Alright guys, let me explain why this whole wiki is screwed. According to copyright law, the only way you guys can technically post your fan creations online is if 1) you give proper copyright to the owners of the original subject matter, and 2) if it can be considered a parody or a recreation of a canon being in the matter that is simply being drawn to show appreciation to the source. While some argue this falls into these two, but parodying it requires it be poking fun at the source or only use negligible references from it, such as the Smosh song about Youtube taking down them singing the Pokemon theme song, which is a parody of Pokemon in that it only uses the base beat of the song, and of Youtube because Youtube is very annoying when it comes to copyrights (sometimes within reason, sometimes not, they are poking fun at the times it isn't). For the latter, no changes need to be made to it beyond theoreticals such as weaponry, possible -canon- materials the character may get such as a summoning contract with Kurama as well as the toads, and such. Legally speaking, this wiki can be considered a parody, however, parodies cannot claim legal authority without officially registering said copyright. What this means is, the pages here would be usable beyond the original creator's characters (but not the characters themselves) within the scope of the power. So, a power only available through being a Jinchuriki would not be available then by anyone without the Bijuu's powers, same with Bloodline Limits and advanced chakras. Does that mean you shouldn't ask to be allowed to use said power? No, but it means that if they don't answer within a reasonable timeframe, it is safe to utilize the power as long as it doesn't affect the character (so, no bloodline limits that are only in a family or only in one person like Haku's). Does that mean you can ignore a "no"? No, but it does mean that they technically can't do anything if you then draw inspiration from said power. '''Just, please, don't just copy the skill with a single hand sign or two at the end. That's a huge can of worms I do not wish to deal with.'''

Technicalities: -You can technically use a name already used, for example say your character is Miyu Seirina, but someone else has Miyu Seirina or just Miyu as a character. What this means isn't that you can't post your character, but rather the page should have a distinguishing feature, like a middle name, a nickname, a title, or even just your username in parenthesize. You can also make skills with the same name but different effects, as long as the name itself is not unique, for example, Seirinian Song cannot be used, but Siren's Song could be the name of multiple skills with differing effects, even if only slightly. Don't just copy a skill's effect and just slightly edit it, such as, again, just adding a couple hand signs or using a spirit with a different name but essentially the same thing, such as having the Shikigami eat the two souls and having Hades eat the souls, unless the end result is different, for example the souls do not constantly do battle unless they choose to, instead they go to Hades, breaking the cycle of reincarnation (for those that believe in that), and are judged fairly, however using the skill might condemn the user to a lesser sentence, such as being stuck in the equivalent of limbo instead of Heaven. -Similar effects with extremely different names. By all means, this is the main way of making fan-jutsus and the like. Someone else has elemental armor? First off elemental armor isn't unique, you can easily make a jutsu that gives a similar effect, such as making your body rock solid as opposed to gaining physical armor that you wear, or being cloaked in flames that don't (or do to an extend without chakra control, why not give it some issues that make it less likely to be used?) as opposed to chakra that has a burning effect (which in turn can be said to be mimicked from Naruto's Tailed Beast chakra, even if unintentionally). -Similar names, similar effects. By all means, this is not a bad thing to do, as long as there are substantial differences. For example, Water Wall and Hydro Wall. One stops you from moving via water (and probably chakra, hence why Kakashi didn't just punch the mist demon in the back to escape), the other literally stops the opponent through a source of hydrogen (not just water, mind you, air could be used too), possibly by making a wall, either literally or by making a gap between them. The logic behind this is simple, some people get inspired by jutsu they see and try to replicate. In canon, the Rasengan is an example of the one before this, but still works. It is a mimicry of the Bijuu Ball, using force instead of yin and yang chakra. The Bijuu Ball has no jutsu-based name, so he named it himself. -Copyrighting official pages. I don't know WHY, but for some reason you can take an official page and claim only you can use it. This is against copyright law, and is grounds for a lawsuit, if the original owner so chooses to. -Items owned by inactive members are technically grounds for a free for all. This is a mimicry of official copyright law, where after a certain amount of time the copyright has to be renewed, or it goes into some special state I personally do not fully understand.

'''-There is a reason Miyu Seirina should not be copied. This is due to the fact Seirina is Greek, not Japanese like Miyu. My Miyu changed her last name to cut ties with abusive parents and become a ninja, aided while she was in training by teachers and officials. By all means, you CAN use the name, but unless you have a reason to like I did, I wouldn't, for fear of being called a mary sue. -Seirina's Song is a jutsu my character has made herself. By all means, once I make the page, if there is a way they can access it, like sneaking into her house and finding her book of experimental jutsus, go for it, just please ask me, so I know what the story of it is, and please don't permanently take it, if you do remove it please copy some jutsus and bring it back in the same condition as it was taken in. If the message before this is ok for you to do because you have a reason to have a Greek name, like Greek parents moving to Japan/Narutoverse, by all means, make your own Seirina's song. The specifics are not made yet, so if my design is accidentally like yours, I'll ask if it's possible for them to exist at the same time, like coincidental effects or my character just happened to use the same or similar resources for it.'''
