Plants vs. Zombies Character Creator Wiki:Originality

These are the rules of originality. These are the things that will decide whether your article is original or not.

First, an original creation is something new, or something uncreated yet, or something with a new ability not found in the wiki or in the PVZ games.

An unorignal creation is the opposite of an original creation.

Here's a set of rules to follow and to guide you so your creations are good and original:


 * 1) Never do any picture with things from other games, and that is a crossover.
 * 2) Never combine the original plants into one plant, like O-combines or something similar. These are the banes of originality. To find out what not to do, try checking this page out.
 * 3) Never make Zombotany pages. They're not accepted anymore because they're no longer original.
 * 4) If you are making a plant, don't put Summer, Winter, Spring, Autumn, or other common affixes in the name, unless it has a unique, original ability.
 * 5) Make sure your creation doesn't have a similar ability or that your idea doesn't exist on the wiki yet. (to prevent this, try searching for plants or zombies that are very similar to what you're going to make . To further research better, try searching up the category of your plant's ability [instant kill, peashooting, etc])
 * 6) Don't create gigas of any kind, unless they have a new ability and not just a modified, overpowered version. It is preferred that if a Giga is made of a PvZCC Article, it should have the same page to the not-Giga version of the article.
 * 7) Pictures. Make sure that your pictures are not just 2 plants combined or a plant with a different color. Even though the picture is not necessary for the originality of a plant, people will freak out if you do this. Also, don't make creations that are just modified version of a real plant/zombie.
 * 8) (this comes from Sweet Sunshine's blog about the wiki lacking originality, check it out too) Look for interesting, unique, real plants on other websites. Pages like these are one of the greatest pages in the wiki.
