Suggested policies and guidelines[edit]

  1. Unlike the original Wikipedia, CWikipedia is censored;
  2. CWikipedia is a Kids’ Corner, not a Speakers’ Corner;
  3. Harassment, intimidating behavior, and swearing on CWikipedia will make CWikipedia users in trouble;
  4. Edit warring will make you (as a CWikipedia user) in trouble if:
    1. The 3RR (or three-revert-rule) is violated on unprotected pages;
    2. The 1RR (or one-revert rule) is violated on semi-protected pages; or
    3. The 0RR (or zero-revert-rule) is violated on 30/500-protected pages;
  5. CWikipedia is, like the original Wikipedia, not a crystal ball, cookbook, or dictionary;
  6. Euphemisms, peacock terms, weasel words, clichés, idioms, ‘person or office?’ things, editorializing, contentious labels, expressions of doubt, neologisms, synonyms for ‘said’, unspecified places or events, new compounds, and ‘is/was survived by’ must be used with caution on CWikipedia;
  7. Every article on CWikipedia must follow the Manual of Style on the original Wikipedia;
  8. Personal attacks directing to editors are not allowed;
  9. Vandalism (subtle or blatant) will be reverted by CWikipedia users who are at least rollbacks;
  10. Adding non-compliant colors or Islamic honorifics (without a reason) to a CWikipedia page is forbidden; and
  11. Spreading nasty gossip about another user (e.g. spreading a death hoax) on CWikipedia is known as libel and will not be tolerated.

Suggested sanctions[edit]

See w:WP:WARN and w:WP:BLOCK for more on the suggested punishments for CWikipedia users breaking the rules.

For minor violations of the policies/guidelines, CWikipedia users will be given 4 warnings before blocks; for moderate violations of them, they will be given a warning before a block; for major violations of them, they will be given an extended block which can become permanent if it happens multiple times on CWikipedia.
