Alright, so I got the iceberg script done a little bit, and I am going to ask one final time before I continue on it () means a change in tier
(1)Dinopedia is a wiki on the site fandom, it consists mostly of pages on dinosaurs and other prehistoric life, however anyone and their grandma can make a video on an iceberg for dinosaurs and prehistoric life, I wanted to make a video on dinopedia as a community, why would you do this you ask? I don’t know. Anyway, I looked at icebergs by user Bajadasaurus 234(2) and User Caurnotaur(3) and added more things to it, and then asked the discussion boards for suggestions and this is the final product.

( ) Tier 1
-The Main page: (6) when you go to the Main page of dinopedia you will be greeted with a green welcome message that reads
WE NEED YOUR HELP
Dinopedia is a constantly growing encyclopedia of dinosaur knowledge. To help the wiki grow, use the search tools provided to find a section of the wiki to help improve. You can improve the wiki by adding more accurate or current information, images, data, and much more. And don't forget to check out the Manual of Style. Look around and see how you might like to contribute!
You will then see Futaka Kouhei 's Triceratops, with text that reads The wiki about all prehistoric life, that anyone can edit! It thenlists the staff, of which I will talk about laterWe try to be an all inclusive and friendly community, but there are rules you need to follow. There is a more in depth page about editing rules, and they can be found here
Be polite. Keep in mind that you are sharing this knowledge and information with others who may have very different views than yours and it is easy to get defensive about your work. Be welcoming and courteous, even when your views are not shared by the reader.
Treat other people as you would want to be treated. Even if you aren't necessarily talking about people of a particular religion or ethnicity, be mindful of cultural bias and try not to stereotype your interlocutors. We don't tolerate any sort of discrimination.
If you're unsure about something, then ask. Most importantly, don't make things up. If you know something but can't find a good source, feel free to ask on the discussion board. Other people may have more experience with this than you, so it is always worth asking if you really can't find what you need.
Without further ado, here's a far more in-depth explanation of out code of conduct. Please read it carefully and follow it as closely as possible.
General Rules and Regulations
We've put together a few rules to help you all behave yourselves while writing and editing content in Dinopedia.
1. Be polite.
Everyone should do their best to be polite. This means being respectful to other people when writing, while also not taking what they say personally. Also, please don't act out of malice or spite, even when you disagree with someone. If someone is insulting you, you may respond by simply ignoring them.
2. Treat other people as you would like to be treated.
If you're feeling nervous, try to step back and take some time to think about what you are going to say. Be aware of your own biases and cultural biases and try not to generalize or stereotype. We don't tolerate any sort of discrimination. We've all seem pointless discrimination and how it can start conflicts, so we simply ask that you be nice. Keep personal opinion out of it.
3. If you're unsure about something, ask.
Even if you're well-informed about the subject, there's often a lot you simply don't know. If you don't understand something, then ask on the discussion board, try to be respectful, and use good judgement. Do not, under any circumstances, make up false information in order to win arguments. That's disinformation, and will not be tolerated.
4. Don't be a jerk.
Don't engage in flame wars or use ad hominem attacks. Even if someone is rude, don't jump in and argue with them. It's best to just ignore them and let them seethe and mald burn out.
6. Keep swearing to a minimum.
Minimal swearing is fine, but if it's completely out of context it's prohibited. For example: "How the f*ck are you???"
5. If you're under the age of 13, don't join the community.
There's this very specific law known as COPPA, or the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which makes it illegal for companies like Facebook and the like to gather information on people under the age of 13. This includes personal information like e-mail addresses and passwords.
6. Only advertise on the off-topic thread, and always ask first.
If you intend to advertise anything, whether it be a Discord server or a personal science blog, then you should absolutely ask the staff first. Maybe there's content on there that shows some sort of personal data, in which case we can't allow for it to be advertised for privacy reasons. But it's most likely that you'll be fine. Just, please - ask!
7. Don't use sockpuppets.
If you've been banned from Dinopedia, or Fandom as a whole, there's a good reason for that. Using sockpuppets will only make the situation worse, and you'll only have yourself to blame.
8. Please, don't spout constant sex jokes.
Sexual humor makes some of our users uncomfortable. Because of this, such jokes are now strictly prohibited.
Consequences
If you violate any of the above rules, the punishment varies based on the severity of the violation. Minor infractions are dealt with by merely editing your post and/or deleting the offending comment. A warning may also be issued. For more severe infractions, such as discrimination, abuse or other forms of malicious behavior, you may be banned from Dinopedia altogether, and risk losing your Fandom account.
Determining Severity
Severity is determined by a number of factors. The most important factor is that of intent, and the amount of bad faith shown by the user. Some infractions such as spamming and advertising are very clear, and will receive a ban. Other infractions, such as posting off-topic content or posting personal information, are less clear. Moderators will look at the severity of the infraction and issue a judgement based on the following:
Is the offence malicious in nature? Is it meant to harass or harm people?
Is it made in bad faith?
Is it an isolated incident, or has it been repeated?
Has the person offended before? If they have, is it serious enough? Has the offence caused a ban before?
Does the person deserve to have their account(s) terminated?
If the answer to any of these is "yes", a ban may well be issued.
Blacklisted subjects
First, you cannot post any things that are going to obviously start arguments, like "guys I think Spinosaurus was a shoreline generalist". Secondly, you cannot post anything based on Dinosaur size, as this is just argument fuel. For now, posting skeletals is ok if it isn't of a famous dinosaur like Tyrannosaurus. If you think the post is turning into an argument, please report it. Finally, please don't make further posts about the state of the wiki. It's disruptive and does more harm than good.
Reporting
Have you seen anyone violating the codes of conduct? Are they harassing other users, spamming, or vandalizing pages? Are they an obvious sockpuppet account? If so, you have two options: you can either contact Fandom directly through ZenDesk, or you could contact our staff.
(7) Discussion Boards
You will arrive at the discussion boards and see the most recent posts. you can see in the top middle You can make a new post in the form of text or a poll.. To the left it will read Welcome to the community!

If you want to share your knowledge and passion for the time when reptiles ruled the Earth, join us today. This is a community site that anyone can edit, including you!
Most of the happenings I will talk about here occur on the discussion boards, one post on the discussion boards has lasted for a long time, and is the next entry on the list
(8) the Nest
The nest is Dinopedia’s off-topic thread and was made by somewhatInked (Ducc) on february 11 2022 it is where lots of the discussion on dinopedia takes place with over 60,000 replies and so many accounts later on in the video I’ll talk about the short lived sequel to the nest, common subjects are, random meme posting, godzilla and monster hunter aside from dinosaurs.

(11) No Spinosaurids rule
This is a restriction for WWW polls to not have any spinosaurids not because of it being unfair but because of how fragmentary they are and would cause arguments.

(13)History wall

-due to vandalism CoolJ7 adopted the wiki in 2010
-lots of growth happened in 2015-2017
-declined 2017-2019

(14) Memes
Memes are an incredibly popular method of expression and with every other dinopedian being a meme poster, there are many good memes,(15) ballin deinonychus, a picture of a deinonychus dunking a basketball that reads “when dinosaurs ruled the earth” with the caption “ this pic goes hard, feel free to screenshot.”
Multiple deinotherium memes, (16) such as a meme that has a video game lobby that has jesse pinkman, walter white and deinotherium, and reads “READY UP DEINOTHERIUM” both of these play a pretty important part later on in the iceberg.
(edit) SiatsPyro07

( ) Tier 2
(22) the Nest V2
After the nest was restarted because of lag a nest v2 was created, however due to multiple arguments (that I may or may not have contributed to) it was deleted, however plans to revive it after the nest reaches 69420 relies have been suggested
(23) Dinopedia’s chaotic nature
If you spend any time at all on dinopedia, you will know 1 thing arguments are a constant, like any post has the possibility for an argument, albertosaurus vs gorgosaurus? started an argument, sussocaris meme? started an argument, a Meme WDYLM? started an argument (which I will talk about later)

(28) 46pixels
46pixels was one of dinopedia meme posters for a long time, he often slandered young earth creationists and that was why he was banned
(29) Dark ages
(30) gastonia Copypasta
the gastonia copypasta is truly something to behold, a marvel of pure beaty, not really, it was orginally a vandalism on the gastonia page that reads "Gastonia was one horny mawf. Its entire life was dedicated to pleasing many lovers, of many kinds.
It was known to reproduce with not only other Gastonia's but other dinosaurs as well. It's favorite dino to b*ne was the TYRANNOSAURUS REX. However, in many instances the TYRANNOSAURUS REX would turn it back on the Gastonia and the Gastonia would do the receiving. Many Gastonia lost their lives to the TYRANNOSAURUS REX because of it's incredibly large reproductive organs.
Another fault of the Gastonia was its incredibly high s*x drive. It would often prioritize sex over food and literally starve and procreate itself to death. There are many fossils of the Gastonia that prove this. They show a collapsed Gastonia that is fully aroused.
Gastonia didn't only reproduce though. It was also a massive fan of o**l procreation. How the Gastonia did this? It is still a mystery to scientists. They hypothesize that it had a jaw different from all dinosaurs that was specially shaped to excel in this activity. It has also been proven that Gastonia did not have teeth. This combined with the special jaw has led scientists to believe that the Gastonia gave the best h**d of ALL TIME.
This is roughly all we know about the Gastonia and it remains one of the most mysterious dinosaurs to this day.
(32) trilobite terror copypasta
This is another copypasta, It originated in the dino attack trading cards series, it reads "NEW YORK, N.Y.-An unidentified corpse was discovered on the corner of Central Park West early this afternoon. The man's face was a grotesque, misshapen nightmare: eyes were completely gouged away, the sockets encrusted with dried blood. Authorities believe he was a victim of "trilobites", flesh- eating worms from the Devonian Period. "Obviously, there's more than just giant dino- saurs to be concerned about," commented the Mayor with a dark chuckle. "These little guys are pretty nasty, so keep an eye out... and forgive the unfortunate choice of words"
(33) mangler fan is anther meme poster from dinopedia, he has been involved with the sussocaris kerfuffle and challenged another user to a rap battle.
