MicroWiki Content policy is a policy, which states what belongs on MicroWiki articles and what does not.

Article content

• Articles must be strictly micronational, about micronational culture, politics, companies, relations and organizations.
  • Articles that are not micronational shall be deleted. The decision not to remove the article depends solely on the sysop team.
• Articles about wars, cyber-wars, territorial disputes or conflicts are strictly forbidden.
• Galleries are strictly forbidden from articles about micronations.
  • You may only document your involvement in these so-called "wars" on your nation's article.
• Articles are to be regarded as finished after posting, unless they are marked as a work in progress. Work in progress articles are to be protected for seven days only from poor quality deletion.
• Articles are not your own personal websites! Do not write them like so (do not write in second or third person). We are an encyclopedia, not a web-hosting service.

Article management

• Article management is a concept which guarantees the article creator or the leader of said micronation to remove content added by any non-sysop user, excluding templates to notify the author or administration about the article (deletion, poor quality, improvement, etc), general fixes such as typos, or removing contested claims (author must provide something to verify them).
  • This rule guarantees that non-sysops cannot add information about an article which they do not manage themselves, unless the content is verifiable.
  • This rule does not consider general articles, such as Currency, or articles about well-known micronations, such as Wy or Sealand (the only exception being Austenasia, which's representative is a semi-active user on this wiki).
• Content that is appropriately sourced cannot be removed from the article.
  • The Sysop team decides what is properly sourced.
• In case the author of the article is long time inactive and the micronation appears to be defunct, the article should be left as is and no new content should be added, unless the articles needs general fixes or is of a poor quality.

Terms

• General fixes (genfixes) - includes fixing typos, restructualization, adding infoboxes, removing "The" in the article heading, etc. - withount changing the meaning of the content.
• Adding warning templates (delete, improve...) - to prevent template wars, new template of this type should not be added within the official removal by the sysop team within seven days. If the article content has changed by a large margin, new warning template can be added immedietally.
• Proper references - references to related content, preferably by a third party. Please use references in the Wikipedia style. Remember, properly referencing your article does not mean dubious claims may not be removed!

Verifiability

• Articles should be verifiable. We aim to become an encyclopedia with truthful information about the micronational phenomenon.
• For example, if you claim your micronation was founded in 666 AD during an intergalactic space war between the Martians and the Loch Ness Monster, with help from the Doctor from the long-running British Sci-Fi Series "Doctor Who". The claim will definitely be contested. Unless you can provide actual indisputable proof (for a minor claim, as the example provided has no way of being proved)
• Everything can be contested, from claims to population and laws.
