Wii Wiki Policies
Here is the page for Wii Wiki policies. Basically, assume good faith, stay on topic, be respectful, don't vandalize, and don't misinform.
Pages[]
Page merges[]
Short topics might be merged to be in one page, for example the EULA, Region Select, and Address Settings articles were merged into the Hidden Channels page because they were too short.
Page protection[]
Pages will be protected if there are "edit wars" or unsettled disputes. Pages will also be locked if they are having high traffic, such as Main Page and this page.
Page deletions[]
Content that isn't directly related to the Wii will get removed. Homebrew apps and games are left to their own individuals wikis, such as WiiBrew. Unused redirects will get deleted if they serve no purpose. Files will get deleted if they are given takedown notices.
Sources[]
Only official websites and trusted databases should be used as references, such as an archived Nintendo webpage, an article from a widely known news source, or a database such as GameTDB.
