Wikipedia:Trifecta

Wikipedia is a encyclopedia created by a community using a wiki. Its three basic natures, outline three basic rules, of which all others are corollaries:

• as an encyclopedia: Neutral point of view - our basic editorial policy
  • Corollaries: Conventions on style, verifiability, citation, deletion, original research, etc.

• as a community: Don't be a dick - our basic social policy
  • Corollaries: Keep your cool, assume good faith, avoid personal attacks.
  • Strongly implied are the one revert rule and consensus as opposed to voting

• as a wiki: Ignore all rules - the suggested personal policy
  • Corollaries: Be bold

Under WP:IAR, this is not proposed policy, but you are welcome to demonstrate that you subscribe to it by adding {{TemplateNameGoesHere}} to your userpage.
