A wiki has '''{{wp|Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|policies}}''' to describe best practices, clarify principles, resolve conflicts, and otherwise further our goal of creating a free, reliable encyclopedia. There is no need to read any policy or guideline pages to start editing.
Policies are rules on the wiki that all users should follow. Further information can be found at [[Help:Contents]] and the policy pages on [[mh:meta:Category:Policies|Meta]].
 
Although there are generally not any hard-and-fast rules, policies are standards that all users should normally follow, with guidelines providing guidance in specific contexts. Policies and guidelines should be applied using reason and common sense. Technically, the policy and guideline pages are not the policy and guidelines in and of themselves. The actual policies and guidelines are behaviors practiced by most editors.
 
These are the policy pages used on the wiki. Further information can be found at [[Help:Contents]] and the policy pages on [[mh:meta:Category:Policies|Meta]].
