Wikipedia's Key Policies and Guidelines [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines Wikipedia: Policies and guidelines Wikipedia's Five Pillars
- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia
- Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view
- Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute
- Wikipedia editors should treat each other with respect and civility
- Wikipedia has no firm rules
- What constitutes a policy, and what constitutes a guideline?
As per Wikipedia's 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 policies and guidelines table.
