Hello everyone, just thought I'd let you all know that we have written some changes to our policies. A complete list of all policies can be found here.
Changes for today include:
- A new policy was added to our Article Creation/Development Guidelines.
- A rewrite to the majority of our Images/Media Guidelines.
- In general, avoid taking copywritten pictures/media from the internet for use on the RSRP wiki without conforming to the copyright or CC conditions applied to that media.
- Any images/media obtained from external sources must be cited on that media's file page by linking back to the original source of the image/media or formally attributing the media to its origin in writing.
- It is advised (but not enforced) that editors make an effort to use entirely original or open-source media when adding to an article so as to protect wikia legitimacy and avoid copyright hassles altogether.
- A new policy was added to our guide articles guidelines.
- Guide articles must not be designed to host transient information. That is, guides may not be written with in-character information that will eventually become inaccurate either over time or as the population and leadership of the RSRP community changes. Articles must be able to survive without constant maintenance.
I thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding. This has been a public service announcement.
