 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
All revolutions eventually evaporate, leaving behind the slime of a new bureaucracy.

Ignore all rules "If the rules prevent you from improving the encyclopedia, ignore them." This absolutely essential principle is what distinguishes wikipedia from other societies, as befits its nature as a project with one purpose--to build an encyclopedia.
Ignore All Rules is an assumption of good faith at a meta-level. It assumes good faith not only of individuals, but of the community, and the project as a whole: it allows for individual freedom in helping make Wikipedia even better than it already is. Ignore All Rules assumes good faith of you. Improve the project; be kind to your fellow editors, respect them, be aware of your a priori biases.
