'''Project-Policy''' pages on ''Battlestar Wiki'' take the form of something that tons of people work on. However, sometimes certain projects can also be policies. This can get confusing. Those projects, though marked with the {{tl|Project}} tag, could still fall under this page's rules and guidelines. It all depends on the project's goal when trying to determine if it is a legitimate project-policy page. Even though anyone can create a project, the mere creation of a policy page does not make it an official policy. It still has to go through the policy procedures to become an official policy. | '''Project-Policy''' pages on ''Battlestar Wiki'' take the form of something that tons of people work on.
