	~~Before you can edit~~, ~~your account has~~ to ~~be manually approved~~.		On the Bitcoin Wiki, new users' edits are '''held for review''' by moderators. New users are also subject to additional rules.

	== Rules ==		== Rules ==
	~~First, note these rules:~~

	# ~~Avoid~~ listing sites or services which make their own income (e.g. exchanges, marketplaces, hardware wallet manufacturers, etc). You can talk about the idea of certain products (e.g. hardware wallets exist and are useful in XYZ circumstances), but not list specific brands.		Carefully read and follow these rules:
	#* '''If your first edits are you adding an external link or creating a ~~page~~ for ~~some service~~, ~~you're probably going to be banned~~.~~'''~~
			# '''If your first edits are you adding an external link or creating a page for some service, you're probably going to be banned.''' Do not even add an external link to your own user page. If you think that an external link would really be helpful, suggest it on the page's talk page.
			# No self-promotion, and avoid listing sites or services which make their own income (e.g. exchanges, marketplaces, hardware wallet manufacturers, etc). You can talk about the idea of certain products (e.g. hardware wallets exist and are useful in XYZ circumstances), but not list specific brands.
			# Generally, the Bitcoin Wiki is a space for Bitcoin, not altcoins.
	# Articles here will likely be edited by other people. Try not to take it personally.		# Articles here will likely be edited by other people. Try not to take it personally.
	~~# Avoid altcoins and especially scamcoins when possible, or confine discussion of these to their own pages (e.g. comparison of altcoins). The Bitcoin Wiki is a space for Bitcoin.~~
	# Do not engage in edit wars: use the talk page to find consensus.		# Do not engage in edit wars: use the talk page to find consensus.

	== ~~Getting the attention of a Permittor~~ ==		== What if my edits are not being approved? ==
	~~Get~~ a Permittor to ~~whitelist you~~ in ~~one of these ways~~:		After you make your edits, they are automatically added to a queue, and a Permittor should approve or reject them within a few days. Give it some time. Do not complain until at least five days have passed.
	* Post ~~the edits you want to make~~ on the [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=168.0 wiki board on bitcointalk.org]~~. Don't just ask to be whitelisted without saying what you want to do~~.
	* Join {{Freenode IRC\|bitcoin-wiki}} on Freenode - there is also a {{Libera IRC\|bitcoin-wiki}} channel on Libera if you prefer that network. ~~Here~~, ~~you will also be expected~~ to ~~explain what you want to do.~~		If your edits are rejected, first consider that you might have broken the above rules. If not, here are some ways to get in contact with us:
	* One of our Permittors ~~accepts whitelisting requests via email. Send a summary of your proposed edits and your wiki username~~ [https://spamty.eu/show/v7/237/45773e1f08/ ~~here~~]~~. Since this is only one Permittor, this method may be slower~~.		* Post on the [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=168.0 wiki board on bitcointalk.org].
			* Join {{Freenode IRC\|bitcoin-wiki}} on Freenode - there is also a {{Libera IRC\|bitcoin-wiki}} channel on Libera if you prefer that network.
			* Contact a [https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=truster Permittor]. Go to their talk page, and click the "new topic" link at the top. If even your edits to talk pages are being rejected, one of our Permittors is also willing to be contacted [https://spamty.eu/show/v7/237/45773e1f08/ via email].
