Policies in the SDIY wiki are decided by the wiki community. The following are guidelines rather than rules.

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 friendly, help and encourage others to make constructive use of the wiki.
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.
This wiki does not have to have the same rules as Wikipedia.
For readability, try to keep articles concise and to the point, break up long sections of text.

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