Battle Nations Wiki:Policies

Policies are the backbone of the wiki. Like guidelines and rules, all users, regardless of status and position, are expected to follow them. None of these policies are ever set in stone, however. Anyone who disagrees with a policy is welcome to suggest changes at The Garrison. Here is a listing of our policies:

Site and Community Policies

 * Don't delete discussions - Do not remove discussion from a talk page unless it is blatant vandalism. This policy applies to user talk pages as well.
 * Red Link policy - Don't make red links to prove a point, only use them for pages that need to be created.

Page and File Policies

 * Impersonal "You" policy - Avoid using the impersonal you when editing articles. Instead use the third person singular form or third person plural form.

User Policies

 * All editors are equal - All editors, regardless of status and position, are treated equally and have the same amount of say in their opinion.
 * Assume good faith - Unless it is obvious vandalism, always assume that a user's contributions to the wiki are to improve it.
 * Blocking guidelines - Destructive editors and vandals that need to be blocked should be barred from editing the wiki in increasing periods of time depending on the magnitude of vandalism or controversial edits and if they were blocked previously.
 * Sock puppetry - One editor, one account.
 * User treatment policy - Be considerate and not disruptive.
