Wikipedia's Key Policies and Guidelines
The Policies and Guidelines are displayed here to act as a well-established & time-tested set of defined principles of rules & best practiced to serve as guidance as Tenth Fleet Wiki is establishing their own. Wikipedia's model(s) do not dictate Policy or Guidelines of Tenth Fleet Wiki, but the inclusion of the broad concepts on this pageserve to give establish direction & organization for TFW as it discovers it's own set of Rules and Best Practices, and to illustrate which areas of Policy or Guidelines TFW has not established for itself, yet (so we're not re-inventing the wheel again).
