NANOGWiki:Specific Case Editing Guidelines
From NANOG
For the most part, the NANOG Wiki makes the assumption that pages are free for anyone to edit, so long as the edits are made in a good-faith attempt to improve the quality of the wiki. Due to political concerns, certain classes of pages, and certain Namespaces, have additional restrictions specific to themselves. This page is an attempt to place all current Specific Cases into a single place.

User: and User talk: pages
User: and User talk: pages are the sole 'property' of that particular user (so, User:Jzp-nfaq and User talk:Jzp-nfaq are both sole property of Joe Provo). As such, Users are free to do whatever they wish to their user pages, including complete wiping of any comments, removal of material they do not like, etc, though it is considered poor form to do this, and it is recommended that users create archive subpages in which to store dead conversation. Further, Users may request the deletion of their User and User talk pages, or any subpages therein.
An exception to this broad authority is the impersonation of others. Impersonation of others can still be reported as a vandalism attempt, even if you are the one that did it on your User page.
Organization and Organization Talk: pages
we might want some policy here to prevent abuse and vandalism
Talk Pages generally
Talk pages generally are considered without ownership, as such noone can claim to have "control" over talk pages generally. Wiping comments on Talk pages is considered extremely poor form, and Archiving is the preferred action for dead conversations, and general content restriction apply as always. However, users are more than welcome to reorganise conversation, or perform other maintenance tasks if they feel that the page requires it.
Suggestions
The Suggestions page and it's associated pages have it's own enforced set of rules for edits; these are displayed at the top of the Suggestions page proper.
