Conlang:Policies

Identity
If you forget to log in before editing, that is fine; however, you should avoid using your IP address and remember to log in as soon as possible before editing, since a username gives you an identity to tie to the conlang in question.

You can edit logged-off, but it's highly discouraged.

Conduct
Please remain civil and refrain from edit wars, abusive language and harassment. If there any disputes, get in touch with an administrator rather than letting them get out hand. As this is a wiki the vast majority of pages can be edited by anyone and so please assume good faith.

English
Although this wiki is open to speakers of all languages, main aritcles and templates should be written in English. Translations of pages from English into another language are allowed as sub-pages (i.e. Conlang X/Language) but the main language should remain English to ensure common understanding.

IPA
Though English is more or less the dominant language on the Internet, pronunciation can vary quite considerably (even among native speakers). There are numerous native English dialects and non-native speakers of English may speak with one of countless accents depending on their native language, degree of knowledge of native English pronunciation and the dialect they try to imitate - because of this IPA should be used to specify the pronunciation of the sounds of your conlang rather than phonetic analogies to other languages' pronunciation, such as "a as in father". Such phonetic comparisons may be added for reference, but only alongside a standard IPA transcription.

For those unfamiliar with IPA (the International Phonetic Alphabet), a detailed article can be found on Wikipedia and to listen to the sounds of IPA go see here.
