This page is very important to Wikipedia. The nature of the page, however, makes pinning it down as "official" or a "guideline" unhelpful and possibly paradoxical. It has a long tradition, so please think hard about the reasons this page exists before editing or invoking it. |
If the rules frighten and depress you, and discourage you from participating in the Wiki, then ignore them and go about your business.
Just remember that the purpose of Wikipedia is to create an encyclopedia; use common sense, and "don't be a dick".
One rule that this does not apply to is that administrators must not use their powers to unblock themselves, however unjustified the block was.
