Editorial Policy

This wiki aims to be a comprehensive, neutral, and reliable resource regarding crypto futures trading. Adherence to this editorial policy is required for all contributors.

Neutral Point of View (NPOV)

All articles must maintain a Neutral Point of View (NPOV). This means presenting all significant viewpoints fairly, proportionately, and without bias.

Avoiding Promotional Content

Content must be strictly informational and educational. Articles must not promote specific exchanges, trading strategies, or financial products. Claims regarding guaranteed returns or risk-free trading are prohibited.

Verifiability and Sourcing

Information presented must be verifiable. Claims, statistics, and definitions should be supported by reliable, independent sources where possible.

Sourcing Requirements

When citing external information, use the Template:Cite web template or other appropriate citation templates. Information that cannot be sourced should be removed or flagged for review.

Content Guidelines

Articles should focus on factual descriptions of concepts, mechanisms, and market structures related to crypto futures.

Scope

Topics covered should relate directly to:

Definitions of futures contracts, margin, leverage, and settlement.

Mechanics of futures exchanges and clearinghouses.

Regulatory frameworks impacting crypto futures markets.

Standardized trading terminology.

Tone and Language

The tone must be encyclopedic, objective, and accessible to readers new to the subject. Avoid jargon where plain language suffices, or ensure that jargon is clearly defined upon first use.

Article Structure and Maintenance

Articles should be well-organized using standard wiki headings.

Naming Conventions

Article titles should be clear and descriptive. Use standard English terminology unless a specific technical term is universally recognized within the industry.

Handling Disputes

If editors disagree on the content or sourcing of an article, the discussion should first take place on the associated article's Talk page. Consensus should be sought before making significant, controversial edits. Edits that introduce non-neutral language or unsourced claims may be reverted pending discussion.

Policy Review =

This editorial policy is subject to review and amendment by the community to ensure the wiki remains a high-quality resource.
