Contributors guide
This page outlines the goals and member expectations in the DGF project. This follows some of the principles established by Wikipedia: Be bold, but not reckless[1] when editing this wiki.
However, our goals and therefore our approach are very different from Wikipedia's. We are advertising our project through this DGF wiki. We do encourage and reward original contributions. We are conducting experiments in democracy.
To this end, if you wish to make a significant change to the direction of the project, make a proposal in the relevant discussion page following the current standards for voting (timelines for deliberation, number of votes being tightly or loosely coupled, and deadlines) and referencing.

Credit[edit | edit source]
Please sign in, so we can recognize and attempt to reward any surviving contributions to pages you edit. Pseudonymous identities are supported to protect members’ privacy. Trolling and graffiti with valuable criticism – comments which eventually result in platform improvement – will be rewarded. Doxing of any type will be punished with loss of REP. The proper way to police the community and encourage healthy communication is by filtering content.

Notes & References[edit | edit source]
- ↑ "If you spot an error, correct it. If you can improve an article, please do so. Many new editors feel intimidated about contributing at first, fearing they may make a mistake. Such reticence is understandable but unfounded. The worst that can happen is that your first edits are deemed not to be an improvement and they get reverted. If this does occur, treat it as a positive learning experience and ask the reverting editor for advice. It is important, however, to distinguish boldness from recklessness. Start off small. Begin by making minor modifications to existing articles before attempting a complete rewrite of previous contributions." Use the discussion pages to come to consensus with other contributors.
