Anarchopedia intends to be a large public wiki. Accordingly it will need some policy and perhaps even a sysop power structure to manage itself.
Rather than apply some "absolute-sounding ethic" (even such a seemingly open and anarchically benevolent one as "troll-friendly") to develop any Anarchopedia policy, it seems advisable to rely mostly or only on what Anarchopedia, itself, says about its own purpose and mission. Then the items which are very widely shared, or clearly undesirable, can be listed as specific items of standing policy, or, rejected and listed under Anarchopedia:What Anarchopedia is not.
This method would seem to have at least the imperative integrity of Anarchopedia:Direct democracy - it does not rely on any pre-existing ethical code or wiki ontology that is imposed or defined by anyone other than the ordinary participant. It gains its authority, if any, from the lack of objection or dispute to any policy, as long as there are no inhibitions against offering such objections.
If successful, this form of policy bootstrap would prove that it is quite possible to function without a GodKing or even a representative democracy model, though some sysop power structure/bureaucracy and Anarchopedia:faction/polity should be probably prepared to help any users in conflict as they work towards developing their progressive fiqh, er, policy. ;-)
If you write anything that is proposed or suggested or examined as a potential Anarchopedia Policy, link to this page with the following:
- [[Anarchopedia:Policy]]
Doing so makes it easy to track all such proposed, suggested, or contested policies by clicking what links here.
This will generally help focus policy arguments and avoid misunderstandings.
