Wikipedia policies, guidelines, and essays

 * Note: This is not a comprehensive list. For a comprehensive list see WP:Policies and guidelines. Also, for additional information a few information pages and essays may appear alongside policies and guidelines.


 * Overview
 * Policies and guidelines
 * WP:PILLARS - The five pillars (core policies)
 * Core content policies
 * WP:IAR - Ignore all rules (this one is important but doesn't mean Wikipedia is a free-for-all -- see the essays linked at the bottom of that page)


 * Article/content fundamentals
 * WP:NOT - What Wikipedia is NOT (it is an encyclopedia, but it's not a dictionary, publisher of original thought, soapbox, blog, directory, manual, crystla ball, newspaper, etc.)
 * WP:NPOV - Neutral point of view
 * WP:V - Verifiability
 * WP:NOR - No original research
 * WP:BLP - Biographies of living persons (special rules for these articles)
 * WP:VAN - Vandalism (don't do it)


 * Other article-related policies and guidelines
 * WP:Deletion policy
 * WP:Protection policy - sometimes when articles are frequently vandalized or subject to edit warring, the article is protected in one of a number of ways
 * WP:BEBOLD - Be bold. Wikipedia wants you to be bold with your edits. If you're bold, however, don't be surprised if someone challenges your change (see BRD below)
 * WP:RS - Identifying reliable sources


 * Style
 * WP:MOS - Wikipedia has its own Manual of style
 * Help:Introduction to the Manual of Style - overview/walkthrough of the MOS
 * WP:Article titles
 * WP:Image use policy


 * Community and its interactions
 * Etiquette
 * Expectations and norms of the Wikipedia community
 * WP:CIVILITY - Civility
 * WP:No personal attacks, WP:Harassment, WP:No legal threats - specific rules about types of bad behavior
 * WP:DR - Dispute resolution (if article-related issues cannot be solved with other editors on article talk pages)
 * WP:CONSENSUS - Wikipedia operates by consensus. This is very important.
 * WP:BRD - Bold revert discuss cycle - let's say you make a bold change to an article. If someone disagrees with the change they may revert it (undo it). If so, it's time to discuss the matter on the talk page before making further edits.
 * WP:EDITWAR and WP:3RR - If someone reverts an edit you've made (removes it), do not react by simply readding it before talking about it and seeking consensus on the matter. There are very strict rules on edit warring because it is so disruptive and people are blocked for doing so all the time.

 * Instructor training
 * Training for educators (WP:EDUCATOR) - online orientation which takes the form of a mostly linear series of short pages with basic information about teaching with Wikipedia, basic editing, best practices for using Wikipedia in the classroom, and the courses extension/course pages - instructors recommended to complete before planning a syllabus - Four main modules plus a welcome and topic-specific information: Core, Editing, Classroom, and Course pages
 * Welcome includes some background on the program and what to expect in this training
 * Core is mostly identical to the same module in student training: primarily concerns policies and guidelines. The Five Pillars, Verifiability, Notability, No Original Research, Copyright and Plagiarism - the student version of the plagiarism page is slightly more detailed but otherwise the two are the same
 * Editing is very similar to the same module in student training, but worded/framed differently for instructors including suggestions e.g. "Please remember that even when the students are working in their sandboxes, all Wikipedia copyright and plagiarism policies still apply.": having students train in a computer lab, why students must create an account, username policy, edit button, Visual Editor, the interactive editing tutorial, basic formatting (omits the "more markup" interactive tutorial that students do), citing sources (including the interactive tutorial), talk pages,signatures, the question of whether/what extent to use sandboxes for article development (much more here than in the student training, mostly in the form of "your role as expert" sections at the bottom of each page), watchlists (doesn't mention the dashboard), a little bit about the community, consensus, bold/revert/discuss, and civility (everything after sandboxes is identical to student training, and the instructor training omits the long list of resources students have access to), and a list of resources for where to get help (Help:Contents, Wiki Edu brochures, using talk pages, Cheatsheet, Teahouse, help desk, the help me template, avoiding plagiarism handout, IRC)
 * Asked whether students will be editing medicine-related articles or not. If so, it explains briefly the special sourcing and stylistic issues. If not, it goes through article assessment, WikiProjects, working with the community, etc.
 * The Classroom section is about using Wikipedia in the classroom, including assignment ideas. Goes over learning goals to keep in mind: developing writing skills, media and information literacy, improving critical thinking and research skills, foster collaboration and community of practice, and devleoping technical and communication skills. Some of these learning goals is accompanied by possible assignments. Then moves into the sample syllabus, best practices for choosing articles. Followed by a case study. Includes a week-by-week sample syllabus (click the little number of the week for a different presentation of the week's agenda/materials). Ends with a grading rubric (participation based on 4 assignments in weeks 1-4, participation in discussion, peer reviews and collaboration, presentation and reflective essay, quality of contributions in light of essay). Suggests installing the inspect diff userscript. Provides specific wording for assignment descriptions. Suggests wikilove.
 * Course Pages explains the concept. Explains how to go about getting user rights, using the wizard, adding your institution, etc.

For students

 * Student training
 * Training/For students (or WP:STUDENT - main page for student training, a mostly linear (with a menu) course through many short pages. includes learning objectives, links to resources, videos, interactivity, and a number of valuable practical tips (e.g. "If a sentence begins with This means that..., I think, The Benefits of... or something like it, you're submitting something that probably doesn't belong on Wikipedia."
 * 3 key modules:
 * Core, about policies and guidelines - almost identical to the same module in the instructor training but with slightly more detail on the plagiarism page - The Five Pillars, Verifiability, Notability, No Original Research, Copyright and Plagiarism;
 * Editing, about the technical part of editing and the Wikipedia community - the edit button, creating an account, Visual Editor, the interactive editing tutorial, basic formatting (including an interactive tutorial), citing sources (including the interactive tutorial), talk pages, signatures, using sandboxes to improve or create new articles, watchlists, a little bit about the community, consensus, bold/revert/discuss, civility, and a list of resources for where to get help (Help:Contents, Wiki Edu brochures, using talk pages, Cheatsheet, Teahouse, help desk, the help me template, avoiding plagiarism handout, IRC)
 * between Editing and Advanced are the topic-specific modules): select whether you're working on [|medical or health-related topics] or Training/For students/Other topics 1 something else -- Medical topics have special concerns regarding sourcing and particular stylistic guidelines
 * Advanced, more on editing and picking a topic - choosing an article (tailored for students, advising against overhauling big topics, avoiding controversial areas, not trying to improve high-quality articles, notability issues, essay-like article titles, etc.), Did You Know, good and featured articles, article assessment, adding images, wikilove.

Writing or improving an article

 * Choosing an article


 * Resources for finding subjects to write about
 * Note: Just because something is listed in one of the requested/wanted articles lists doesn't mean it's an appropriate subject for an article. After all, you can add anything you want to some of them. Be sure to look into whether it's notable and to make sure the subject doesn't already exist on Wikipedia under a different name/capitalization/spelling.


 * Requested articles - Anybody can request an article be created here, and these requests are sorted by subject.
 * Most-wanted articles - A list of articles that are linked to often but don't exist (and thus display as a redlink). Note that many of these are red because they've been deleted one or more times in the past. If you click the redlink, look for a box at the top of the page indicating it was deleted. For example, Telly Awards is on the list as I write this, but has been deleted three times before. It would be a bad idea to recreate it unless you really know what you're doing.
 * WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles - Lists of subjects in other encyclopedias which may not yet be covered in Wikipedia. Note that some may not exist for a reason.
 * WP:STUB - Stubs are very short articles ripe for expansion.
 * Category:Stubs - All stubs appear in the stubs category
 * Category:Stub categories - ...and are categorized in the stub categories category (as confusing as that wording is). Going through stubs can be a cumbersome process. There are, as I write this, 1,885,742 total stubs in 13,218 categories!


 * Medicine
 * Editing Wikipedia articles on medicine (Wiki Edu brochure)
 * WikiProject Medicine/How to edit - How-to guide for medical articles
 * WP:MEDRS - Wikipedia has a reliable sources policy, but medical articles have a special set of requirements for sources used


 * Psychology
