==Policies and Guidelines== | |||
{{Main|WikiIslam:Policies and Guidelines}}Over the course of many years, WikiIslam has developed a comprehensive and ever evolving set collection of policies and guidelines to help administer, guide, and set expectations for the work of its editors. These policies and guidelines define everything from the specific sort of [[WikiIslam:Scope and Article Relevance|content considered appropriate]] to the wiki (its scope), [[WikiIslam:Writing Style Guide|writing style]], citation [[WikiIslam:Citing, Linking, and Quoting|format]] and [[WikiIslam:Reliable Sources|standards]], [[WikiIslam:Structure|article structure]], [[WikiIslam:Source Editing|source-editing practices]] (Wikitext), [[WikiIslam:Talk Pages|guidelines for talk pages]], [[WikiIslam:Pending Changes Protection|pending changes protection practices]], [[WikiIslam:Assume Good Faith|good faith practices]], and the wiki's [[WikiIslam:General disclaimer|legal disclaimers]]. | |||
WikiIslam's admins enforce the above policies, and editors and visitors are encouraged to either report deviations from these standards to those better situated to correct them or to correct the error or violation themselves (by [[WikiIslam:Contact Us|requesting an account]] if needed). | |||
