Animepedia:List of Policies

From Animepedia

Jump to: navigation, search
This is a guideline or policy adopted from Wikipedia, and adapted to fit our own project.

Behavioral

Assume good faith
Assume that most people who work on the project are trying to help it, not hurt it.
Bots
Programs that update pages automatically in a useful and harmless way may be welcome, if their owners seek approval first and go to great lengths to stop them from running amok or being a drain on resources.
Civility
Being rude, insensitive or petty makes people upset and stops Wikipedia from working well. Try to discourage others from being uncivil, and be careful to avoid offending people unintentionally. Mediation is available if needed.
Editing policy
Improve pages wherever you can, and don't worry about leaving them imperfect. Avoid deleting information wherever possible.
Ignore all rules
Every policy, guideline or any other rule may be ignored if it hinders improving Wikipedia.
No legal threats
Use dispute resolution rather than legal threats, for everyone's sake. We respond quickly to complaints of defamation or copyright infringement. If you do take legal action, please refrain from editing until it is resolved.
No personal attacks
Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Animepedia. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Nobody likes abuse.
Ownership of articles
You agreed to allow others to modify your work. So let them.
Sock puppetry
Do not use multiple accounts to create the illusion of greater support for an issue, to mislead others, or to circumvent a block; nor ask your friends to create accounts to support you or anyone.
Three-revert rule
Do not revert any single page in whole or in part more than three times in 24 hours. (Or else an administrator may block your account).
Vandalism
Vandalism is any addition, deletion, or change to content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia. It is, and needs to be, removed from the encyclopedia.
What Animepedia is not
Animepedia would not exist without the online community that has come together to build it. However, Animepedia is first and foremost an online encyclopedia. Please avoid the temptation to use Animepedia for other purposes.
