Do not "go up the tree" - if we allow ourselves to do it, then the RL Wiki becomes a general knowledge encyclopedia.

Example:

'''Example:'''

If a person in RL plays Geometry Dash, it's fine to make articles about the levels they have made. But writing articles about unrelated Geometry Dash levels is beyond the scope of the RL Wiki.

The fact that a member plays a game does not mean that every single content piece about the game should be covered.

== Guidelines for Member Articles ==

Because a large part of the wiki is dedicated to Rolling Lounge's community, these rules apply when creating or editing pages about people:

=== Who gets a page? ===

Not every user who joins RL automatically gets a wiki page. To have a page, a member should be reasonably active, have some recognition within the community or have contributed something notable.

=== Privacy ===

This wiki documents the online personas of Rolling Lounge members. Do not include irl names, locations, ages, or face reveals unless the member has explicitly made that information public within the server and consents to it being on the wiki.

=== Keep it Neutral ===

When documenting server history, events, or inside jokes, keep the tone objective. The wiki is an archive for recording history, not a place for continuing arguments, drama, or attacking members. When writing about yourself, speak in 3rd person and don't make the article personal.

=== Former Members ===

The wiki is an archive of Rolling Lounge history. If a notable member leaves the server or is banned, their page and their created levels generally remain on the wiki as part of its documented history.
