Esolang:Policy
From Esolang
Esolang is mostly a wiki like any other, but we do have some site specific policies, which are summarized here. Please see the help page for general information on editing, and read the articles to absorb our style.
[edit] Policy summary
- Absolutely no copyrighted content.
- Articles should be on the subject of esoteric programming languages, or about subjects relevant to these, for example computation theory.
- Articles on languages you made yourself are encouraged, unlike for example Wikipedia. However, these may still be mercilessly edited by others. In most cases this is a good thing.
- Please do not add new category pages without discussion.
- General links to language authors should be to standard namespace articles under their real name, if available, rather than to user pages. When linking to a user page, the User: prefix should be visible on the link.
- When in doubt, play it safe and take the path of least resistance, which probably means just forgetting about it and closing your browser. Also, be bold in editing pages.
[edit] Topics under discussion
- Esolang:Categorization: how should language pages be categorized?
- Esolang:Authors: how should esoteric language authors be acknowledged?
