[[WikiIndex]] is in the process of developing a set of explicit '''{{tag|guidelines}}'''.  Until then, our [[Sysop|admin team]] 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.)
'''{{tag|WikiIndex}}''' is in the (slow) process of developing a set of explicit '''policies''' and '''{{tag|guidelines}}'''.  Until then, our [[Sysop|admin team]] will monitor the [[wiki]], and use their '''common sense''' to resolve issues.  Where there is a dispute, it will be resolved between a number of the active admins on this site.  (Or alternatively a vote amongst the active users.)


Right now, we only have a couple of rules, which have arisen from direct experience:
At this moment, we only have a couple of rules, which have arisen from and evolved by direct experience:

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'.
Actual commercial [[spam]] will be mercilessly deleted, without prior discussionHowever, irrelevant content should be instead marked for deletion, using <tt>{{template|delete}}</tt>, to allow a review first.  One person's 'irrelevant' can be another's 'interesting'.


===[[Edit War|Edit wars]] are right out===
Please note that WikiIndex ''does'' allow external links which would be prohibited on the [[English Wikipedia]], provided they are strictly relevant to the actual wiki site; for example, social media sites for a wiki, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.  We also provide links to 'chat' services for a wiki site, such as IRC and Discord.
If you find yourself repeatedly restoring content somebody else keeps deleting (or vice versa), stop – and seek arbitration.
 
===[[Edit war]]s will NOT be tolerated===
If you find yourself repeatedly [[Revert|restoring]] content somebody else keeps deleting (or vice versa): '''stop''' – and seek arbitration; ideally initially from our [[WikiIndex talk:Community portal|community]], and if that fails, from a [[sysop]] and/or [[staff]] member. Alternatively, take a 'wiki holiday' for a period of time!
