 These are guidelines for the implementation of the Wiki's content policies and editorial guidelines.
-==== A. Available Tags: [note: revisit once these are finalised] ====
+Please note that, as per the Wiki's [[Living Persons Policy]], a stricter approach should be taken to the moderation of articles about, or which mention, Living People.
-Articles which are substantially non-compliant with Wiki rules can be marked with the tags described below. The purposes of such flags are twofold: to warn the reader of a potentially low-quality article, and to bring such articles to the attention of admins and other editors, who may improve or remove the article.
-* Stub (for an article which is simply underdeveloped: the content currentlyu within it does not justify its existence, but there is nothing wrong in concept with such an article existing)
+==== A. Available Tags: ====
-* Needs additional verification (for an article that might be basically fine, but is dangerously under-cited, or the citations are very sus. Should only lead to deletion if it's in massive violation of the No Original Reaearch policy, and no good sources exist with which to fix it)
+Articles which are substantially non-compliant with Wiki rules can be marked with the tags described below. The purposes of such flags are twofold: to warn the reader of a potentially low-quality article, and to bring such articles to the attention of admins and other editors, who may improve or remove the article. They can be used by writing "<nowiki>{{TagName}}</nowiki>" at the top of an article in the source editor.
-* Questionable Relevance (for an article that is on the edge of not being relevant, and an editor feels falls foul of the inclusion criteria above. Basically a limbo to put articles in where their merits can be discussed before a descision is made on their deletion)
+* StubNotice (for an article which is simply underdeveloped: the content currently within it does not justify its existence, but there is nothing wrong in concept with such an article existing)
+* Incomplete (for an article that has the potential to be high-quality, but is dangerously under-cited, or the citations are to dubious sources. This shouldonly lead to deletion if it's in violation of the No Original Reaearch policy, or if no good sources exist with which to fix it)
+* Irrelevant (for an article that is on the edge of not being relevant, and an editor feels falls foul of the inclusion criteria above. Basically a limbo to put articles in where their merits can be discussed before a descision is made on their deletion)
+* Garbage (for an article which is clearly irrelevant, spam, or not likely to be improved)
+* ToneWarning (for an article where the tone is significantly non-compliant, and needs major improvement)
