User blog:Blupo/New Wiki Rules

Oh boy.

Hello everyone, today we are doing a comprehensive rewrite of the rules of this wiki. This updated rules are meant to clarify what you can and cannot do on the wiki, what we want the wiki to look like, as well as what you can and can't receive punishment for. The rules are also being restructured into Policies and Guidelines. Policies will define punishable actions. Guidelines define how the wiki should act and look, but they are only suggestions.

The new rules can be found at Project:Rules. The Policies specificially can be found at Project:Policy, and the Guidelines can be found at Project:Guidelines. Additionally, they are included at the bottom of this blog post.


 * When will the rules go into effect?
 * The new Policies will go into effect on Friday, 20 July 2018 PST (two weeks after this announcement is made). The Guidelines will go into effect immediately after this announcement is posted.


 * Will I be punished for not following the Guidelines?
 * No, because they are only suggestions.


 * What will happen to the old Guidelines?
 * They have been moved to Project:Guidelines/OLD. After 20 July, they will no longer be considered the wiki rules.


 * Can I suggest changes to the rules?
 * Yes, but not at this time.

The new rules are included below for your convenience.
