The house rules for this instance. Start at the Help:Contributing hub if you are new here.

The rules

  1. One concept per item — merge duplicates instead of creating near-copies.
  2. Reuse properties — propose a new property only when nothing fits.
  3. Cite your sources — add at least one reference per factual statement; that is what makes it a knowledge base, not just a wiki.
  4. English labels are mandatory — additional languages are welcome (site language: en).
  5. Datatype is forever — double-check the datatype before creating a property.
  6. Ask the admin for an account, for deletions, or to install bulk tools.
  7. Code blocks carry copy — every block-mode <syntaxhighlight> includes copy (see code); inline blocks are the exception.
