 * Lubaf added:
 * Note that this anti-rule is designed as a safety valve, for two purposes: Firstly, if you're new to the wiki and don't know the rules, don't worry too much about breaking them; there's very little you can do that will actually damage the wiki. Secondly, if the rules fundamentally aren't working in a situation, you can use this as a safety valve. Either way, keep in mind that Consensus can override this, and Foundation issues always overrides this.
