Policies List · Guidelines List Edit

This list of key AmtWiki guidelines is a summary of the most important guidelines that are currently in use. For a full set of guidelines, see Category:Amtwiki guidelines. See Amtwiki:Policies and guidelines for a general overview of what policies and guidelines are about, how they are made, and why we have them.

Conduct guidelines

Assume good faith

Unless there is strong evidence to the contrary, assume that people who work on the project are trying to help it, not hurt it.

Disruptive editing

Participants with a pattern of edits that has the effect of disrupting progress toward improving an article or the fundamental project of building an encyclopedia may be blocked or banned indefinitely.

Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point

State your point. However, do not spam AmtWiki, disingenuously nominate articles for deletion, push rules to their limits, or otherwise create work for other people just to prove your point.

Etiquette

Contributors have different views, perspectives, and backgrounds, sometimes varying widely. Treating others with respect is key to collaborating effectively in building an encyclopedia.

Please do not bite the newcomers

Many new contributors lack knowledge about AmtWiki policies. Nevertheless, always understand that new contributors are prospective "members" and are therefore our most valuable resource.

Signatures

Sign all of your posts on AmtWiki talk pages by typing ~~~~ to be accountable and to help others understand the conversation, but do not sign in articles.

Talk page guidelines

Talk pages are for polite discussion serving to improve the encyclopedia, and should not be used to express personal opinions on a subject.

User pages

You can use your user page to add a little information about yourself or to help you to use Wikipedia more effectively. However, remember that AmtWiki is not a blog, webspace provider, or social networking site.
