This wiki is a collaborative space for accurate and well-organized information.
All contributions should be factual, well-written, and relevant to the wiki’s topic.
Respect all contributors and maintain a positive, welcoming environment.

2. Content Guidelines

Accuracy: Ensure all information is correct and well-sourced where applicable. Avoid speculation and false claims.
Neutrality: Articles should be written from a neutral perspective, avoiding personal bias or opinions.
No Plagiarism: Do not copy content from other sources without proper permission and attribution.
Appropriate Language: Keep content professional and free from offensive, hateful, or inappropriate language.

3. Editing Rules

Constructive Edits: Improve clarity, grammar, and accuracy without removing valid information.
No Vandalism: Do not add false, misleading, or disruptive content.
Citations & Sources: When possible, provide sources for claims, especially for historical or technical topics.
Major Changes: For significant edits (e.g., restructuring pages, deleting sections), discuss them on the article’s talk page first.

4. Community Behavior

Be Respectful: Treat all users with respect, even in disagreements.
No Harassment: Personal attacks, discrimination, or bullying will not be tolerated.
Resolve Conflicts Properly: Use discussion pages or moderators to resolve disputes rather than edit wars.
Stay On-Topic: Keep discussions relevant to the wiki’s subject matter.

5. Administrative Policies

Moderator Decisions: Admins and moderators have the final say in disputes and rule enforcement.
Reporting Issues: Report vandalism, rule violations, or other issues to moderators instead of engaging directly.
