Policies

Policies  have been created on Nerdapedia to advance our goal of creating a freely editable  Angry Video Game Nerd  database.

Policies have community consensus and apply to everyone. We strive to create a welcoming and fun environment for those who are civil to and assume good faith in others, seek consensus in discussions, and work toward the goal of creating an increasingly comprehensive database about everything involving The Nerd and Cinemassacre Productions.

Policies need to be approached with common sense; adhere to the spirit rather than the letter of the rules, and be prepared to ignore the rules on the rare occasions when they conflict with the goal of improving the wiki.

Where do our policies come from?
Nerdapedia's policies come from are based off another wiki's sources:

Most of the policies that fall under the first category are derived from similar practices on other wikis, however, certain wikis who have these policies tend not to have as much conflict or drama and largely stay ontopic and are able to establish a nice and fun enviroment.
 * 1) From a standard or good practice that has been followed subconsciously for some time because it is common sense and has become an established precedent.
 * 2) From a deliberate proposal by a user or a group of users, usually from a forum discussion. Such proposals must achieve full community consensus before being formalized as a policy.
