1. Background. A wiki (IPA: [ˈ?wiː?.kiː?] <wee-kee> or [ˈ?wɪ?.kiː?] <wick-ey>[1]) is a type of website that allows anyone visiting the site to add, to remove, or otherwise to edit all content, very quickly and easily, sometimes without the need for registration. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for collaborative writing. A wiki system may also include various tools, designed to provide users with an easy way to monitor the constantly changing state of the wiki as well as a place to discuss and resolve the many inevitable issues, namely, the inherent disagreement over wiki content. Wiki content can also be misleading, as users are bound to add incorrect information to the wiki page.

In an effort to limit misleading and inflammatory content, the Dark Brotherhood is developing a Code of Conduct for Wiki Authors and Registered Users.

2. Yardstick. The Yard Stick used to judge a successful Wiki is the community's ability to publish informative material with minimal time and effort spent policing vandalism. Any system of controls established for the Dark Brotherhood Wiki must hold users accountable to Section VII Justice of the Dark Covenant. In addition there must be an identifiable final authority on policy within the Dark Brotherhood Wiki. Policy will be established by setting up templates, correct categories, and information on what can and cannot be submitted.

3. Policy. Registered users will have access to add and edit Wiki Content with Dark Council members serving as subject matter experts and final approving authorities on entries that pertain to their realm of control within the Dark Brotherhood. Registered users will be required to use their Dark Brotherhood name on their registration form when signing up. All users will be held accountable to the Chamber of Justice under Article VII of the Dark Covenant and to the Dark Brotherhood Wiki Etiquette page.

4. Vandalism. Wiki Vandalism will occur. Wiki vandalism is generally defined as editing a wiki in a way that is intentionally disruptive or destructive. There are four generally acknowledged types of vandalism: deletion of legitimate information, insertion of nonsense or irrelevant content, addition of unwanted commercial links (spam), and policy violations specific to that wiki. Dark Brotherhood members who participate in Vandalism will have their content removed, receive a warning, and be added to a list of "known DJBWiki Vandals". Repeat offenders will be sent to the CoJ.

5. Opinion Vs. Fact. Sometimes this is unavoidable, in that the facts stir emotional debates or an opposing viewpoint. However, no member is to use these articles as a lauchpad for their personal vendettas. Creating or editing articles for the purpose of defaming any part of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood will place the offending user on the aforementioned list of known vandals. Repeat offenders will be sent to the CoJ.
