WikiIndex:Editing etiquette – this is a guideline for being polite and AssumingGoodFaith when editing here on WikiIndex.

  • Avoid deleting other people's work (unless it is blatant spam). If you do consider that the work is in need of deletion, add the template {{delete}} to the article, along with a brief explanation – the delete template allows the use of additional text after a 'pipe' (|) – for example: {{delete|the site is a blog and forum, rather than a wiki}}. The delete template will render a banner on the page, and will allow a third opinion to consider the issues.
  • If you must delete, and something you deleted reappears, do not delete it a second time. Use strikethrough (<s>), and then try to work it out with the other person to reach an acceptable concensus; if needed, use the discussion tab on the article, and leave a message on the persons talk page to highlight them to said discussion.
  • When in doubt, walk away – take a WikiVacation. What may seem important now is usually less important in an hour, or even a day or so.
  • As an example: the stuff below is a little wacky. I'm going to walk away and hope it gets sorted out while I sleep.
