This article describes the governance of this wiki.
 
= History =
== Current state ==
There is a set of six [https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=sysop users with admin] rights:
 
* [[User:Genjix]]
* [[User:Kiba]]
* [[User:MagicalTux]]
* [[User:Nanotube]]
* [[User:Sgornick]]
* [[User:Ripper234]] - Added on March 2013
 
MagicalTux is the only [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Sysops_and_permissions#Bureaucrats beaurocrat], and nobody else is capable of appointing new admins.
 
[[Wiki_admin_nominations|This page]] will contain nominations for new admins, and hopefully some of them will be added in the future.
 
= Core Rules =
 
I (ripper234) consider the rules below as '''official policy''' at this point.
 
They do not replace [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette standard wiki etiquette], but are rather in place to be used where the etiquette fails. Other users / admins may disagree to these rules - please take up the disagreement to the bitcointalk thread.
 
# Discussions that are not utter rubbish (spam/gibberish) should never be deleted or reverted. An an exception, resolved and/or dead conversations may be pruned as necessary to make cluttered Talk pages more manageable. Archival pages may also be used to separate historical content from current material.
# Edits should respect [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view NPOV]. Do not merely revert edits if you disagree with some perspective; instead, try to rephrase the language in a way that does not disenfrancise the original perspective, while being more agreeable to your own.
# Avoid [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reverting revert wars], they are unproductive. Seek cooperative solutions and compromises which satisfy everyone. Perfection is not a goal here.
 
= Transgression =
The rules above will only be enforced starting from a particular future date - past "transgressions" are of course not punishable.
Admins will not be trigger-happy, and any punshiment for breaking the rules can (to some degree) be appealed (recommended medium is posting to bitcointalk).
 
However, rules without a bite are meaningless, and so appropriate measures will be used to enforce this set of rules.
The measures include warnings, locking articles, temporary bans, and ultimately might include permanent bans.
