'''WikiIndex:Editing etiquette''' — the points listed below on this project page are {{tag|guidelines}} for being polite, and [[Assume good faith|assuming good faith]], when [[edit]]ing here on {{tag|WikiIndex}}. | |||
* Avoid deleting other people's work | *Avoid deleting (or nominating for deletion) other [[User|people's]] work; <u>unless</u> it is blatant [[spam]]. If you do ''consider'' that the work is in need of deletion, add the template <code>{{Template|delete}}</code> at the top of the article, along with a brief explanation. The [[Template:Delete|delete template]] allows the use of additional text after a 'pipe' ('''<nowiki>|</nowiki>''') – for example: <tt><nowiki>{{Delete|the site is a blog and forum, rather than a wiki}}</nowiki></tt>. The delete template will render a banner on the page, auto-[[Special:Categories|categorise]] the article into [[:category: Pages for deletion]]; and will allow a third opinion to consider the issues. | ||
[[Category: WikiIndex]] | *When deleting pages or removing content from pages, please explain the reasoning with an informative [[edit summary]]. | ||
[[Category: | |||
*If you must delete, and something you [[Special:Log/delete|deleted]] subsequently reappears, do not delete it a second time without first trying to work it out with the other person to reach an acceptable [[consensus]]. In accordance with the [[BRD cycle]], the best way to do this is to use the [[Talk page|discussion]] tab on the actual article. If no one responds to your objections within a reasonable timeframe (at least a month here on WikiIndex, longer is perfectly acceptable), then you may assume they accept, or at least acquiesce to your arguments, and remove the content again. | |||
*When in doubt, walk away; take a [[Wiki break|wiki vacation]]. What might seem important now, is usually less important in an hour, a day, a week, or even a month or so! | |||
::As an example: ''the stuff below is a little wacky. I'm going to walk away for a while, and hope it gets sorted out while I sleep.'' | |||
*Seek a [[third opinion]] (3O); try to step aside and ask for assistance from another [[:Category:Active contributors to this wiki|regular editor]]. If no regular editors are available to help, ask one of the [[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|active administrators]], or start a thread at the [[Project:Community portal|community portal]]. | |||
