RuneScape:Policy

All users are expected to adhere to the policies of the RuneScape Classic Wiki while editing on the RuneScape Classic Wiki. If you disagree with any policy, feel free to discuss changes on the Forums.

Policies have wide acceptance among editors and describe standards that all users should normally follow. All policy pages can be found at Category:Policies.

Guidelines are sets of best practices that are supported by consensus. Editors should attempt to follow guidelines, though they are best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply. Guideline pages can be found in Category:Guidelines.

Essays are the opinion or advice of an editor or group of editors, for which widespread consensus has not been established. They do not speak for the entire community and may be created and written without approval. Essays that the author does not want others to edit, or that are found to contradict widespread consensus, belong in the user namespace. Essays are listed in Category:Essays.

List of policies

• All editors are equal - An editor's status, popularity, or in-game experience does not affect how they are treated and how their opinion is "weighed" in a discussion.
• All human - All humans make mistakes, and we are all human.
• Assume good faith - Unless there is conclusive evidence to the contrary, always assume that an editor's actions were an attempt to improve the wiki.
• Don't delete discussions - Don't delete previous discussions.
• Don't edit userpages - Please don't edit others userpages.
• Gaming the system - Use common sense. Don't interpret policies and editors word-for-word.
• Ignore all rules - Common sense takes precedence over any policy. Be reasonable.
• Image Policy - PNG is the preferred format; Only 2 personal images are allowed.
• Neutral point of view - Articles should be written about facts, not personal opinions.
• Not RuneScape - This wiki is about RuneScape Classic, not RuneScape 2.
• Protected page - Admins can protect specific pages to prevent further vandalism
• Rules for Editing Highscores - Always assume good faith when editing highscores.
• Talk Page Guidelines - Talk pages are used to communicate between users, either about the article, or recent edits made by a user.
