'''Off-topic''' content is [[:Category:Wiki Topic|content]] that does not further the [[WhatIsWiki|wikis']] mission, aim, or objective. Most {{tag|wiki}} sites' rules about what is on- or {{tag|Off topic|off-topic}} are typically implied by their '[[about page]]', which describes the wiki's purpose. There may also be an explicit '[[inclusion]] policy', '[[deletion]] policy', or '[[WikiIndex:About#What WikiIndex is not|what this wiki is not]]' page (or section within another page); stating what content is acceptable and unacceptable. Sometimes, there are dissident [[user]]s who advocate a '{{Wp|Project:Wikipedia is a community|this wiki is a community}}' policy; but they tend not to prevail in completing eliminating the [[banning]] of some off-topic content from the [[wiki]]. Sometimes, people advocate {{Wp|Municipal disinvestment#Benign neglect|benign neglect}} of the issue, thinking that off-topic discussions will tend to peter out on their own if left alone for awhile. | '''Off-topic''' content is [[:Category:Wiki Topic|content]] that does not further the [[WhatIsWiki|wikis']] mission, aim, or objective.
