Synth DIY Wiki:Policy

This wiki has its own policies, guidlines or rules and doesn't follow those of any other site. The policies of the Synth DIY Wiki are decided by a consensus of its users. The following are guidelines rather than rules.

General guidelines for the Synth DIY Wiki

In no particular order:

• If you want something added or changed in the wiki, go ahead and do it.
• Be constructive – if you don't like something, improve it.
• Be polite and friendly, help and encourage others to make constructive use of the wiki.
• For readability, try to keep articles concise and to the point, break up long sections of text.
• Try to bring new or original information to the wiki rather than just re-using something already elsewhere on the web.
• Try to give references for what you write, so that it can be verified.
• Don't write about what you're going to do, when you've done whatever the work can speak for itself.
• Try not to link to external sites for more information when you could add the information to the page itself.
• Don't just duplicate information from other sites without improving upon it.
• Don't hotlink unless the other site explicitly allows it, even then try to avoid it.
• Don't infringe copyright.

Wikipedia's Help:Introduction to policies and guidelines and Simplified Ruleset give more information about the sort of things Policy should cover.
