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 specific teams. A roleplay community may restrict access to conversations and objectives that are only meant for members of specific organizations, such as the police or criminal enterprises. | Access to information varies based on both the community's genre and on the position a person has in it.

Conversely, community leaders may not petition Online Communipedia to remove information simply because they do not wish the information to be displayed. 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, unless it is clear that the revealing of that information was in error ''and'' it was hastily rectified. | Conversely, community leaders may not petition Online Communipedia to remove information simply because they do not wish the information to be displayed.

=== Private communities === | |||
{{Shortcut|P:PCOMM}}Communities that have an '''explicit''' statement of intent to remain privately accessible to individuals which meet certain criteria, such as having a manually reviewed application, fall within the scope of this policy. This does ''not'' apply to communities wherein access to material is granted <u>automatically</u> upon some kind of registration or upon acceptance of an invitation (e.g Discord). The number of individuals who are counted as members of such communities, or the laxness of their criteria as evaluated by editors of Online Communipedia, is wholly immaterial to this policy. | |||
Communities of which meet the conditions of being considered private may not have articles created about them '''in whole''', and any information about them that is not accessible '''to the general public''' posted '''''<u>anywhere on this project</u>''''' shall be revision deleted by an administrator upon review of a report or upon discovery. | |||
