Adding policies and guidelines or changing existing ones

If you would like to propose a new policy/guideline or changes to existing ones, please create a topic in the Wiki policy discussion forum. Once the discussion has led to a final draft, call a vote. A minimum of 10 registered editors need to participate in the vote for it to be valid; a simple majority is sufficient to pass. The administrators may veto a policy; this should only be done sparingly and for good reasons.
