Global policies

Miraheze has global policies which apply to all users and wikis and others which apply only to certain users. For readability, this page groups them into different categories.

Some policies (namely those in the 'Groups' category) apply specifically only to those who are within that group. Apart from those, all others apply to all users and all wikis on Miraheze and no wiki may be exempted from them.

This page is informational only. There may be other policies not covered by this page which may also be global policies.
