Battlestar Wiki:Policy

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
This page is one of Battlestar Wiki's many projects.
This page serves to coordinate discussion on a particular aspect of this Wiki. The formal recommendations of a project may be treated as policies.


This is a listing of all the policy's on this Battlestar Wiki and what a policy can enforce. Please note that many projects can be considered polices because of their unique ability to set formal recomendations, in a project form, and not in policy form, which is not updated as often. (i.e. Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions is a project, but is enforcable.)

What is a Policy?

Project-Policy

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 {{Project}} tag, could still fall under this page's rules and guidelines. It's all depending on what the project goal is when trying to determine if it is a legitimate project-policy page. Even though anyone can create a project, it does not make it an official policy just because it was created. It still has to go through the policy procedures to become an official policy. A current listing of project-policy pages that are also official policies are listed below.

Policy

A policy on Battlestar Wiki is a document that was created to set procedures or to make an "official" act based on what is needed for this Wiki. Some of the policies might be the same (i.e. Battlestar Wiki:Candidates for deletion vs Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion) but still have some slight changes in the wording and procedures for operatating. The reason for this is because Battlestar Wiki does not have users vs. Wikipedia user base of 100,000+.
