Template:TOCright WikiIndex is in the process of developing a set of explicit guidelines. Until then, our 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.)
Right now, we only have a couple of rules, which have arisen from direct experience:
Spam control policy
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'.
Edit wars are right out
If you find yourself repeatedly restoring content somebody else keeps deleting (or vice versa), stop – and seek arbitration.
Blocking and banning policy
- Needs expanding
For a few more simple guidelines, see "WikiIndex:Editing etiquette" or "WikiIndex:Guidelines". For 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 viewpoint, try "User:Lumenos/WikiIndex (unwritten) policies".
Personal article policy
Wiki people articles should be a biography of the person's wiki experience only, and as such personal info (i.e., birthdays, phone numbers, real names, etc.) should be excluded.
