Template:Wiki policies and guidelines
Policies set general rules for the wiki's administration and its content. Their goal is to establish basic criteria for all content and rules for using administrative tools.
Guidelines describe desired etiquette and common practice in the creation, editing and organization of articles on this wiki. Their goal is to make the wiki easier to use for both editors and readers alike and to make its appearance more consistent and streamlined.
Adding or changing policies and guidelines
If you would like to propose new policies and guidelines or changes to existing ones, please create a topic in the Wiki policy discussion forum. Once the discussion has led to a final draft, call a vote. A minimum of 10 registered editors need to participate in the vote for it to be valid; a simple majority is sufficient to pass. The administrators may veto a policy; this should only be done sparingly and for good reasons.
