These are a set of principles to apply when reasonable, rather than a list of hard rules that must always be followed. | BG3.wiki's '''Editing Policy''' is a set of guidelines for editors to follow when contributing to the wiki.

== What is wiki consensus? == | |||
Consensus is the end result of productive discussion. It is not the result of a vote or the most popular opinion, but rather the end result of productive discussion and debate regarding the best practices for the wiki. | |||
A consensus is never permanent, complete or unquestionable, and may always change following new discussion. | |||
Consensus should not be confused for convention – a way things are usually done on the wiki. Sometimes, the wiki convention may inform the consensus, whereas other times, a decision is reached that goes against current convention. | |||
In the case of disputes and conflicts, it is always the goal to reach a consensus to improve the wiki, rather than following a list of arbitrary rules. | |||
