Talk:Content Policy

U.S. law takes precedence over California law for most of the issues addressed in this policy, so the policy should reference U.S. law, not California law when that is the case. Rsterbal (talk) 23:00, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

You should create a page and a link to it regarding Wiki Administration
Beyond the scope of this policy is some helpful information about wiki administration. This policy should offer a link to that information. Rsterbal (talk) 23:02, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Translations
I have created a version with translation markup here. Could it please be implemented? MacFan4000 (talk) 16:26, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Controversial content
I already posted this question on Talk:Terms of Use but maybe it was the wrong place.

Basically we plan moving our satyrical encyclopedia here also because our previous host has the tendency of deleting controversial content such as profanity, sex, gore, sexism, racism, mockery, controversial political ideas or social trends, easily offended VIPs etc. We don't post to promote such things, but just to create fun and sometimes insightful content on our society, and the majority of our content is not like that.

So, if we post content like that (but not child pornography nor personal infos about random non-famous people, that's taboo): This is really important for us to know before moving, so if this is the wrong place to ask questions like this too please let me know where. Thanks.--Wedhro (talk) 06:11, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Will you delete/block it, maybe without discussing first (like Wikia does)?
 * Will you always assume the accuser is right and we are wrong (YouTube-style)?
 * In case some lawyers sends a threatening letter (most likely from Italy) or worse, are we somehow protected by the servers being in California/Netherland?
 * Did something like that ever happen to you (any wiki), and how did you deal with it?
 * Keep that in mind, this wiki is not Wikia. We don’t block underage users, as they are harder to detect. O f reporter  Send me a message! 10:59, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This question has been answered here. Not sure what underage users has to do with anything. -- Void  Whispers 15:32, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Impact of UK law
With the recent establishment of Miraheze as a legal entity in the UK, perhaps the policy should reflect adherence to UK law as well. dross (t • c • g) 19:50, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I'll speak to Owen but as far as I know the board are ready with alternate policies as soon as we're at that stage of the migration. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  20:47, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

SEO?
The acronym SEO is used twice in the policy, however, it is never defined what the acronym stands for. Sario528 (talk) 20:59, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

DMCA
DMCA should be spelled out at first occurrence as Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), perhaps with a link to Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Gerdami (talk) 13:45, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Requested edit
Please add this policy to mh:meta:Category:Global policies Musicismylife (talk) 03:04, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Could you elaborate? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 03:42, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

If you didn't realise that I meant to request it be added to a certain category but the page was added to the category due to the way wiki pages work, then I'd recommend you take a second look. Musicismylife (talk) 08:08, 19 September 2021 (UTC) Update: I realise that the page is already in the category, never mind. Musicismylife (talk) 08:10, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It already is ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  08:29, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Did you not see my update? Not trying to be rude, just asking. Musicismylife (talk) 22:45, 19 September 2021 (UTC)


 * No, I was clicked on an old version of the page. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  05:57, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

4.andNonAnarchy
As Oxford dictionary describes Anarchy - the organization of society on the basis of voluntary cooperation, without political institutions or hierarchical government; anarchism...

IMHO this is even desirable type of Wiki governance...so maybe, point 4. should state something like: ''Miraheze does not host wikis that operate without rules and responsibility. This policy requires local administrators to help implement and if needed enforce it, so a wiki where there is no local leadership willing to follow this policy and which declares to have no rules is not compatible with this policy.'' - keeping out the word Anarchy. -- ZBlace (talk) 07:22, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
