Editing RLMWiki:Standards (section)

=== Move Fast and Break Things ===

<blockquote>
'''More edits are a net good thing.''' If you feel the need to edit the wiki to add something, '''do it.'''

English Wikipedia has a rule that "Wikipedia has no hard rules." This is summarized on the page [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Ignore all rules]]: '''If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it.''' It's one of the "5 Pillars" of Wikipedia policy, and it directly influences the rule to [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Be bold|Be bold]].

I think this is a good attitude to have. This is a place where coalition of information is a net positive for archival and preservation. In the spirit of Red Letter Media's [[destroyed objects|attitude]] towards their [[objects being recklessly thrown|own props and sets]], I've called this rule "move fast and break things." Personally, I think that attitude fits our spunky little indie wiki more than it does the corporate megacompany that I'm blatantly stealing the motto from.

As for breaking things, this server's running on bare metal. If something breaks, I can physically walk up to the machine to fix it.
