Sometimes, the best way to understand a place is to know what it is not.
MicroWiki is a collaborative project to create the most definitive, accurate, and accessible encyclopedia and reference database for everything related to micronationalism.
This is a huge mandate. But it's not an infinite one. There are things which this wiki is not:
Wikipedia[]
We are not Wikipedia, nor are we a simple port of Wikipedia's Micronation WikiProject (WP:MICRON). However, we do take ideas from Wikipedia and WP:MICRON. The biggest difference between MicroWiki and WP:MICRON, is that we take micronationalism seriously.
Not for fantasy nations or cybernations[]
Due to a community consensus, we are not a place to host articles about fantasy nations, or cybernations.
As our user page policy states, FantasyWiki or Cybernations Wiki are wikis — not affiliated with this site in any way — where such things may be welcome.
Just to be clear, there should be no cybernations or fantasy nations posted in any namespace other than ns:2 (User) — and even that must be done in accordance with our user page policy.
Not a free web host[]
We aren't your free web host. Users may create a unique user page, but it is not your primary contribution to this wiki. Thus we are not your personal image or video hosting service. See our user page, user image, and video policies for more information.
Likewise, we are not here to give you somewhere to host your advertisements. Articles considered advertisements include those that are promotions for business, product or articles designed as pieces of public relations to promote an event, individual, company or external blog. Such articles are notable for their sales orientated language, prevalence of external links to a commercial website and are written to promote the product, service or event in favourable manner. Such articles will be summarily deleted.
Not a general message board[]
This wiki provides its community with several forums and discussion areas, including personal user talk areas. However, these areas should be used for discussions specifically relating to the editing and creation of this site. In particular forum and article talk pages should be focused on the title of subject of the talk or forum pages, as is covered in more detailed in our forum policy. Personal attacks against other users in these discussion areas shall not be tolerated.
