; What constitutes a policy, and what constitutes a guideline?
As per Wikipedia's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_policies_and_guidelines#Terminology terminology], policy and guideline are defined as follows:
Policy
* A '''policy''' documents a rule or standard with wide acceptance among Wikipedia editors that all users should normally follow.
Guideline
* A '''guideline''' is a set of best practices that are supported by the consensus of Wikipedia editors. Editors should attempt to follow guidelines, though they are best treated with common sense. Occasional exceptions may apply. Naming conventions are considered guidelines.
These definitions are the standards used to determine where current and future policies and guidelines find themselves within this document, if they don't already fall within Wikipedia's key [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikipedia_policies_and_guidelines policies and guidelines] table.
