To find particular policies, see Category:Wikipedia policies. To find particular guidelines, see Category:Wikipedia guidelines. To find Wikipedia rules, well, you're lookin' at it, joker. Just read down the freakin' page and quit botherin' me.

Not every good idea, edit or proposal in, on, or about Wikipedia is covered by a policy or guideline. Or even common practice or prior consensus. Don't let that stop you. For those who absolutely, positively require some rule, regulation, mandate, guideline or policy to act, baby, this page is for you.

Subsection II

Paragraph 4: (a) There is no content to clause (a). (b) There is no content to clause (b). (c) There is no content to clause (c). (d) There is no content to clause (d). (e) The Secret to Life: There is content to clause (e), but we're not gonna tell you. (f) There is no content to clause (f). (g) There is no content to clause (g). ... [yadda, yadda, yadda] ... (q) Fun: Among the noble motives for flying through the air in a trapeze is having a little harmless fun. Same for Wikipedia. Those who discourage fun should be able to cite either policies or guidelines or give a commonsense or otherwise reasonable explanation for why some edit, action or conduct is harmful to the encyclopedia, its editors or its readers. And by the way, keep those three words in mind: a little (not an enormous, distracting amount), harmless (nobody gets hurt in any way, shape or form), fun (actual fun, not doing what you want and calling it "fun"). Capisce?
