The Wikigender Team reports on the latest activity from our network!    The Special Focus is on: Adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals. Previously, we focused on: Women at the peace table.       Launch of the NEW Wikigender A new version of Wikigender will be released soon!   The new platform will offer a more intuitive interface with easy-to-find information. A major development will be the launch of a French Wikigender to accompany the English version. Stay tuned via @Wikigender for more details coming soon!     Call to Action! On 25 September 2015, during the 70th session of the UN General Assembly, the U.K. Government and UN Women co-hosted the event Transforming Economies: Empowering Women and Girls. Over 200 governments, civil society organizations, business leaders and individuals took a stand and made concrete commitments for women and girls’ economic opportunities within the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Call to Action was endorsed to sustain the momentum for action to ensure measurable results and impact by 2030. Join these 200 leaders from across the world by making your own commitment or that of your organisation: www.empowerwomen.org/sdg.     New framework for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment for Europe A new framework for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment was adopted in September for the EU’s activities on gender equality and women’s empowerment in EU’s external relations. The framework, “Transforming the Lives of Girls and Women through EU External Relations (2016-2020)“, aims to support partner countries, especially in developing, enlargement and neighbouring countries, to achieve tangible results towards gender equality which is at the core of European values, as well as the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 4 pillars of the framework include: Fighting violence of any kind against women and girls Economic and social empowerment Strengthening voice and participation Shifting institutional culture     FAO publications and featured articles Publications Rural Women in Eastern Europe and Central Asia This new book from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) uses data to provide a better overview of the gender gap in agriculture and rural areas. The work explores the issues raised in the FAO’s flagship publication, The State of Food and Agriculture 2010-2011: Women in agriculture – Closing the gender gap for development from the perspective of a number of countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The impact of cash transfers on the economic advancement, decision-making and capacity of women It is often claimed that cash transfer (CT) schemes have an empowering effect on women, but available evidence on empowerment outcomes is far from conclusive, particularly as to whether CTs actually improve women’s bargaining power and decision-making in the household. This policy brief considers the concrete benefits of CT schemes for women, particularly in the context of economic empowerment, economic advancement, decision-making power, self-esteem and social empowerment.

The toolkit highlights the need to consider gender inequalities in agriculture in the region and explains the importance of reliable gender statistics for agricultural and rural development. It also presents 18 indicators that can be used for obtaining a more gender-sensitive picture of the reality faced by women and men involved in agriculture, and for measuring gender-related changes over time.

The Wikigender Team reports on the latest activity from our network!  The Special Focus is on: Financing gender equality. Previously, we focused on: 2015 Day of the African Child. Online Discussion: Mobilising financing for gender equality and women’s rights to deliver on the SDGs in practice From 22-26 June, Wikigender organised an online discussion to discuss how to mobilise new and ambitious investments to operationalise the ‪SDGs‬ commitments on ‪genderequality‬ and women’s rights. The discussion was led by several lead discussants: Samina Anwar and Zohra Khan (UN Women); Chiara Capraro (Christian Aid); Nerea Craviotto and Angelika Arutyunova (AWID); and Emily Esplen and Keiko Nowacka (OECD). A summary report is currently being drafted and will be shared at the Third International Conference on Financing for Development in Addis Ababa. Stay tuned on @Wikigender to read the report! In the meantime, see the whole discussion thread here. First country pilot of the Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI) in Uganda On 27-28 May, the OECD Development Centre and the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) presented the results of the SIGI Uganda in Kampala, Uganda. The launch event included a presentation of the methodological framework, survey design and results, as well as the technical construction of the Index and policy implications. Find out more about the event and access the report! From 18-22 May Wikigender organised an online discussion on the topic: read the comments and the summary report!

Findings confirmed that the IDS approach has a sustainable positive impact on rural Afghan women and their families, both in terms of increased income availability and social empowerment. Globefish Research Programme, Vol. 119: Executive Summary (FAO, 2015) Women participate in all segments of the seafood industry, including fishing, farming, trading and selling, monitoring and administration. But the widespread lack of consideration for their role and work in the seafood industry is, in many respects, disadvantageous to them and ultimately bars them from participating fully and equitably in the industry. The primary aim of this report is to increase awareness of business leaders and policy makers, to expand their knowledge and sensitization about the value women bring to the seafood industry, and to encourage them to consider each time they develop a new project or a policy: “Have we not overlooked women?

Dimitra Clubs in Niger This six-minute video shows how the FAO Dimitra Clubs in Niger have been crucial to ensure women’s access to land and water, while contributing to nutrition, food security and gender equality, thereby reducing rural poverty. The transformative approach of the Dimitra Clubs induces behavioral changes in various aspects of daily life for individuals, households and communities in rural areas. Dimitra Clubs are groups of rural women and men who voluntarily decide to get organized to discuss their development challenges, find solutions and take collective action to improve their livelihoods and take control of their own lives.

Questions

Du 27 janvier au 2 février: L’autonomisation sociale et économique des femmes

Il y’a eu une forte amélioration des données sur l’autonomisation sociale et économique des femmes au cours des dernières années, avec l’arrivée d’un certain nombre d’indices tels que l’Indice sur l’égalité des genres du PNUD, l’Indice sur l’équité entre les genres de Social Watch, le Women’s Economic Opportunity Index, le Global Gender Gap Index, l’index sur l’égalité des genres de l’EIGE et beaucoup d’autres. Cependant, de nombreuses données manquantes persistent et doivent être améliorées, surtout en termes de qualité, couverture et disponibilité. La récente initiative EDGE (Evidence and Data for Gender Equality) figure parmi les nouveaux projets visant à accélérer les efforts pour générer des données exhaustives sur le genre et la santé, le genre et l’éducation, l’emploi, et aussi à développer des normes pour mesurer l’entrepreneuriat selon une perspective de genre. Cette semaine, nous aimerions connaître votre point de vue sur:

Dans quels domaines des progrès ont été accomplis depuis les années 2000 en ce qui concerne l’autonomisation sociale et économique des femmes? Où note-t-on des lacunes? Comment est-il possible de les combler?

• Collecte de données: Connaissez-vous des initiatives locales, régionales ou internationales visant à améliorera la collecte et l’analyse de données sur l’autonomisation sociale et économique des femmes? Quelles sont les domaines où il est prioritaire d’améliorer ou de recueillir des statistiques et quelles sont les institutions qui sont prêtes à surmonter ces défis?

• Couverture et méthodologie: Qu’est-ce qui doit être fait pour rendre les statistiques comparables entre les différentes régions? Dans quelle mesure est-ce faisable? Comment pouvons-nous inciter les agences statistiques nationales à améliorer leurs données sur les femmes et les filles dans le respect des efforts poursuivis au niveau international? Dans quelle mesure sont-elles efficaces? Comment est-ce possible de mener des projets pouvant assurer une meilleure harmonisation des données?

• Nouveaux domaines de recherche: Comment la collecte de données dans de nouveaux domaines de recherche (comme l’utilisation du temps, les soins non-rémunérés ou les normes sociales) peut être améliorée afin de mieux capturer la condition socio-économique des femmes et afin d’éclairer les décideurs politiques?

• Nouveaux domaines prioritaires: Quelles nouvelles cibles/domaines prioritaires devraient être incluses dans l’agenda de développement de l’après-2015 et plus particulièrement en ce qui concerne l’égalité des genres?

Du 3 au 9 février: La violence contre les femmes

Les conclusions de la 57e session de la Commission des Nations-Unies sur le Statut de la Femme en Mars 2013 appelaient les États à améliorer la collecte et l’analyse de données sur la violence envers les femmes. Le groupe d’experts inter-agences vient de développer une liste de 52 indicateurs de genres et une liste de 9 indicateurs innovants, développés spécifiquement afin de mesurer la violence contre les femmes sous tous ses aspects (physiques, sexuels, psychologiques et économiques). La division des statistiques de l’ONU a aussi récemment publié des lignes directrices pour la production de statistiques sur les violences contre les femmes. Cette semaine, nous aimerions discuter avec vous de:

Quelles leçons avons-nous apprises sur la collecte et l’analyse des données dans le domaine de la violence contre les femmes depuis les années 2000? Où note-t-on des lacunes en termes de données?

• Types de données: Comment est-il possible de renforcer les capacités aux niveaux local et national pour harmoniser les méthodologies et les concepts pour la collecte de données, y compris les données administratives et les enquêtes sur les violences faites aux femmes? Quelles sont les principales difficultés et les bénéfices dans l’utilisation des registres administratifs pour la violence contre les femmes?

• Méthodologie: Quelles nouvelles approches méthodologiques peuvent être utilisées pour avoir une vision plus précise et exhaustive de la violence contre les femmes, selon les régions et dans le temps? Dans quelle mesure les données qualitatives et sur les perceptions des femmes peuvent-elles compléter les données quantitatives? Comment les nouvelles technologies peuvent améliorer la collecte de données sur les violences sexuelles commises envers les adolescentes?

• Initiatives et campagnes: Pouvez-vous partager des exemples d’initiatives/campagnes sur la prévention et la cartographie de la violence, y compris ceux qui sensibilisent les garçons et les hommes? Avez-vous des exemples de visualisation de données?

• Nouveaux domaines prioritaires: Quelles sont les cibles prioritaires qui devraient être incluses dans les objectifs de l’agenda de développement de l’après-2015?

Du 10 au 14 février : La participation civique et politique des femmes

À travers le monde, les femmes prennent un rôle croissant dans les manifestations publiques pour leurs droits. Parmi les chercheurs et la communauté du développement on note un intérêt grandissant concernant l’autonomie et la voix des femmes dans la contestation des normes sociales les discriminant, comme on l’a vu en Inde, en Afrique du Sud et durant le printemps arabe. Il y’a aussi l’exemple des femmes qui participent à la politique et concourent aux élections. Cependant, malgré ces grandes avancées dans leur représentation politique, dans plusieurs pays les droits civiques et politiques des femmes sont toujours sévèrement restreints et les données sont limitées. Pour cette dernière semaine, nous aimerions discuter de :

Dans quels aspects de la participation politique et civique des femmes avons-nous fait des progrès depuis 2000? Où est-il possible de faire des améliorations?

• Type de données: Comment améliorer les données sur la participation politique et civique des femmes et réduire les disparités entre les pays? Peut-on utiliser des données sur les attitudes concernant les femmes politiques? Quel type de données pourrait nous éclairer sur l’impact politique de la participation civique des femmes? Existe-t-il des données dans les tribunaux ou organismes électoraux?
• Données sur l’action collective et l’engagement civique: Connaissez-vous des sources de données sur les attitudes pouvant mesurer l’engagement et la participation civique (telles que l’accès aux médias et aux technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) – et leur rôle dans la vie civique?)

Preguntas

Del 27 de Enero hasta el 2 de Febrero: El empoderamiento social y económico de las mujeres

La información sobre el empoderamiento socioeconómico de las mujeres ha mejorado a través de los años, con una plétora de índices como el Índice de Inequidad de Género del PNUD, Social Watch´s Gender Index, el Índice de Oportunidades Económicas de las Mujeres, EIGE´s Índice de Equidad de Género, entre otros. Sin embargo, todavía falta mucha información y ciertamente la calidad, cobertura y disponibilidad podrían mejorarse. La iniciativa “Evidencia e Información para la Equidad de Género” (EDGE por sus siglas en inglés) es parte de los nuevos intentos que buscan acelerar los esfuerzos para generar indicadores de género comparables para salud, educación, empleo, y así mismo desarrollar estándares para medir emprendurismo y recursos desde una perspectiva de género. Esta semana nos gustaría que nos compartieran:

Tomando el año 2000 como punto de referencia, ¿en dónde ha habido progreso en relación a la información del empoderamiento de las mujeres? Y ¿dónde falta información? ¿Cómo puede complementarse la información existente?

• Recolección de información: Tienes ejemplos de iniciativas locales, regionales o internacionales que busquen mejorar la recolección de información y el análisis del empoderamiento socioeconómico de la mujer? ¿Cuáles son las áreas prioritarias en donde debería mejorarse/o producirse mejor información sobre las mujeres? Y ¿Qué instituciones podrían realizar esto?

• Comparabilidad y metodología: ¿Qué se necesita hacer para hacer comparable la información existente entre las diferentes regiones? ¿Qué tan factible es? ¿Cómo podemos relacionarnos de manera más eficiente con las oficinas de estadística nacional para mejorar la información sobre mujeres y niñas siguiendo los lineamientos de los estándares internacionales? ¿Cómo pueden ser implementados? ¿Cómo es posible comenzar iniciativas que aseguren la armonización de la información?

• Nuevas áreas de investigación: ¿Cómo se puede mejorar la recolección de información en nuevas áreas de investigación (como uso del tiempo, trabajo de cuidado no remunerado o normas sociales) para influenciar la política pública y mejorar nuestro conocimiento de la condición de las mujeres en relación a su empoderamiento socioeconómico?

• Nuevas áreas prioritarias: ¿Cuáles son las nuevas áreas prioritarias que deberían ser incluidas en la agenda de desarrollo post 2015, especialmente en relación a la equidad de género?

3-9 de Febrero: La violencia contra las mujeres

Las conclusiones de la 57ª sesión de la Comisión del Estatus de la Mujer de las Naciones Unidas acordadas en Marzo del 2013, convocan a que los Estados mejoren la recolección de información y análisis en relación a la violencia de género. El grupo Inter-Agencias y de Expertos en Estadísticas de Género recientemente desarrollo un conjunto de 52 indicadores de género y una lista de nueve indicadores innovadores especialmente diseñados para medir la violencia en contra de las mujeres en todos los aspectos, incluyendo violencia física, sexual, psicológica y económica. La División Estadística de las ONU también completó los lineamientos para producir Estadísticas de Violencia en contra de las Mujeres. Esta semana nos gustaría tener su contribución en esta área específica, respondiendo a las siguientes preguntas:

¿Qué lecciones se han aprendido sobre la recolección de información y el análisis sobre la violencia en contra de las mujeres desde el año 2000? ¿Dónde falta información?

• Tipo de información: ¿Cómo podemos mejorar la capacidad a nivel local y nacional para armonizar las metodologías y conceptos de la recolección de datos, incluyendo información administrativa y elaboración de encuestas sobre violencia en contra de las mujeres? ¿Cuáles son las principales dificultades y beneficios de usar información administrativa de la violencia en contra de las mujeres?

• Metodología: ¿Qué enfoques metodológicos nuevos pueden utilizarse para tener una imagen más adecuada y comparable de la violencia en contra de las mujeres entre diferentes y lugares y a través del tiempo? ¿Cómo puede complementar la información cualitativa y de actitudes a la información cuantitativa? ¿Cómo es posible que nuevas tecnologías mejoren la recolección de información sobre violencia sexual en contra de las niñas adolescentes?

• Iniciativas y campañas: ¿Puedes compartir ejemplos de iniciativas/campañas sobre prevención y mapeo de violencia contra mujeres, hombres, niñas y niños? ¿Hay algo en relación a visualización de información?

• Nuevas áreas prioritarias: ¿Qué nuevas áreas prioritarias deben ser incluidas en la agenda de desarrollo post 2015?

10-14 de Febrero : La participación cívica y política de las mujeres

En todo el mudo, las mujeres están teniendo un rol de creciente importancia en protestas públicas para luchar por sus derechos. Existe un creciente interés entre los investigadores y la comunidad del desarrollo en la voz y agencia de las mujeres que retan las normas sociales que las discriminan. Hemos visto ejemplos de esto en India, Sudáfrica y durante la Primavera Árabe. También hay más ejemplos de mujeres que son candidatas en elecciones y participan en la política. Sin embargo, a pesar de los avances en la representación política de las mujeres, en muchos países los derechos cívicos y políticos de las mujeres son restringidos y la información disponible es limitada. Para la semana final de la discusión nos gustaría abordar las siguientes preguntas:

¿En qué áreas ha habido progreso desde el 2000 en relación a la información de la participación cívica y política de las mujeres? ¿Dónde podemos mejorar?

• Tipo de información: ¿Cómo puede mejorar la información sobre la participación cívica y política de las mujeres y disminuir las inconsistencias entre países? ¿Qué piensan sobre la utilización de datos sobre las actitudes hacia las mujeres líderes en política? ¿Qué piensan sobre la utilización de datos que puedan aclarar nuestros conocimientos de los impactos de la política sobre la participación cívica de las mujeres? ¿Existe información disponible en los registros de las cortes electorales o agencias electorales?
• Información de acción colectiva y compromiso civil: ¿Conoces fuentes de información adicionales para medir el compromiso civil y la participación de las mujeres – como acceso a los medios y a Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) – y su papel para la vida cívica? ¿Tienes sugerencias de indicadores o conoces fuentes de información que tienen información sobre acción colectiva? (p.e. sindicatos laborales, partidos políticos)
• Ejemplos: ¿Conoces ejemplos de acción colectiva de las mujeres que ha generado un cambio político?
• Nuevas áreas prioritarias: ¿Qué indicadores para la agenda de desarrollo post 2015 podrían capturar mejor la participación política y cívica de las mujeres, incluyendo la acción colectiva?

Questions

From 27 January to 2 February: The socio-economic empowerment of women

Data on the socio-economic empowerment of women has increasingly improved over the years, with a plethora of indices such as UNDP’s Gender Inequality Index, Social Watch’s Gender Equity Index, the Women’s Economic Opportunity Index, the Global Gender Gap index, EIGE’s Gender Equality Index, among others. However, there are still many data gaps and quality, coverage and availability need to be improved. The recent Evidence and Data for Gender Equality (EDGE) is among the new initiatives that aim to accelerate existing efforts to generate comparable gender indicators on health, education, employment and develop standards to measure entrepreneurship and assets from a gender perspective.

Where has progress been made since 2000 in terms of data on women’s socio-economic empowerment and where are the gaps? How can we address them?

• Data collection: Do you have examples of local, regional or international initiatives that aim to improve data collection and analysis on women’s socio-economic empowerment? What are priority areas for which data on women should be improved or newly produced, and which institutions are poised to take this on?

• Comparability and methodology: What needs to be done to make existing data comparable between different regions? How feasible would this be? How do we best engage national statistical offices in improving data on women and girls in line with international efforts? How are they effective? How is it possible to drive initiatives to ensure that there is better harmonization of data?

• New areas of research: How can data collection on new areas of research (such as time use, unpaid care or social norms) be improved in order to better inform how women fare in terms of socio-economic empowerment and to inform policy-making?

• New priority areas: What new priority targets/areas should be included in the post-2015 development agenda and more specifically when it comes to gender equality?

From 3 to 9 February: Violence against women

The agreed conclusions of the 57th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women in March 2013 called on States to improve data collection and analysis of violence against women. The Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Gender Statistics recently developed a set of 52 gender indicators and also a core list of nine ground-breaking indicators specifically designed to measure violence against women in all its aspects including physical, sexual, psychological and economic violence. The UN Statistical Division also recently completed its Guidelines for Producing Statistics on Violence against Women.

What lessons have been learnt on data collection and analysis in the area of violence against women since 2000? Where are the gaps?

• Type of data: How can we further build the capacity at local and national level to harmonise methodologies and concepts for the collection of data, including administrative data and conducting surveys on violence against women? Which are the main difficulties and benefits of using administrative records for violence against women?

• Methodology: What new methodological approaches can be used to get a more accurate and comparable picture of violence against women across settings and over time? How is the use of qualitative and attitudinal data complementing quantitative data in the area? How can new technologies improve data collection on sexual violence against adolescent girls?

• Initiatives and campaigns: Can you share examples of initiatives/campaigns on violence prevention and mapping of violence, including those engaging men and boys? What about data visualisations?

• New priority areas: What new priority targets should be included in the post-2015 development agenda?

From 10-14 February: The civic and political participation of women

Across the world, women are taking an increasingly important role in public demonstrations to advocate for their rights. There is a growing interest amongst researchers and the development community on women’s voice and agency in challenging social norms that discriminate against them, we have seen examples of women’s claim-making in India, South Africa, and during the Arab Spring. There are also more examples of women who run for election and participate in politics. However, despite great strides forward in women’s political representation, in many countries women’s civic and political rights are still severely restricted and data on this is limited.

Where have we made progress since 2000 in terms of data on women’s civic and political participation? Where can we improve?

• Type of data: How can we improve data on women’s civic and political participation and minimise inconsistencies between countries? What about attitudinal data on female political leaders? What about looking at data that will inform knowledge of the policy impacts of women’s civic engagement? Is there any available information from the registers of the electoral courts or agencies?
• Collective action & civic engagement data: Do you know of additional data sources to measure women’s civic engagement and participation – such as access to the media and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) – and their roles in civic life? Do you have suggestions of indicators or know of data sources that have information on collective action? (e.g. labour unions, political parties?)
• Examples: Do you have examples of women’s collective action that triggered political change?
• New priority areas: What new priority indicators could better capture women’s civic and political participation, including collective action, in the post-2015 development agenda?

Definition

A wiki is ‘a’ type of website that is developed collaboratively by a group of users, and can be easily added to or edited by anyone (known as ‘open editing’). ‘Wiki’ is a Hawaiian word meaning ‘quick’ (when repeated it means ‘very quick’) and was first used in this sense in 1995 by the US computer programmer Ward Cunningham, who called his website the WikiWikiWeb.Oxford Dictionary Online. See http://www.askoxford.com/worldofwords/bubblingunder/archive/bubbling_03/?view=uk

How do wikis work?

A wiki is a hybrid of tool and communityShirky, C. 2008, Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations, Penguin Press HC

In order for a wiki to function, it must have a community of users who read, edit and create the information on the platform. A wiki is only ever as strong as the community who nurture it.

Creating and editing articles

See How to create an article and how to edit an article for instructions and help on developing Wikiprogress articles

Creating a new article is simple. Lets say for example someone decides a new article needs to be created on the Human Development Index. The author does not necessarily need to be an expert in the area; all they need to do is begin the process of an article. They can contribute by adding just one sentence: ‘The Human Development Index is a composite statistics used to rank countries by levels of human development.’

The articles is then viewed by readers who edit and develop the article bit by bit to add as much information as possible.

Editors can either contribute a significant amount of information, by adding the complete HDI ranks for 2010, or writing about the methodology of the HDI, or they can simply add a reference, correct a spelling mistake or add a picture. Bit by bit the community works together to develop the article.

A wiki article is a process, not a product, and as a result it is never finished.Shirky, C. 2008, Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations, Penguin Press HC

This is one of the key differences between wikis and other information gathering tools, as it is in a permanent stage of development. This function of the wiki allows for a wide variety of individuals to contribute to a single article, gathering information from many different users. As articles are never finished, each edit can be seen as a provisional change.

On quality and vandalism

Wikis operate with a publish then filter system, which has added fuel to the fire for the argument against the quality of wiki articles and in theory should leave the platform open to vandalism. This is not the case.

As explained earlier, wiki articles are a process and as such each little contribution, published in real time, allows for the development of the article to happen with no interruption or delay.

Vandalism is rare on any wiki platform, and there are a few reasons for this. Firstly, it is incredibly easy to erase vandalism or mistakes by simply ‘reverting’ the article to what it was before the edit. The same goes if an entire article is deleted- it can simply be reverted back to what it was before the vandal deleted it. The history of every article on the wiki is open for all to view, showing how the article has been developed, who edited what and if there have been any attacks of vandalism.

Additionally, a feed of activity on the Wikiprogress home page shows articles as they are edited, allowing a team of dedicated Wikiprogress quality assures to review the new article or edit and ensure it is valid. If in doubt, the quality assurance team can contact a relevant expert.

Division of labour

There are two key types of contributors to wikis; however this is quite vague, as there is little to no equality in the participation of those contributing. Studies have shown that these two groups represent the only prominent patterns of contribution.

One off editors

One off editors generally correct mistakes, add references, add templates, write short sentences etc.

Dedicated contributors

The dedicated contributors create the bulk of the content on wikis. They are often experts from a particular field or are assigned the task of developing content on a particular subject.

Why would anyone contribute?

Many studies have been conducting to understand what motivates an individual to contribute to collective participation tools such as wikis; the majority of which use Wikipedia as a case study. The results show contributors are motivated by the following 3 reasons:

• Doing something with the knowledge you have
• Getting recognised (a user name is associated with each edit/article creation)
• The desire to contribute to a project that serves the greater good – as the sum of all contributions will be something of global significance.

Policy On Wiki Sites

Without defined policy, Wiki sites would run into difficulty either through Spam posters or Vandals who which to disrupt content. For more information about policy on this site please see .
