I’ve always had an interest in wiki-like websites, so I created my own, for what I think is the truth, for my view of the world (otherwise I would’ve just joined Polandball or Polcompball wiki). I always get the final say. I payed the money to keep this site running. If you want a more free space to edit, or are mad about the things I put on this wiki, I would suggest you go edit the Polandball and Polcompball wiki instead. This website is [[File:AntiCommie-icon.png]] [[Anti-Communism|anti-communist]] and [[File:Conservatism-icon.png]] [[Conservatism|conservative]]. This website is not suited for [[File:Commie-icon.png]] [[Communism|communists]], [[File:Socialism-icon.png]] [[Socialism|socialists]], [[File:Lib-icon.png]] [[Liberalism|modern leftists]], [[File:Prog-icon.png]] [[Progressivism|progressives]], [[File:Women-icon.png]] [[Feminism|feminists]] (especially third wave), [[File:LGBTQ-icon.png]] [[LGBTQ+|LGBTQ]] affiliated people, {{i|Darwinism}} [[Darwinism|Darwinists]], and [[File:Atheism-icon.png]] [[Atheism|atheists]].
{{i|Heterodontosaurus}} '''[[Heterodontosaurus Balls]]''', or '''HeteroBalls''' for short, is a wiki that is the main personal project of user {{i|Heterodontosaurus}} [[User:Heterodontosaurus|Heterodontosaurus]], an {{i|China}} [[China|Chinese]] immigrant living in {{i|Canada}} [[Canada]], created on 19 April 2024. Originally made on {{i|Fandom}} [[Fandom]] for his {{i|Artist}} [[:Category:Portraits|artworks]], the initiative of the site has grown bigger since then. It is Heterodontosaurus's own domain, and it documents his views on the truth of the {{i|Universe}} [[Universe|world]] and various subjects in the form of {{i|Poland}} [[Polandball|balls]]. As such, he, the owner, always gets final say, though usually will try to be reasonable and compromise. The site also serves as an information hub for Heterodontosaurus, where he add in everything he knows about a topic in their relative page. 🫵 '''''You''''' are welcome do dump all your knowledge here too.

I paid the money to keep this site running. If you want a more free space to edit, or are mad about the things I put on this wiki, I would suggest you go edit the public or "official" wikis instead, they probably share your views more. Heterodontosaurus Balls is {{I|AntiCommie}} [[Anti-Communism|anti-communist]] and {{I|Conservatism}} [[Conservatism|conservative]]. This wiki is not suited for {{I|Commie}} [[Communism|communists]], {{I|Socialism}} [[Socialism|socialists]], {{i|ModernLeft}} [[Western New Left|progressives]], {{i|SJW}} [[Social Justice Warriors|SJWs]], {{I|LGBTQ}} [[LGBTQ+|LGBTQ affiliated people]], {{i|Darwinism}} [[Darwinism|Darwinists]], and {{i|NewAtheism}} [[New Atheism|new atheists]]. However, Heterodontosaurus Balls will not ban anyone based off of their ideology, only their actions.

=== Non-Mainspace Pages ===
===Linking===
Non-mainspace pages are pages where you can create a subject where I usually won't intervene (as long as you don't break the rules). Nothing is guaranteed to be included when the page is created on the main space. These pages can be considered a sandbox.
Don't link to other websites (exception is [[template:HeteroTunes|HeteroTunes]]), HeteroBalls does not wish to be affiliated with any other site. If you see something from an article or video about a subject you find useful, add the contents to the page!
*Non-mainspace pages go into {{LL|Category:Non-Mainspace Characters}}, not {{LL|Category:Characters}}. Also, don't add them to other categories (besides categories such as "Stub" and "Under Construction") until the page is in the main space.
*For citations (if needed), you can name the thing you site to (example: The Lipostocrat Manifesto by Case Baker, pg. 67), but do not link them.
*For songs, link them to their own subsection where the lyrics are located.
 
===Non-Mainspace Pages===
Non-mainspace pages are pages where you can create a subject where the owner usually won't intervene (as long as you don't break the rules). However, nothing is guaranteed to be included when the page is created on the mainspace, but if the contents are of high-quality you can usually count on it being added. These pages can be considered a sandbox.
*Non-mainspace pages go into [[:Category:Non-Mainspace Characters]], not [[:Category:Characters]]. Also, don't add them to other categories (besides categories such as "Stub" and "Under Construction") until the page is in the mainspace.


Make sure that it isn't repeated if you want to make one.  
Make sure that it isn't repeated if you want to make one.  
Non-mainspace pages are graded from S to F mainly based on their quality, amount of content, and consistency. The higher their grade, the more likely it is to be added to the mainspace. Feel free to provide reasoning for a grade change if you want.

== Allowed & Not Allowed Ball Types ==
==Allowed & Not Allowed Ball Types==
A wide variety of balls, like countries, polcomp, companies, and more. I will be going over which balls is allowed here and which not.
A wide variety of balls, like countries, ideologies, companies, and more. This section will be going over which balls is allowed here and which not.
 
'''Allowed:'''
*Countryballs - The original, basically what this wiki is based off of.
*Planetballs - Interesting, and close enough to countryballs.
*Polcompballs - Interesting, and close enough to countryballs.
*Companyballs - Less interesting, but still close enough to countryballs.
*Philosophyballs - Interesting, and close enough to polcompballs.
*Ethnicityballs - Interesting, and close enough to countryballs.
*Disorderballs, other relatedballs - Pretty interesting.
*LGBallT - I dislike their agenda and degeneracy, but are allowed here because the study of these delusional people and their flags are interesting. Can also be categorized as disorderballs.
*Geographyballs (mountains, rivers, continents, and other non-political/non-cultural geographies) - Less interesting, but still close enough to country/planetballs.
*Chromeballs (computer softwareballs) - Interesting, and close enough to companyballs.
*Languageballs - I decided to allow them.
*Communityballs - About other communities, and can be counted as ideologies since each community have their biases.
*Artballs - Interesting, about art and aesthetics, also includes music. Can be counted as philosophyballs.
*VideoGameballs - Close enough to chromeballs.
*Elementballs - Seems interesting.


<b>Allowed:</b>
'''Considering:'''
* Countryballs - The original, basically what this wiki is based off of.
*Bioballs - Why not, eh? But I will be developing a separate set of designs to avoid any explicit imagery.
* Planetballs - Interesting, and close enough to countryballs.
* Polcompballs - Interesting, and close enough to countryballs.
* Companyballs - Less interesting, but still close enough to countryballs.
* Philosophyballs - Interesting, and close enough to polcompballs.
* Ethnicityballs - Interesting, and close enough to countryballs.
* Disorderballs, & other relatedballs - Pretty interesting
* LGBallT - I dislike their agenda and degeneracy, but are allowed here because the study of these delusional people and their flags are interesting. Can also be categorized as disorderballs
* Geographyballs (mountains, rivers, etc.) - Less interesting, but still close enough to country/planetballs.
* Chromeballs (computer softwareballs) - Interesting, and close enough to companyballs.
* Languageballs - I decided to allow them
* Communityballs - About other communities, and can be counted as ideologies since each community have their biases.
* Artballs - Interesting, about art and aesthetics, also includes music
* VideoGameballs - Close enough to chromeballs


<b>Considering:</b>
'''Proposed:'''
* Bioballs - I don’t know how to feel about this one. Its relativity towards original countryballs are almost none, but I’m getting more interested in this by the day. But, it’s not all family friendly
*Chemballs - About chemistry, what's the difference between elementballs?
* Elementballs - seems interesting, but still wondering on the design
*Colourballs - About colors, idk if they are notable though. There are infinite colours, and no clear line of what should be considered as separate colours. This also means I have to develop new [[:Category:Designs|designs]] for characters that have monocolour designs.


<b>Proposed:</b>
'''Not Allowed:'''
* Chemballs - about chemistry
*Individualballs - Individual people can be represented with their own ideology as a polcompball or philosophyball, so this is useless. For example, Chiang Kai-shek is already documented in the page {{i|Chiang}} [[Chiangism]], and it would be redundant to create another separate page called "Chiang Kai-shek".
* Colorballs - about colors, idk if they are notable though
*Userballs - Same as individualballs, but even more niche.
<b>Not Allowed:</b>
Not specified as of now

🟢 Heterodontosaurus Balls, or HeteroBalls for short, is a wiki that is the main personal project of user 🟢 Heterodontosaurus, an 🟢 Chinese immigrant living in 🟢 Canada, created on 19 April 2024. Originally made on 🟢 Fandom for his 🟢 artworks, the initiative of the site has grown bigger since then. It is Heterodontosaurus's own domain, and it documents his views on the truth of the 🟢 world and various subjects in the form of 🟢 balls. As such, he, the owner, always gets final say, though usually will try to be reasonable and compromise. The site also serves as an information hub for Heterodontosaurus, where he add in everything he knows about a topic in their relative page. 🫵 You are welcome do dump all your knowledge here too.

I paid the money to keep this site running. If you want a more free space to edit, or are mad about the things I put on this wiki, I would suggest you go edit the public or "official" wikis instead, they probably share your views more. Heterodontosaurus Balls is 🟢 anti-communist and 🟢 conservative. This wiki is not suited for 🟢 communists, 🟢 socialists, 🟢 progressives, 🟢 SJWs, 🟢 LGBTQ affiliated people, 🟢 Darwinists, and 🟢 new atheists. However, Heterodontosaurus Balls will not ban anyone based off of their ideology, only their actions.

Registration

When you make an account, make sure to message me (🟢 Heterodontosaurus) to confirm you are not a 🟢 bot. Otherwise, your account might be deleted! (Usually I can tell real people from bots, but this is just to make sure.)

  • Refrain from using swear words. If you use swear words on a page, censor the main vowel letter. The only case a "swear" is allowed is that if it is part of a name.
  • Every first mention of a topic that is deserving of a page on the wiki (i.e countries, planets, ideologies, etc.) that is not the page's subject itself should have an icon and link.
  • People should also have links. Many famous people have their own icons and personal ideologies.
    • For non-famous people, link them to their closest ideologies. If you don't know, link them to their country of origin.
  • 🟢 Don't upload other people't art on this website without their permission. Try to make your own art, it's fun!
  • When editing an ideology's people and examples, list them from their time of existence, oldest to newest.
  • Copy and pasting from other sources is allowed, but make sure to change the pronouns from it/its to 🟢 he/him or 🟢 she/her, since entities here are presented as characters. Also make sure to have all the necessary links and icons. If the text you copied and pasted doesn't match these criteria, it may be removed.
  • No 🟢 pro-CCP and 🟢 communist propaganda. We will not ban you if you are personally a communist, but if you add pro-communist/radical leftist content to pages, it will be removed.

Linking

Don't link to other websites (exception is HeteroTunes), HeteroBalls does not wish to be affiliated with any other site. If you see something from an article or video about a subject you find useful, add the contents to the page!

  • For citations (if needed), you can name the thing you site to (example: The Lipostocrat Manifesto by Case Baker, pg. 67), but do not link them.
  • For songs, link them to their own subsection where the lyrics are located.

Non-Mainspace Pages

Non-mainspace pages are pages where you can create a subject where the owner usually won't intervene (as long as you don't break the rules). However, nothing is guaranteed to be included when the page is created on the mainspace, but if the contents are of high-quality you can usually count on it being added. These pages can be considered a sandbox.

Make sure that it isn't repeated if you want to make one.

Non-mainspace pages are graded from S to F mainly based on their quality, amount of content, and consistency. The higher their grade, the more likely it is to be added to the mainspace. Feel free to provide reasoning for a grade change if you want.

List:

Uploading Files

Try to compress your files using Compressor.io before uploading them. It reduces the file size and keeps the quality. For designs, use loseless compression. Otherwise, you can use lossy compression.

If you use IbisPaint, try to use canva size to compress your file.

Allowed & Not Allowed Ball Types

A wide variety of balls, like countries, ideologies, companies, and more. This section will be going over which balls is allowed here and which not.

Allowed:

  • Countryballs - The original, basically what this wiki is based off of.
  • Planetballs - Interesting, and close enough to countryballs.
  • Polcompballs - Interesting, and close enough to countryballs.
  • Companyballs - Less interesting, but still close enough to countryballs.
  • Philosophyballs - Interesting, and close enough to polcompballs.
  • Ethnicityballs - Interesting, and close enough to countryballs.
  • Disorderballs, other relatedballs - Pretty interesting.
  • LGBallT - I dislike their agenda and degeneracy, but are allowed here because the study of these delusional people and their flags are interesting. Can also be categorized as disorderballs.
  • Geographyballs (mountains, rivers, continents, and other non-political/non-cultural geographies) - Less interesting, but still close enough to country/planetballs.
  • Chromeballs (computer softwareballs) - Interesting, and close enough to companyballs.
  • Languageballs - I decided to allow them.
  • Communityballs - About other communities, and can be counted as ideologies since each community have their biases.
  • Artballs - Interesting, about art and aesthetics, also includes music. Can be counted as philosophyballs.
  • VideoGameballs - Close enough to chromeballs.
  • Elementballs - Seems interesting.

Considering:

  • Bioballs - Why not, eh? But I will be developing a separate set of designs to avoid any explicit imagery.

Proposed:

  • Chemballs - About chemistry, what's the difference between elementballs?
  • Colourballs - About colors, idk if they are notable though. There are infinite colours, and no clear line of what should be considered as separate colours. This also means I have to develop new designs for characters that have monocolour designs.

Not Allowed:

  • Individualballs - Individual people can be represented with their own ideology as a polcompball or philosophyball, so this is useless. For example, Chiang Kai-shek is already documented in the page 🟢 Chiangism, and it would be redundant to create another separate page called "Chiang Kai-shek".
  • Userballs - Same as individualballs, but even more niche.
