||
| − | Any editor is free to edit policies and guidelines to improve clarity and readability. However, changes to the actual content or meaning should only be done with community consensus. |
||
| − | |||
| − | To this end, the normal procedure for proposing new policies and guidelines or changing existing ones is to create a topic in the [[Forum:Wiki discussion|"wiki discussion"]] forum. Once the discussion has led to a final draft, call a vote. The vote needs to run for a week at minimum and at least 10 registered editors need to participate for it to be valid; a simple majority is sufficient to pass. The [[The Vault:Administrators and moderators|administrators]] may veto a policy; this should only be done sparingly and for good reasons. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Aside from the normal procedure, the administrators may "decree" policies or guidelines. This should only be done with consensus among administrators and in cases where community consensus cannot be reached but a policy or guideline is needed. Of course, changes to decreed policies and guidelines can be suggested by anyone on the "standard" way above. |
