Viking+Code

The Viking Code for Wikis is our attempt to create a code of conduct for wikispace members.

It is inspired by The Viking Way and Wikipedia's [|Pillars].


 * 1: Keep the Community Strong!** Wikispaces only succeed when people help build something greater than they could ever do alone. That means people need to feel welcome and appreciated. Treat each other with consideration. Play nice! Give compliments when they are due! Thank people when they add something good! Give credit where credit is due! You can be hard-nosed about the ideas, but don't be rough with each other!


 * 2: Be Creative! (Not A Thief!)** We want to create a great internet destination, but we cannot do that by ripping off other people's work. They deserve to be a great internet destination too! Link to great work that you find, but don't grab it and paste it here! If you want images, use images in the public domain, or make your own!


 * 3: Think Before You Leap!** Use the Discussion tab to brainstorm, ask questions, or test out your ideas. The Page tab should be a polished work. It is best to start with a "Discussion" to give people a chance to react to your ideas, and then put them on the "Page" when it seems like there is common agreement. If we carry out our disagreements on a "Page", it will probably be a messy "Page" that changes a lot, when we are looking for a nice finished product to show the world!
