+'''{{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.)
-That said, we do 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".
+===[[WikiIndex:Spam control policy|Spam control policy]]===
-# Controversial content should also not be deleted, but debated on the talk pages and/or improved by adding quotations, references, and anything else that may serve as evidence for (or against) it. Again, what is controversial can be subjective.
+Actual commercial [[spam]] will be mercilessly deleted, without prior discussion.  However, 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'.
+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.
+===[[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!
+===[[WikiIndex:Blocking and banning policy|Blocking and banning policy]]===
+:''Needs expanding''
+For a few more simple guidelines, see: [[WikiIndex:Editing etiquette]] and / or [[WikiIndex:Guidelines]].  For all other guidelines, see: [[:category:Guidelines]].
+A discussion of possible policies follows on this articles' [[talk page]].  See also [[WikiIndex talk:Policies and Guidelines]].  For a more personal and well-thought viewpoint, try [[user:Lumenos/WikiIndex (unwritten) policies]].
+===Personal article policy===
+[[:Category:Wiki people|Wiki people]] articles should be a biography of the person's <u>wiki experience</u> '''only''', and as such, personal information (i.e., birthdays, phone numbers, real names, residence, workplace, etc.) should be excluded – '''unless''' said information is already in the [[:Category:Public domain|public domain]].
