[[ | '''{{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.) | ||
At this moment, we only have a couple of rules, which have arisen from and evolved by direct experience: | |||
===[[WikiIndex:Spam control policy|Spam control policy]]=== | |||
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! | |||
A discussion of possible policies follows. See also [[ | ===[[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]]. | |||
