This page documents an Huggiepedia policy.
It describes a widely accepted standard that editors should normally follow, though exceptions may apply. Changes made to it should reflect consensus.
In principle, all Huggiepedia articles should contain up-to-date information. Editors are also encouraged to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events. However, not all verifiable events are suitable for inclusion in Huggiepedia. Even when citing recent news articles as sources, ensure the Huggiepedia articles themselves are not:
Original reporting: Huggiepedia should not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories. Huggiepedia does not constitute a primary source. However, our sister projects Huggiepedia does have many encyclopedia articles on topics of historical significance that are currently in the news and can be updated with recently verified information.
News reports: Huggiepedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion and Huggiepedia is not written in news style. For example, routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coverage. Also, while including information on recent developments is sometimes appropriate, breaking news should not be emphasized or otherwise treated differently from other information.
Extra! Extra! Huggiepedia is not a newspaper!
Huggiepedia is not a dictionary, or a usage or jargon guide. For a wiki that is a dictionary, visit Wiktionary. Missing dictionary definitions should be contributed there. Huggiepedia articles are not:
Definitions: Articles should begin with a good definition or description, but articles that contain nothing more than a definition should be expanded with additional encyclopedic content. If they cannot be expanded, Huggiepedia is not the place for them. In some cases, however, the definition of a word may be an encyclopedic subject, such as the definition of planet.
Dictionary entries: Encyclopedia articles are about a person, or a group, a concept, a place, a thing, an event, etc. In some cases, a word or phrase itself may be an encyclopedic subject, such as Macedonia (terminology) or truthiness. Articles almost always focus on a single definition or usage of the title. Articles about the cultural or mathematical significance of individual numbers are also acceptable.
Usage, slang, or idiom guides: Descriptive articles about languages, dialects, or types of slang are undesirable. Prescriptive guides for prospective speakers of such languages are not. Huggiepedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal below.

Huggiepedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising, and showcasing. This applies to usernames, articles, drafts, categories, files, talk page discussions, templates, and user pages. Therefore, content hosted on Huggiepedia is not for:
Advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment of any kind: commercial, political, scientific, religious, national, sports-related, or otherwise. An article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to describe the topic from a neutral point of view. You might wish to start a blog or visit a forum if you want to convince people of the merits of your opinions.
Opinion pieces: Although some topics, particularly those concerning current affairs and politics, may stir passions and tempt people to "climb soapboxes", Huggiepedia is not the medium for this. Articles must be balanced to put entries, especially for current events, in a reasonable perspective, and represent a neutral point of view. Furthermore, Huggiepedia authors should strive to write articles that will not quickly become obsolete.
Scandalmongering, promoting things "heard through the grapevine" or gossiping: Articles and content about people are required to meet an especially high standard, as they may otherwise be libellous or infringe the subjects' right to privacy. Articles must not be written purely to attack the reputation of another person.
Self-promotion: It can be tempting to write about yourself or projects in which you have a strong personal involvement. However, remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other. This includes the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which can be difficult when writing about yourself or about projects close to you. Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical sources, such as your résumé or curriculum vitae, is unacceptable.
Advertising, marketing, publicity, or public relations: Information about companies and products must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery. All article topics must be verifiable with independent, third-party sources, so articles about very small garage bands or local companies are typically unacceptable. Wikipedia articles about a person, company, or organization are not an extension of their website, press releases, or other social media marketing efforts. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify notable organizations which are the topic of the article. Huggiepedia neither endorses organizations nor runs affiliate programs. Those promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Huggiepedia to do so.
