NSW Trains Wiki:Rules

WARNING! THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION! Read at your own risk

The Transport Administration Act, 1988 (NSW) was the Act of the NSW Parliament that established CityRail and continues to control Transport for NSW, which makes it a fitting name for the collective charter for the NSW Trains Wiki that will contain all the policies and guidelines that you are expected to follow whilst using this site. Just like an Act of Parliament can be changed, the community can propose changes to any of these policies on the respective talk page for each of these policies..

General

 * 2) No swearing, cussing or any other negative manners on the wiki. Even if it’s abbreviated!
 * 3) Don’t use Admin threats, if you see a user breaking the rules, don’t warn them about it, tell a staff member and they can take care of it (of course this doesn’t apply to stuff as they run the wiki)
 * 4) Only edit your own profile, don’t edit anyone else’s unless you have permission from the user first.

 * 3) No Fan-made images without permission from a staff member
 * 4) No Duplicates of Existing images, if you‘re uploading an image, please make sure it dosen’t already exist. If you think your version is better, please ask an admin first.
 * 5) when Naming a specific page, please name it in this order: (for trains “Operator Class”. e.g. “Tangara” Should be named “Sydney Trains T set” as The Tangara is owned and operated by Sydney trains and is classified as a T set)
 * 6) No Images on pages that don’t fit in with the article
 * 7) when naming an image, no spaces between the words.

Discussions
The following (except when stated) will apply to all Article comments, Messages and Talk pages.
 * 1) All comments must suggest a change to The article It is posted on, they are not a place to vent opinions, such as “should they order 15 more trains” and “I like the Tangara train” they are more suitable for your personal userpage
 * 2) Dont answer messages left for other users.
 * 3) Posting on your own wall is considered spam, doing so is not ”Talking to everyone” as no one gets the notification saying you left a message.

 * 5) Don’t answer message walls left for others.
 * 6) Never reply to comments that are over three weeks old, chances are the comment your replying to has had its issue resolved, there for, replying to it isn’t necessary.
