Policies and guidelines provides local editorial guidance for the independent Elite Dangerous Wiki. Apply it alongside community standards and existing local policies.

Local authority

Project:Policies lists this wiki's established rules. Project:Community standards provides its core editorial and conduct principles. Guidance pages explain practical application. An imported template, outside website or compatibility shortcut does not establish additional local authority.

Applying guidance

Use relevant evidence and common sense. This is a specialist game wiki: reproducible gameplay observations, game terminology and version-specific documentation need treatment suited to the subject. Do not import another site's committees, warning levels, voting thresholds or automatic sanctions.

Improvements

Discuss substantive changes on the affected policy's talk page, explain the problem and link related guidance. Keep the published wording consistent with actual local processes. Existing policy takes precedence over an informal example. See Project:Consensus and Project:Template index.
