Brighter Shores:Policies

To ensure that people can contribute in good faith to the wiki, the Brighter Shores Wiki has several easy-to-follow policies. These are generally modelled on similar wikis of this nature, including Wikipedia. The key to maintaining a successful wiki is by making decisions through consensus, which is what we aim to do at all times.

Community policies

• Ownership – Users do not own the pages and files they edit or create. They exist to better the wiki in some shape or form.
• Protection – Unless there are reasonable grounds for protecting one, pages should remain fully editable by users to ensure wide collaboration is possible.
• Status and opinion-weight – An editor should not be treated differently or have any extra weight on their opinions based on their experience or status.
• Three-revert rule – Explain the changes you make in the edit summary. Rather than engaging in a revert war with another user, discuss it in the talk page.
• Use common sense – Common sense takes precedence over any policy. Be reasonable.

Content policies

• Future Content Policy – Content sourced uniquely from the cache about future, unreleased episodes should not be added to the wiki. However, any information from the cache or other reliable sources about current episodes is permitted, provided it is accurate and verifiable.
• Granularity – Anything notable, excluding players, may have its own article.
• Neutral point of view – Pages on the wiki should always be written from a neutral point of view.
• Spoilers – Articles may contain content that spoils some of the game. There are no warnings on the wiki, so viewers should read at their own risk.
• Assume good faith – Always assume that an editor's actions were an attempt to improve the wiki.
• Don't delete discussions – Don't delete previous discussions. These include user talk pages.
• Don't edit userpages – There's no reason to edit another user's pages under most circumstances.
• Blocking users – Disruptive users can be blocked from editing by administrators. Blocked users can still read all pages, but can't edit any page except their user talk page.
• Treating other users with respect – Be nice and don't try to cause unnecessary strife.
