Policies need to be approached with common sense; adhere to the spirit rather than the letter of the rules, and be prepared to ignore the rules on the rare occasions when they conflict with the goal of improving the wiki. | Policies need to be approached with common sense; adhere to the spirit rather than the letter of the rules, and be prepared to ignore the rules on the rare occasions when they conflict with the goal of improving the wiki. | ||
== | == Rhythm Heaven Wiki's expectations == | ||
Rhythm Heaven Wiki is a place where those who are fans of Rhythm Heaven can gather and share their knowledge of the series. We have two goals: The first being the best site to get accurate information on everything and anything to know about the official Rhythm Heaven series, and the second to form a friendly community where fans can gather and discuss with one another, about the series or not. | Rhythm Heaven Wiki is a place where those who are fans of Rhythm Heaven can gather and share their knowledge of the series.

== What we '''do''' expect === | |||
Like the very first Wiki that has originated, we would like to keep the tone in the articles more on the formal side. This will help keep our pages more accurate and less biased, and its just overall easier to read and understand. We want a nice community who is willing to help each other out and edit regularly (Obviously not required but definitely encouraged). | Like the very first Wiki that has originated, we would like to keep the tone in the articles more on the formal side.

* Spamming links to external or non-affiliated sites | |||
* Inserting nonsense/gibberish to pages | |||
* Having intimidating behavior | |||
* Harassing or insulting another user | |||
* Abusing multiple accounts (in other words, "sockpuppetry") | |||
* Creating an account with an unacceptable username | |||
