	A '''policy''' on {{SITENAME}} is a document that was created to set procedures or to make an "official" act based on what is needed for this wiki. Some of the policies might be the same (i.e. [[Stargate Wiki:Candidates for deletion]] vs [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion\|Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion]]) but still have some slight changes in the wording and procedures for operating. The reason for this is because {{SITENAME}} has a relatively small number of users in comparison to [w[~~ikipedia~~:Main Page\|Wikipedia]]'s user base of 100,000+.

	'''Project-Policy''' pages on {{SITENAME}} take the form of something that tons of people work on. However, sometimes certain projects can also be policies. This can get confusing. Those projects, though marked with the {{tl\|Project ~~navbar~~}} tag, could still fall under this page's rules and guidelines. It all depends on the project's goal when trying to determine if it is a legitimate project-policy page. Even though anyone can create a project, the mere creation of a policy page does not make it an official policy. It still has to go through the policy procedures to become an official policy.

New page

{{Official policy navbar|SG:POL}}

This is a listing of the different types of '''policies''' on {{SITENAME}}. Please note that many projects can be considered policies because of their unique ability to set formal recommendations, in a project form, and not in policy form, which is not updated as often. (i.e. [[Stargate Wiki:Standards and conventions]] is a project, but is enforceable.)

== What is a Policy? ==

'''Project-Policy''' pages on {{SITENAME}} take the form of something that tons of people work on. However, sometimes certain projects can also be policies. This can get confusing. Those projects, though marked with the {{tl|Project navbar}} tag, could still fall under this page's rules and guidelines. It all depends on the project's goal when trying to determine if it is a legitimate project-policy page. Even though anyone can create a project, the mere creation of a policy page does not make it an official policy. It still has to go through the policy procedures to become an official policy.

=== Policy ===

A '''policy''' on {{SITENAME}} is a document that was created to set procedures or to make an "official" act based on what is needed for this wiki. Some of the policies might be the same (i.e. [[Stargate Wiki:Candidates for deletion]] vs [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion]]) but still have some slight changes in the wording and procedures for operating. The reason for this is because {{SITENAME}} has a relatively small number of users in comparison to [w[ikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia]]'s user base of 100,000+.

== Steps to getting a policy consensus ==

If you create a policy and you are looking for consensus, make sure that you follow these steps before proceeding. Note: When you are creating a policy, make sure you have the {{tl|inuse navbar}} template active on the top of the page, so people know you are working on your policy. Project-Policy and Policy pages should only exist on the <tt>Stargate Wiki</tt> namespace.

# Place the {{tl|Proposed Policy navbar}} tag on the top of the page.
# After saving, go to the [[SG:TANK]] and fill out a proposal request.

Voting lasts for two weeks. An '''80%''' of the discussing party is needed after the two weeks to become offical policy. Major changes should not happen during the voting time. Anytime their are significant changes to the proposed policy based on the debate in the talk page, the voting shall restart.

=== Without consensus ===

Only the site founder, [[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]], can make a policy official/active without consensus, even if he won't use this right out of purpose. All other policy recommendations must pass through consensus.
