'''Online Communipedia''' is a wiki that aims to provide information on the '''history, governance, and policies''' of '''[[Project:Inclusion criteria|certain]]''' online video game communities. | |||
== Content pillars == | |||
=== History === | |||
Online Communipedia aims to, with [[P:NPOV|'''neutrality''']] and [[P:VERIFY|'''verification''']], faithfully document the events of significance and cultural norms for each community. Controversies, community-wide events, transfers of power, "in" jokes, and so on. | |||
The purpose for this is to create a permanent digital footprint of the community, as if or when the community "passes away" the only evidence of their existence is usually in the memories of those that were there. It also serves as useful research material for community leaders, current or prospective. | |||
=== Governance === | |||
Online Communipedia aims to report on the structure used by those with power in a community. This generally, but not always, takes the form of a "ladder" of "ranks", with those higher on the ladder having broader authority and access to information. | |||
The aim in reporting on this information is two-fold. Firstly, it allows members of the community to understand how their own "government" works, as it is rarely explained to those not participating in it. Secondly, it allows community leaders a means of being exposed to varying governance styles and thus allow them to make more informed decisions on how they want their own communities to function. | |||
=== Policies === | |||
* | |||
* ''Governance'' - This project aims to explain how the governance structure adopted by each community functions. | |||
* ''Policies'' - This project aims to report on what rules or guidelines are enforced by each community. | |||
