| ==Policies and guidelines==
| |
| Wikipedia has many established [[Wikipedia:List of policies|policies]], [[Wikipedia:List of guidelines|guidelines]], conventions, and traditions. This is a very brief sampling of some of the most important; for more information, see the main [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|policies and guidelines page]]. Policies and guidelines apply both to articles and how to work with fellow editors. For easy access, the [[Wikipedia:shortcuts|shortcuts]] to the pages are also listed.
