This page includes a summary of official policies on AntWiki which are set out in detail elsewhere. Policies have wide acceptance among editors and are considered standards that all editors should follow. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision is consistent with the underlying policies. When in doubt, discuss it on the talk page.
Where a discrepancy exists, the policy page itself overrides. Changing this page does not change policy. Likewise, adding a page to this summary does not elevate it to policy status. Policies are promoted through consensus. See AmtWiki:Policies and guidelines for more.
Content
- Generally avoid uploading non-free images; fully describe images' sources and copyright details on their description pages, and try to make images as useful and reusable as possible.
- AmtWiki is an online encyclopedia and historical record. Please avoid the temptation to use AmtWiki for other purposes.
Conduct
- Consensus among equals is our only tool for resolving content disputes, and our main tool for resolving all other disputes.
- The first step to resolving any dispute is to talk to those who disagree with you. If that fails, there are more structured forms of discussion available.
- Improve pages wherever you can, and don't worry about leaving them imperfect. It is advisable to explain major changes.
- Do not stop other editors from enjoying AmtWiki by making threats, nitpicking good-faith edits to different articles, repeated annoying and unwanted contacts, repeated personal attacks or posting personal information.
- Do not discriminate against current or prospective users on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected characteristics.
- Do not make personal attacks anywhere in AmtWiki. Comment on the content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks damage the community and deter editors.
- Although you retain some rights under AmtWiki's copyright provisions, pages that you create and edit belong to the community. Others can and often do mercilessly edit "your" material.
- Do not use multiple accounts to create the illusion of greater support for an issue, to mislead others, or to circumvent a block. Do not ask your friends to create accounts to support you or anyone.
- Vandalism is any addition, deletion, or change to content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia. It is inappropriate behavior for an online encyclopedia.
