* '''Scope''': ICANN and Internet Governance are the subjects of the wiki. Avoid broad themes better covered elsewhere and focus on matters specific to these areas.
* '''Writing''':
** The wiki is in the English lanugage, all variants are accepted, as long as they are written in formal style (academic style not required).
** The editor's tone should always be neutral. Articles about services and businesses are welcome, but cannot be written in advertisement form.
* '''Notability''': Low bar. The person, entity or concept needs to have a clear proven connection with ICANN or Interent governance.
* '''Lists of names''': Long lists of names are unwelcome, unless they pertain to essential matters.

For a more subjective example, an article on router devices might be better covered by Wikipedia’s article on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router_(computing) Router (computing)], although that might not be the case if an ICANNWiki volunteer wants to contribute their expert insights into how this affects Internet Governance. Meanwhile, an article on the practice of routing traffic can be assumed to be better covered by ICANNWiki’s specialized community in our [[Routing]] article.
