On Wikipedia, [[w:WP:RFC|RFCs]] are a way to inform a lot of editors when a big decision is being made, so everyone can have their opinions known. Here that's one of the ways we might resolve bigger questions and discussions. Our process will be a lot less formal, but a quick announcement on discord and a Talk Page heading titled "RFC" is often enough.

These are common conventions that should be used on Puzzle Wiki. While Wiki:Style Guide provides guidance for style and grammar, this page provides guidance for proper collaboration etiquette, both individually and as a community.

Ownership

This is a Wiki for and by the entire Puzzle community. No one owns it. While we have a host, admins, moderators, and frequent editors, Puzzle Wiki still belongs to everyone. This also means that pages you edit may be drastically changed by someone else as we keep growing and improving. This is healthy and is how Wikis grow!

Be Bold

Be Bold! If you have a change in mind, go for it! Feel free to make changes, there is no "permission process" involved! Discussing ideas in our Discord server beforehand is always encouraged, but not necessary.

However, not every change we make will work. Be Bold, but if someone else reverts your edit, it's time to discuss! Take it to Discord or the Talk pages. We will have disagreements, but at the end of the day we're a community and we'll find the best solution together!

Consensus

We are a large community, and we'll have authors with different strong opinions on everything! At the end of the day, We follow Consensus on all topics, from small formatting choices to large decisions that impact the entire site. Everyone's opinions count, and we ultimately go with the decision that the most users can agree on. However, this does not mean it's a strict vote. Some decisions will weigh stronger arguments more, but everyone's opinions will always count equally, whether it be an admin, moderator, or regular editor.

Request for Comment

On Wikipedia, RFCs are a way to inform a lot of editors when a big decision is being made, so everyone can have their opinions known. Here that's one of the ways we might resolve bigger questions and discussions. Our process will be a lot less formal, but a quick announcement on discord and a Talk Page heading titled "RFC" is often enough.
