Uweb:Community Standards
From Uweb
Please see the Uweb_talk:Community Standards Discussion Page. This is where discussion of these standards and related Policies should show.
Preface: In a large Wiki environment like WikiPedia with many thousands of daily users, democracy can rule because there's enough eyes on a particular page to weed out spam, formatting mistake, and incorrect edits. The Editor Group (Nominated members of the UWeb Mailing List) checks recent page edits to flag pages that need administrative action, monitors the ToDo namespace and discussions, and reformats pages that need to be edited for formatting or other mistakes.
Community members have a part in policing the wiki as well. If you see something that needs to be flagged, please follow the guidelines below. You're also encouraged to monitor pages you like for content on a regular basis.

Please Do's
- Categorize pages you create. See: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category
- UWeb:Community Flagging
- Keep a regular eye on pages that are near and dear to your heart. (And if you do this, the Discussion tab up next to 'edit' is a great way to say you're doing this.)
- Link to topics of interest from main pages. For instance, from a Linux page, you could list services that are commonly run and how to start them on different distributions.
Please Don'ts
Wiki Etiquette
- Add information that you're not sure is correct.
- Extensively edit a page without first asking in the Discussion tab.
- Put information that should be on a subpage on the Main Page. (i.e. specific events should be in Events.)
Topics
- Macs are not better than PCs, nor is Linux better than Windows in a server environment. Please keep platform politics to a different forum.
