WikiIndex is in the process of developing a set of explicit guidelines. Until then, the wiki admins 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:

  1. 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".
  2. Edit wars are right out. If you find yourself repeatedly restoring content somebody else keeps deleting (or the other way around), stop and seek arbitration. Felix Pleşoianu | talk 03:35, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

For a few more simple guidelines, see Editing etiquette or WikiIndex:Guidelines. For other guidelines, see Category:Guidelines.

A discussion of possible policies follows. See also WikiIndex_talk:Policies_and_Guidelines. For a more personal viewpoint, try User:Lumenos/WikiIndex_(unwritten)_policies. Felix Pleşoianu | talk 03:35, 4 October 2009 (EDT)
