==Policies and guidelines==
RationalWiki has a set of community standards to which it sometimes/somewhat adheres. For example, it states "Talk pages should ''never'' be deleted" but in actual practice, talk pages deemed to consist of [[trolling]] sometimes are deleted. RationalWiki does not aspire to be a general purpose encyclopedia like Wikipedia; therefore, pages deemed to be off-mission are deleted. Such decisions are made through a mobocratic process.

==Culture==
RationalWikians tend to frown on editing articles from a non-leftist point of view, and favor instead having talk page discussions of dissident viewpoints. Being bold in editing, especially when done by a new user, will often lead to wholesale reverts, sometimes without even an edit summary to explain why.
