Conservapedia:Quick reference

NOTE: This is a draft and has not yet been officially endorsed.

This is a general guide to editing on Conservapedia, with particular reference to ways that Conservapedia differs to what editors may be used to on other sites using Wiki software.

Some of these peculiarities are due to Conservapedia being the focus of myriad vandals wanting to undermine or destroy the conservative point of view.

Purpose

Conservapedia is a Wiki-based encyclopedia coming from a conservative point of view, and does not pretend to be neutral, but does strive to be accurate and fair, and allow other points of view. It is also designed to be a useful resource for students and therefore a family-friendly one, which means that some topics will not be allowed.

Rules governing use

The Commandments and guidelines govern your conduct on Conservapedia.

The Commandments and guidelines are deliberately kept brief, and the Administrators have broad discretion to protect pages from editing and block or ban editors for defying the spirit as well as the letter of the Commandments and guidelines.

Moving pages

The ability to move (rename) pages is only available to Administrators (sysops). Please ask one if you would like a page moved.

Images

All images have been protected from editing, to prevent vandals replacing images with offensive images.

Additionally, the ability to upload images has also been restricted to Administrators by default, but the ability is also made available to editors who have demonstrated that they are not here to vandalise.

Templates

Conservapedia requires that all templates that you create are properly documented.
