These principles help keep the wiki useful, respectful, and welcoming:

Try things. Learn by doing.
Share what you know.
Unique insights are more valuable than perfect formatting. Someone else can fix spelling or grammar.
Use clear, international English. Avoid slang or regional expressions.
Avoid violent, aggressive, or overly colorful language.
This is not a place to argue or convince others.
Experimental data is welcome — but label it clearly as your own findings and conclusions, not as established fact.
When editing existing pages, preserve the original meaning and implications unless you're confident in the change.
