== Illegal and out of scope content == | |||
Any kind of content that promotes or encourages activities illegal in the {{#simple-tooltip:Netherlands or California|This is where Miraheze's servers are located.}} is strictly forbidden. Additionally, any page that is not related to LGBTQIA+ topics or to this wiki is considered "out of scope" and will be deleted without further notice. | Any kind of content that promotes or encourages activities illegal in the {{#simple-tooltip:Netherlands or California|This is where Miraheze's servers are located.}} is strictly forbidden.

== About LGBTQIA+ content == | |||
Not all LGBTQIA+ content is allowed. This wiki is about nonbinary identities specifically, which means that articles about identities that are not directly related to nonbinary identities are likely to be deleted. For example, [[transgender]] is allowed because, even if not all trans people are nonbinary, some of them are. However, articles describing sexual orientations like ''homosexual'' or ''asexual'' are only allowed if they focus on the way they affect nonbinary people. | Not all LGBTQIA+ content is allowed.

== Giving advice and complements == | |||
As a wiki, our content should be as objective as possible. As an exception, advice can be included in articles about [[practical resources]]. We consider a "complement" any element of an article that is not part of the article text itself. Currently, this includes images, videos, personal quotes and side templates. The following points should be kept in mind when adding or editing them: | As a wiki, our content should be as objective as possible.

== Notability == | |||
Because of the lack of representation, the Nonbinary Wiki is not as strict regarding references as other wikis (such as Wikipedia). Blogs and other social media may be used as references if they are the only available source. If an identity is [[Nonbinary Wiki:Uncommon identities|considered uncommon]], it should be tagged with the {{tl|uncommon identity}} template, but it should not be deleted unless it's clearly a joke or false information. | Because of the lack of representation, the Nonbinary Wiki is not as strict regarding references as other wikis (such as Wikipedia).

This policy is only partially enforced in pages outside the main namespace. Pages with a namespace prefix (mostly ''Nonbinary Wiki:'', ''User:'' or ''talk:'') shouldn't containt illegal or out of scope content either, but the rest of the policy is not applied.

Pages with a namespace prefix (mostly ''Nonbinary Wiki:'', ''User:'' or ''talk:'') shouldn't containt illegal or out of scope content either, but the rest of the policy is not applied. Here is a general usage guide for content namespaces: | ||
* ''Nonbinary Wiki'': pages detailing policies, guides or any kind of content that affects the project as a whole should go here. Examples: [[Nonbinary Wiki:General discussion]] or [[Nonbinary Wiki:Publications]]. | |||

* ''Template'': pages in this | *''Help'': this namespace can contain help pages. We currently have no local help pages. If you need help, you can read the [[:mw:Help:Editing_pages|MediaWiki official documentation]]. | ||
* ''Category'': content on this | *''Template'': pages in this namespace can easily be transcluded into other articles, meaning that their content can appear in multiple pages and be immediately updated when the template page is updated too. Examples: [[Template:Stub]] and [[Template:Side list]] | ||
* ''User'': user pages are the personal page that all registered users have. Every user is free to add the content they feel that is best for their user page. It is a bad practice to edit another user's page without their permission. | *''Category'': content on this namespace should be kept at minimum, as it is used to keep an organized index of all wiki pages. Any page containing a wiki link to a category will automatically appear indexed in that category. Examples: [[:Category:Maintenance]] and [[:Category:Nonbinary identities]]. | ||

*''* talk'': talk pages are where wiki users can talk about their associated main pages. Article talk pages are just marked with ''talk:'', but pages of any other namespace are called "namespace talk:TITLE". For example: ''User talk: Foobar''. | |||
