permanently banned for posting inappropriate material. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask an admin. A list of current active admins can be found here.
