EduQuiki policies and guidelines are developed by the community to describe best practice, clarify principles, resolve conflicts, and otherwise foster and support our development of economically sustainable ecosystems for open educational resources.

Policies
Policies are considered standards that have wide acceptance among contributors and should be followed by all members with rare exceptions. WikiEducator policies are aligned with the core @values and provide a foundation for members' actions in the EduQuiki community. However, policies need to be approached with common sense, with a focus on the spirit rather than the letter of the rules. If elements of a policy are unclear, or do not conform to best practice, consensus should be sought to change the policy to reflect that practice. This is an ongoing task.

Guidelines
Guidelines are primarily advisory, considered "best practices" within the EduQuiki community. However, this does not mean that it is appropriate to ignore guidelines simply because they are guidelines; maybe even more so than policies, guidelines provide a common basis for members' actions. If a guideline appears to conflict with a policy, the policy should in most cases take precedence over the guideline. **Adapted from**: [|Wikipedia:Policy and guidelines], accessed 20 September 2009.
