Access to information varies based on both the community's genre and on the position a person has in it. A competitive community make restrict access to tactics, future activities, or training to only those in the relevant teams. A community that hosts servers may restrict access to disciplinary documents because it has personally identifiable information, may make the community look bad when taken out of context, or is otherwise hidden to maintain trust in the community's discretion in handling sensitive matters.  
Access to information varies based on both the community's genre and on the position a person has in it. A competitive community may restrict access to tactics, future activities, or training to only those in the relevant teams. A community that hosts servers may restrict access to disciplinary documents because it has personally identifiable information, may make the community look poorly as it'll be taken out of context, or it is restricted to maintain trust in the community's discretion in handling sensitive matters.  


It is plausible that individuals with access such as described above may participate in this project. Therefore, '''no information regarding a community may be added ''<u>anywhere on this project</u>'' that is not available to someone with general membership in the relevant community'''. If access to information requires appointment to a particular position or user group via any method the content is ''prohibited'' to be included, and [[Project:Administrators|administrators]] may perform revision deletion to hide it from page history.
'''No information regarding a community may be added ''<u>anywhere on this project</u>'' that is not available to someone with <u>general membership</u> in the relevant community'''. "General membership" is defined as access to information that does not require appointment to a named position or user group via any method. Access to information that ''does'' require appointment is considered to be outside the scope of "general membership". If such information is discovered or reported, [[Project:Administrators|administrators]] may remove it and perform revision deletion to remove it from page history.
 
Conversely, community leaders may not petition the Online Community Wiki to remove information that they do not wish to be displayed. If the information is in line with our content policies and relevant laws, unless there is a consensus amongst editors to remove it, it may remain. Community leaders are similarly not able to circumvent this policy by retroactively concealing information that was once available to the general member base; if it was ever available to the member base, it may remain.

Otherwise, editors may remove it, and it may not be restored until it is cited. If the information cannot be cited, it is inappropriate for inclusion on this project.
