{{Global policy}}

The '''Content Policy''' outlines the type of content WikiOasis is not willing to host. These guidelines are clear and concise, so you shouldn't have any trouble following them.

# '''Follow United States law.''' WikiOasis is based in the United States, so this one should be self-explanatory.
# '''Don't cause problems for WikiOasis.''' Content that results in severe negative consequences for WikiOasis, such as denial of service attacks or search engine blacklisting, is not allowed.
# '''No hate speech.''' Content that incites harm against or otherwise attacks individuals or groups, including attacks on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation, is not allowed.
# '''No gratuitous NSFW.''' Not-safe-for-work content may only be used in educational or artistic contexts consistent with the wiki's topic.
# '''Don't use wikis as a tool for commercial promotion.''' Commercial promotion includes promoting a business, selling products, or manipulating search engine rankings.
# '''Don't use wikis as file hosting services.''' Files that are not relevant to a wiki's topic should be kept at a minimum.
# '''No anarchy wikis.''' Wikis must have a clear scope and rules, as well as admins to enforce the rules. If there are no active admins for a wiki you contribute to, you can request to be promoted to an admin at [[Steward requests]].
# '''Don't duplicate other WikiOasis wikis.''' If there's already a wiki on WikiOasis about a subject you're interested in, contribute to that wiki instead of creating a new one.
# '''Scope changes must still follow the Content Policy.''' Changing your wiki's scope to one prohibited by this policy may result in it being closed.

If a page or handful of pages violate this policy, they'll be removed and warnings may be issued. If a large part or all of the wiki violates this policy, WikiOasis staff will work with local administrators to try to resolve the violations; if that's not possible, the wiki will be closed.
