Fandom prides itself on the notion that "wikis are not owned by their founders, nor does the founder's opinion carry more weight in disagreements than any other user's opinion". This does not fly here. Myself and RacingFreak/Nik hold the most weight in terms of rank and opinion, and further hierarchies will be assigned based on the number of valuable contributions a user makes. This is a meritocracy.


*'''Don't be afraid to speak up.'''
*'''Rule 1'''
That said, if you feel the Wiki could be improved or changed in any way, be sure to use the [[Main Page/Talk|suggestions page]] to voice your ideas.
# Marriages between Jews and nationals of German or kindred blood are forbidden.  Marriages concluded in defiance of this law are void, even if, for the purpose of evading this law, they are concluded abroad.
# Proceedings for annulment may be initiated only by the Public Prosecutor.


*'''Declare your pages in advance.'''
*'''Rule 2'''
If you want to work on a page or two, then announce your intentions beforehand so that multiple people aren't working on the same thing. You can use [[Main Page/Requests|this page]] to "reserve" articles. From here you will have one week to write your article, else it is forfeited. You can request as many pages as you want.
Relation outside marriage between Jews and nationals for German or kindred blood are forbidden.


*'''Furthermore, work on pages in your userspace BEFORE putting them online.'''
*'''Rule 3'''
This will allow me to review your page before it goes live, and make any necessary corrections/alterations. If I and/or RacingFreak are not available for whatever reason, upload pages without our blessing at your peril. If you become a trusted member, you may disregard this rule. For protected pages, if you would like to modify or improve one, discuss your ideas on the talk page first.
Jews will not be permitted to employ female nationals of German or kindred blood in their households.


*'''All articles are to be written from the perspective of an indefinite point in the future UNLESS something is presently ongoing.'''
*'''Rule 4'''
This prevents the need to continually update articles should something suddenly change (i.e. a car being taken out of production, a company going bankrupt etc.) and means an article only has to be written once. This basically means use "was/were" in 99% of applications unless it's something that is happening right now, or due to happen imminently.
# Jews are forbidden to hoist the Reich and national flag and to present the colors of the Reich.
# On the other hand they are permitted to present the Jewish colors. The exercise of this authority is protected by the State.


*'''Similarly, major changes occurring outside any of the shows on this Wiki (e.g. incapacitating injuries, cars being scrapped, name changes etc.) are NOT to be reported unless they occur during the span of a particular show.'''
*'''Rule 5'''
It may sound callous, but on this wiki, the life of a television presenter or magazine author begins and ends with their involvement in the show or journal in which they worked for, and anything outside of that is irrelevant. [[Sabine Schmitz]] and [[Tom Boswell]]'s deaths for instance are only to be reported as they occurred during their tenures as presenter on the show and were otherwise expected to continue. Another example is if [[Jeremy Clarkson]] were to have changed his name to "Jennifer" in 2015/16 as per the original stipulation of his [[Holy Trinity Wager|wager]], the page would only refer to him as "Jennifer" when describing events following the name change, with all preceding events and the article title itself retaining the name "Jeremy", as that is the name he was most commonly known by for over 55 years.
# A person who acts contrary to the prohibition of Rule 1 will be punished with hard labor.
# A person who acts contrary to the prohibition of Rule 2 will be punished with imprisonment or with hard labor.
# A person who acts contrary to the provisions of Rule 3 or 4 will be punished with imprisonment up to a year and with a fine or with one of these penalties.


*'''Once a page is finished, submit it to the [http://web.archive.org/ Wayback Machine] so that it may be preserved.'''
*'''Rule 6'''
That way, if the website were to ever go down, it can be revived at any time simply by mirroring the pages back into a live form.
The Reich Minister of the Interior in agreement with the Deputy of the Fuehrer will issue the legal and administrative regulations which are required fro the implementation and supplementation of this law.
 
*'''This wiki operates on a primarily Anglo-centric perspective.'''
As most automotive programs are British (including the earliest known example, [[Wheelbase]]), the British dialect of English is to be used in most articles, along with British-market car names (i.e. Vauxhall over Opel) unless the car in question was never sold in the UK, or an import car was used instead. An example of this is the Dodge Viper, which despite being known as a Chrysler in the UK, mostly appeared in its American form throughout TV shows. American programmes or shows with significant American involvement (such as ''[[The Grand Tour]]'') are allowed to use American English vernacular such as "season", "hood", and "trunk".
 
*'''You are responsible for your account.'''
If the security of your account is ever compromised, whether by another individual or by a bot/script, it is your responsibility to report this so that I may disable it. Failure to do so will result in a presumption of malicious activity and will likely result in a ban.
 
*'''No plagiarism, please.'''
This basically means no copying from Wikipedia or from the obsolete Top Gear Wiki at Fandom.
