Publicity
If you only read the Six Flags Wiki website via any device, no more information is collected than is typically collected in server logs by websites.
By contributing to articles on Six Flags Wiki, you are publishing every word that you post publicly. If you write something, assume that it will be retained forever. This includes articles, talk pages, user pages, and discussions. Editing on Six Flags Wiki is a public act, and you are identified with each edit as its author.
Phishing
A Six Flags Wiki administrator will NEVER ask you for your password. If you receive such a request from a user pretending to be a Six Flags Wiki administrator, do not respond to it. Do not under any circumstances reveal your password to anyone else. Stay safe.
Personal information
As a user on Six Flags Wiki, you are not required to explicitly release any personal information about yourself, including but not limited to your real name, gender, age, location, country-specific identification code, or anything else besides the screen name of your choice. You are not required to provide any such information at the request of any Six Flags Wiki user — administrator or not. Always ignore any such requests.
If you publish any such information on Six Flags Wiki, you acknowledge that you do this completely voluntarily, and that you realize the potential consequences of doing so, including potential misuse by third parties. Six Flags Wiki claims no responsibility for the accuracy of any personal information provided by its users.
Personal information belonging to others
Disclosing personal information of another person without their explicit and public consent is strictly forbidden, whether on the site or in other associated talk channels or social media outlets. As per Six Flags' corporate protections for their employees, you are never allowed to disclose the name, location, or other information about actors or other Six Flags employees that are not intended for the public eye or have not been otherwise publicly disclosed by the company. Failure to comply with these rules may result in legal liability and/or a permanent ban from Six Flags Wiki.
Six Flags Wiki and FANDOM
Six Flags Wiki is hosted by FANDOM, a commercial company incorporated in Delaware, United States, and headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States. As such, the operation of Six Flags Wiki falls under both United States law and FANDOM policies.
The Six Flags Wiki community has no official affiliation with FANDOM. None of the Six Flags Wiki administrators are part of the FANDOM staff. They do not have direct access to the FANDOM servers or any information not provided by the MediaWiki software interface, which Six Flags Wiki runs on.
Information available to FANDOM
The Six Flags Wiki server logs record IP addresses and user agent strings of all users, registered or not. These are not, by themselves, made public; they are only used to aggregate data for the public FANDOM statistics, and for CheckUser requests (see below). For details, refer to the FANDOM terms of use.
Information available to the Six Flags Wiki community
The term "Six Flags Wiki community" includes all Six Flags Wiki users not affiliated with FANDOM. This includes Six Flags Wiki anonymous users, registered users, administrators, and bureaucrats.
IP addresses of anonymous users are publicly available. An IP address can in many cases be used to identify the user's Internet service provider and/or geographical location. If you do not want your IP address to be public, it is in your best interest to register.
IP addresses of registered users are not publicly available to the Six Flags Wiki community. For an exception, see the CheckUser section below.
In case of autoblocks, the name of the autoblocked registered user or IP address is not revealed by the MediaWiki software. Autoblocks, therefore, cannot be used to establish two users as sharing the same IP.
Administrators can read deleted pages, while regular users cannot.
CheckUser
Although Six Flags administrators do not normally have direct access to the database of registered users' IP addresses, they can under certain circumstances submit a CheckUser request to a FANDOM staff member. For details, see Wikia:Help:CheckUser. Other users may or may not be made aware of the fact that the CheckUser request was submitted.
CheckUser requests are logged in a private FANDOM log and not available to the Six Flags Wiki community.
CheckUser is only utilized in case of suspected sock puppetry in violation of Six Flags Wiki policies, such as using a sock puppet to circumvent a block or engaging in vandalism using multiple accounts.
As a result of a CheckUser request, the administrator is not usually given the IP address of the registered user. They only receive information on whether two or more users share the same IP range. The range (not the full IP address) is only disclosed if it is necessary for a rangeblock.
Information security
Six Flags Wiki makes no guarantee against unauthorized access to any information you provide. This information may be available to anyone with access to the FANDOM servers.
Removal of user accounts
Once created, the complete removal of a user account impossible due to how MediaWiki works. You may close an account, which locks you out of your account and displays a notice of your disabled account. It will not delete your username from any edit history or logs.
An alternative is changing your username as well. It may be changed only one time, and you may not revert back/changed after you change your username.
COPPA provision (users under 13 years old)
If a Six Flags Wiki user claims to be under 13 years old, all personal information about them is deleted. This is a forced measure to avoid any legal trouble associated with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. Six Flags Wiki does not block users who disclose that their age is under 13, but FANDOM staff have the option of doing so.
