Be positive and constructive when editing or contributing.

Why?

We are a community focused on positivity and collaborative effort. We work better together, and to do that we should be mindful of others and optimistic about our efforts.

Remain civil and thoughtful. Criticize ideas, not people.

Why?

Criticizing ideas is the best way to change the minds of people. Criticizing people is rarely productive in changing their minds or outlooks.

Do not submit content that a reasonable person would find offensive.

Why?

In general, the VNDev.wiki should work to inform people about development of visual novels. While its true that some visual novels have objectionable material inside of them, we choose not to engage with them as a community.

Do not submit hateful imagery or messages, including logos, images, or other graphics that promote or condone hostility or abuse.

Avoid self-promotion in articles. If you wish to discuss promoting your products, resources, or tools, please contact an administrator for opportunities to do so.

Write neutrally. The tone of submissions should be neutral and without bias.

Cite where possible.
