RuneScape Wiki >> Community Hub >> Jagex Wiki Policies

Behind every great wiki is a great community, and RuneScape already has an amazing one with a wealth of game knowledge and experience. Here are some simple, common sense policies that we ask you to bear in mind while using the wiki, to make it the essential, easy-to-use pool of RuneScape information that it should be.

Go Forth & Edit

Is a page missing, incomplete, or just not quite right? What're you waiting for? Go forth and edit! Even the smallest, 5-second edit can make the world of difference. If you've never edited a wiki before, it's really easy to do. To learn more check out our editing guides. JWP:GFE

Follow The Site Rules

The Rules of RuneScape and Terms and Conditions of Jagex apply while using Jagex wikis. Remember these at all times, as breaching them could result in a loss of editing privileges.. JWP:FTSR

Observe The 3rd Edit Rule

If you edit an entry made by another user and they edit it back to the original, do not make a '3rd edit' to switch it back to your version. Use the 'Article Discussion' page to come to an agreement. JWP:O3ER

Stick to The Facts

The wiki is aimed to be reference guide about the RuneScape game and as such any information added to the wiki should be factual and based upon a reliable & verifiable source such as:

• The RuneScape website
• The RuneScape game itself.
• Official communication from Jagex, such as news posts or forum posts.

The exception to this is if you wish to make a page that relates to player run activities or groups, is a non-canon creative work, is a statement of opinion on the game or is in any other way related to RuneScape & its community but is not directly verifiable or intended to be part of the reference guide to the game. If you wish to make such a page you are more than welcome to as long as you clearly identify it as a Community Page.

Content which is not relevant to the reference guide or the community will be considered 'spam' and should not be added. JWP:STTF

Presume Good Intentions

Everyone makes mistakes. Unless a rule has clearly been broken, assume that an edit was made with the best of intentions, even if you don't agree with it. Remember that the overall meaning of a passage is more important than the fine details of language (which can be easily fixed by anyone). JWP:PGI
