Policies are the backbone of the wiki. Like guidelines and rules, all users, regardless of status and position, are expected to follow them. None of these policies are ever set in stone, however. Anyone who disagrees with a policy is welcome to suggest changes at the local moderator/sysop. Here is a listing of our current policies:
User Policies
- All Editors Are Equal Policy - All editors, regardless of status and position, are treated equally and have the same amount of say in their opinion.
- Assume Good Faith Policy - Unless it is obvious vandalism, always assume that a user's contributions to the wiki are to improve it.
- User Treatment Policy - Be considerate and not disruptive.
Page and File Policies
- Granularity Policy Just about everything that is directly mentioned in Red Dead Redemption gets covered on this wiki.
- Impersonal "You" Policy - Avoid using the impersonal you when editing articles. Instead use the third person singular form or third person plural form.
- Naming Policy - Pages are named as they are in the game. If the article is about a character; simply title the page with the character's first name (if given) and last name.
Community Policies
- Don't Delete Discussions - Do not remove discussion from a talk page unless it is blatant vandalism. This policy applies to user talk pages as well.
- Ignore All Rules Policy - Use common sense first and then see if a policy applies to the situation in question.
- Spoiler Policy - The wiki is an encyclopedia, and as such, certain information contained in articles might spoil storyline in the game. Read at your own risk.
