PvXwiki Policy

This article is designed to act as a portal to the various other policy pages. It also describes the method of adding and changing PvXwiki policy.

Current Well Established Policies

Administrative Policies

  • PvXwiki:Administrators: Administrators are not all-powerful beings. They have limited powers just like any other user. This policy outlines those powers.
  • PvXwiki:Administrate users, not content: Administrators are not above other users in knowledge of content.
  • PvXwiki:Autoconfirmed users: Outlines the requirements for becoming an autoconfirmed user, which is required to vote on builds.
  • PvXwiki:Evaluating Administrators Describes the evaluation of administrators upon promotion, and re-evaluation of admins at any time.
  • PvXwiki:Meta Caretakers A position that is responsible for keeping our GvG and HA sections up to date.
  • PvXwiki:Requests for adminship: The process by which future administrators are nominated, voted upon, and selected.

Content Policies

Build-Specific Policies

  • PvXwiki:Build Deletion: Details the two primary reasons for which builds are deleted: because they are inferior or because they are unfavored.
  • PvXwiki:Editing Builds: Distinguishes when a build should be edited, by whom it can be edited, and what should be edited, in order to allow for the dynamic nature both of a wiki and of real vetting. Also provides links to style guidelines that relate both to build creation and build formatting and details the manner in which builds should be named.
  • PvXwiki:Real Vetting: How to vote on builds. This is one of the most important policies on the site and the one every user should make sure they are familiar with.

Conflict Policies

Archived Policies

These policies were standard at one point but fell out of favour. A list of all archived policies may be found here.

Guidelines

Policy Guidelines

There exist on PvXwiki a series of policy guidelines that are more advisory in nature than policies. While they are not binding in the same manner as policies, users should nevertheless strive to follow them where appropriate. A list of policy guidelines may be found here.

Style Guidelines

In addition to policy guidelines, there are also a set of guidelines that govern how articles on the Wiki should be formatted. Users, both new and old, are encouraged to read these style guides to ensure a high quality of articles in the Wiki. A list of style guidelines may be found here.

Proposed Policies

Proposing a New Policy

In order to create a new policy proposal, users should follow these two simple steps:

Revisiting Policies

Proposing Revisions

In order to propose a revised policy, users should follow these three simple steps:
