== Moderation ==

Changes made to the wiki go to a moderation queue, where moderators will check if the change you made is vandalism.

Here are our practices we follow when moderating content, which the extension itself recommends:

=== Recommended use / good practices when moderating ===

The following good-practices are advised:

# Only vandalism should be Rejected. Not-so-good edits with good intentions (e.g. adding excessive plot details into the Wikipedia article about film) are better made Approved and then reverted as usual. This way the author is not offended and the text is saved in page history, viewable by anyone.

# Any user that is deemed legitimate (does N good edits) should be added into <code>automoderated</code> group.

# Adding users to <code>automoderated</code> group via <code>$wgAutopromote</code> is NOT recommended, as it motivates the vandals to do many very-minor edits (e.g. adding interwiki). Better promote them to <code>automoderated</code> manually for one good edit and not promote for 30 useless-edits-made-for-count.

# Abstain from using blocks. Don't protect pages "just in case", except maybe for important templates.

# Allow the full rehabilitation of users with a bad history of editing. Their useful edits to the articles should be allowed, no matter how many times they were blocked. At the same time, trolling on talk pages should be rejected, so are the purposely-low-quality edits.
