WikiIndex:Policies and Guidelines

WikiIndex:Policies and Guidelines

WikiIndex is in the process of developing a set of explicit guidelines. Until then, the WikiIndex Admins will monitor the wiki and use their common sense to resolve issues. Where there is a dispute, it will be resolved between the active admins on the site. (Or alternatively a vote amongst the active users.)

Right now, we only have a couple of rules, which have arisen from direct experience:


 * Spam Control Policy
 * Actual commercial spam will be mercilessly deleted. Irrelevant content should be instead marked for deletion, to allow a review first. One man's "irrelevant" can be another's "interesting".


 * Edit wars are right out
 * If you find yourself repeatedly restoring content somebody else keeps deleting (or the other way around), stop – and seek arbitration.

For a few more simple guidelines, see Editing etiquette or Guidelines. For other guidelines, see Category:Guidelines.

A discussion of possible policies follows. See also WikiIndex talk:Policies and Guidelines. For a more personal viewpoint, try User:Lumenos/WikiIndex (unwritten) policies.
