Australian Enthusiasts Wiki:Policy
From Australian Enthusiasts Wiki
Australian Enthusiasts Wiki has policies that must be abided by in order to continue editing. A unexhaustive index of policies, along with a short summary, follows. It is highly recommended that you read as many policies as possible while or before you begin editing.
Editing
- Vandalism: Do not willfully damage the wiki.
- Edit warring: Do not repeatedly revert other users, even if they too revert you. Discuss any disputed edits or reverts instead.
Civility
- No personal attacks: Do not disparage, threaten, insult or attack other editors.
- Harassment: Do not take intentional steps to harm another editor's experience.
- No legal threats: Do not threaten to sue or take legal action against another editor or Freosan Studios.
Discussion
- No personal commentary on articles: Do not post your own personal comments to articles; use the talk page for this.
- Off topic postings on talk pages: Please keep posts on talk pages on topic.
Accounts
- Username policy: Please choose a username that identifies you as a contributor (not necessarily your full name, just not a company name or other group with multiple people), and that is not gratutiously obscene.
- Sockpuppetry: Except under valid circumstances, do not abuse multiple accounts.
Userspace content
- Userspace content: We allow biographies about yourself in your userspace. We are not a webhost, meaning that we will not host content that does not help the wiki, such as blogs. We also may not tolerate pure editing of your userspace, as it signifies that you are not here to build a wiki.
Discipline
- Warning templates: A set of warning templates may be issued to users in response to violations of policies listed here.
- Blocking policy: Administrators may block accounts, which removes their editing privileges.
- Appeals: Provided one has not had their talk page access revoked, blocked editors may appeal their sanctions.
- Block evasion: If you are blocked, do not attempt to evade it, even if you believe it was in error. Appeal your block instead.
Files
- Media rules and guidelines: File uploads are allowed by experienced editors. Please ensure you upload relevant and freely licensed content.
Administrators
- Administrators: Administrators are senior editors of Australian Enthusiasts Wiki who have the tools to make decisions not normally trusted to novice or even journeymen editors. However, certain restrictions restrict such tools from being used in inappropriate circumstances.
- Involved administrators: Please do not use your administrator tools in order to enforce your preferred revision, page or other condition when other users have objected.
- Wheel warring: Do not reinstate a reverted administrator action.
