All users are expected to adhere to the policies of the RuneScape Wikis. If you disagree with any policy, feel free to discuss changes on the forums.

Policies have wide acceptance among editors and describe standards that all users should normally follow. All policy pages can be found at Category:Policies.

Policies

These policies apply to Meta Wiki (this wiki) specifically. Other wikis may have the same or similar policies.

Policy	Summary
Assume good faith	Unless there is conclusive evidence to the contrary, always assume that an editor's actions were an attempt to improve the wiki.
Block policy
Consensus	Consensus is the wiki's model for group decision-making. It seeks the consent, not necessarily the agreement, of the relevant parties.
Don't delete discussions	Don't delete previous discussions.
Don't edit userpages	Under normal circumstances, don't edit someone else's userpage.
Don't feed the trolls	Do not antagonise trolls under any circumstances.
Gaming the system	Use common sense. Don't interpret policies and editors word-for-word.
Personal templates	Customized templates created by users should be in the userspace.
Signatures
Status and opinion-weight	An editor's status, popularity, or in-game experience does not affect the validity of their opinions or anything they may say.
Use common sense	If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining the wiki, use common sense and ignore it.
User treatment policy	Be nice and don't cause unnecessary strife.

Global policies

These policies apply to the "RuneScape" family of Weird Gloop wikis (RuneScape, Old School RuneScape, RuneScape Classic, RuneScape PTBR, and Meta).

Policy	Summary
Generative AI policy	Do not use generative AI to edit the wiki. Unless you are able to attribute outputs from your generative AI project to specific training data (wiki articles that contributed to a particular output, and their authors), then using wiki content as training data is most likely a violation of the CC BY-NC-SA license.
