General policies
Remember that above all else, The Law & Order Wiki is an encyclopedia. Like the television shows and film, it is primarily family oriented. It is a community that is solely devoted to the development of the Law & Order reference database; it is not a chat room or discussion forum. The talk pages are specifically for discussing the writing of articles, and nothing else.

Enforcement
For day-to-day operations on Memory Alpha, enforcement can be handled by the general membership. Simply pointing out each other's mistakes (politely, of course) is generally sufficient.
For problem cases, the administrators may intervene and enforce a policy, or temporarily lock a page to let things cool down. In extreme and unusual cases, these administrators will step in to ban a user who has proven to be unusually disruptive.
