We should probably add this somewhere: [[:Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Five pillars]] and add that besides Wikia and our own policies we also try to follow Wikipedia's policies when able.

#The Sims Wiki is an encyclopedia. It incorporates elements of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers. The Sims Wiki is not a soapbox, an advertising platform, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, or a web directory. It is not a dictionary, newspaper,<ref name=questionable>Should we allow this?</ref> a collection of source documents<ref name=questionable>Should we allow this?</ref> or a creative medium;<ref>better wording?</ref> that kind of content should be contributed instead to the The Sims Fanon Wiki.
#The Sims Wiki has a neutral point of view. We strive for articles that advocate no single point of view. Sometimes this requires representing multiple points of view, presenting each point of view accurately and in context, and not presenting any point of view as "the truth" or "the best view". All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy: unreferenced material may be removed, so please provide references. Editors' personal experiences,<ref name=questionable2>We rely on this to a certain extent, but it could also be interpreted as a player story.</ref> interpretations, or opinions do not belong here. That means citing verifiable, authoritative sources, especially on controversial topics and when the subject is a living person. When conflict arises over neutrality, discuss details on the talk page, and follow dispute resolution.
#The Sims Wiki is free content that anyone can edit and distribute. Respect copyright laws. Since all your contributions are freely licensed to the public, no editor owns any article; all of your contributions can and will be mercilessly edited and redistributed.
#Wikiapedians should interact in a respectful and civil manner. Respect and be polite to your fellow Wikiapedians, even when you disagree. Apply etiquette, and avoid personal attacks. Find consensus, avoid edit wars, and remember that there are {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles on the English Sims Wiki to work on and discuss. Act in good faith, never disrupt The Sims Wiki to illustrate a point, and assume good faith on the part of others. Be open and welcoming.
#The Sims Wiki does not have firm rules besides the five general principles presented here. Be bold in updating articles and do not worry about making mistakes. Your efforts do not need to be perfect; prior versions are saved, so no damage is irreparable.
