Like most wikis, [[Pikipedia:About|Pikipedia]] has a set of '''policies and guidelines''' that help organize the wiki, solve conflicts, and maximize the wiki's quality. Policies are standards that should be followed to make sure the wiki does not go out of control. Guidelines are just hints on how to polish an article; they aren't mandatory, but following them makes the wiki all the cleaner and more organized. | Like most wikis, [[Pikipedia:About|Pikipedia]] has a set of '''policies and guidelines''' that help organize the wiki, solve conflicts, and maximize the wiki's quality.

The purpose of the policies and guidelines is to explain what to do in ambiguous cases. So, just because a policy or guidelines doesn't say you should do X, it doesn't mean you ''should'' do X. Just because there's no policy about writing in all capital letters doesn't mean you should start doing it. In addition, editors are assumed to use a bit of common sense when simply using the site. For instance, the mainspace pages have objective ''Pikmin'' content, and talk pages are the place to go to discuss things personally. | The purpose of the policies and guidelines is to explain what to do in ambiguous cases.
