• No AI slop. AI-generated content is not a substitute for understanding, research, or proper writing.
• Use AI responsibly. AI may be used for research, brainstorming, proofreading, or assistance, but verify its output before publishing.
• Be accurate. Don't knowingly publish false or misleading information.
• Cite sources. If information comes from an external source, credit it when appropriate.
• Don't plagiarize. Write your own material and respect the licenses and authors of external work.
• Keep it useful. Pages should contain information that someone can actually learn from or use.
• Stay readable. Use clear structure, headings, examples, and concise explanations.
• Don't vandalize. Don't intentionally damage, delete, or replace useful content.
• Respect other contributors. Disagreements should be handled through discussion and evidence, not edit wars.
• Document your reasoning. When something is uncertain, experimental, or opinionated, say so.
• Update outdated information. If you find something incorrect or obsolete, fix it or clearly mark it as such.
• Have fun. This is a knowledge wiki, not a corporate bureaucracy.

EsseWiki values useful, accurate, human-readable knowledge over quantity.

A short page that genuinely explains something is better than a huge page filled with AI-generated filler. If you use AI, treat it as a tool, not an author.

Understand it > generate it.
