=== Guidelines===
Guidelines are more advisory than policies. Updates to a guideline are typically discussed on its talk page, but it is acceptable to directly edit a guideline. Disputes over wording are often resolved by discussion and compromise toward developing a consensus.
* [[Akvopedia:Copyrights]] is a guideline on how we implement the copyright license.
A '''general guideline''' is that the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_policies Wikipedia policies] serve as guidelines for the Akvopedia unless they have specifically been superseded by guidelines or policies in this document. The reason for doing this is that the Wikipedia policy set is so large and comprehensive that it covers nearly every aspect of a wiki, however, as they are changing outside of our control we can't refer to them as policy. But they are a good guideline where there is no specific Akvopedia policy.
