Editorial Policy

This policy outlines the standards and guidelines for content creation and editing on this wiki concerning crypto futures trading. Adherence to these standards ensures the encyclopedia remains a neutral, reliable, and informative resource for all users.

Neutral Point of View (NPOV)

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

Attribution of Views

Views that are not universally accepted or established facts must be attributed to their proponents. Editors should avoid presenting any single viewpoint as definitive truth unless it represents a consensus view within the relevant financial or technical community.

Avoiding Promotional Content

Content must not promote specific trading platforms, financial instruments, investment strategies, or service providers. Language that suggests guaranteed returns, certainty of profit, or endorsements of specific products is strictly prohibited. Articles should describe mechanisms and concepts objectively.

Handling Controversial Topics

When discussing controversial aspects of crypto futures, such as regulatory uncertainty or market manipulation concerns, all established, verifiable perspectives must be included. Speculation or personal opinions have no place in the article content.

Verifiability and Sourcing

Information presented must be verifiable through reliable, published sources.

Reliable Sources

Sources should generally be established financial news outlets, academic publications, regulatory filings, or official documentation from recognized industry bodies. Sources must be independent of the subject being discussed, where possible.

Citation Requirements

All factual claims, statistics, definitions, and non-obvious statements must be supported by inline citations using the tags. When a source is used, the appropriate citation template must be employed.

Primary Sources

While primary sources (such as exchange rulebooks or white papers) may be used to describe the mechanics of a specific instrument or platform, they should not be used to support claims about market performance or general financial advice.

Content Guidelines

The scope of this wiki is educational and descriptive regarding the mechanics, history, regulation, and terminology of crypto futures trading.

No Financial Advice

Articles must not offer financial advice. This includes recommendations on when to buy or sell, which assets to trade, or specific risk management techniques presented as guaranteed successful strategies. Content should focus on explaining what a futures contract is, how it functions, and what risks are generally associated with it.

Clarity and Accessibility

Content should be written clearly and accessibly for a beginner audience while maintaining technical accuracy. Complex concepts should be explained using appropriate analogies or step-by-step descriptions.

Scope Creep

Articles should remain focused on crypto futures. While related topics (like spot markets or general cryptocurrency concepts) may be mentioned for context, they should not dominate the article.

Editing Conduct

Editors are expected to engage in constructive and respectful collaboration.

Consensus Building

Disagreements over content should be resolved through discussion on the article's associated talk page, aiming for consensus based on policy and reliable sources, not personal preference.

Vandalism and Spam

Any content that is deliberately false, disruptive, promotional, or violates these policies will be removed promptly. Editors engaging in repeated vandalism or spamming will face sanctions.
