= Bio Approval =
Bio approval requests will come through the Mod Request channel. 

=== Bio Checklist ===

* Do they have a stock photo FC? If they're using an art FC, are they the artist? If not, do they have proof of permission to use the photos or art?
* Is the character's name acceptable? Does it follow semi-traditional naming or WindClan naming conventions?
* Is a barebones personality and history provided?
* Are content warnings being used correctly?
* Is the character's history infringing on any existing site history (to the extreme)?
* Does it pass the vibe check? 
<br>
If everything looks good, you may approve and process the bio.

=== Processing ===

* Go to edit the profile by clicking on this button

* Go to the "Admin Only" drop-down
* Change "Post Header Image" to the correct group banner. I.e. a WindClan cat would get "wcbanner."
** This is an important step for the character's stats to correctly populate.

* If applicable, add any stat bonuses (or negatives). Note: This is also where you'll add permanent stat bonuses!

Once processed, you may let the member know that their bio has been approved and what their next step is.

* Go to the site shop and go to the "Group Sorting" category. Purchase the item that correlates to their character's group. Use the item (while logged into their character's account) and it will automatically sort them into the correct user group.

== But what if the bio doesn't pass the checklist? ==

In that case, we will reach out to the member and let them know that something needs to be fixed before we can approve their bio. Typically, we will open a ticket. If you're uncertain how to proceed or uncomfortable doing so, please reach out to your team's team lead or a staff member and we'll be happy to help!
