Wikidata precautionary principle
editAny and all edits using Wikidata must have been previously approved in a discussion or vote, otherwise they shall be reverted on sight. This applies to the use of Wikidata in entries, templates, modules, categories, appendices and any other pages.[1]
Some exceptions apply, where Wikidata may be freely used for tests and proposals:
- sandbox pages (such as Wiktionary:Sandbox, Template:sandbox and Module:sandbox, and subpages)
- user pages and subpages
- discussion pages
- new templates and modules, if they are not transcluded anywhere (other than transclusions in the exceptional pages mentioned here)
- live and in-use templates and modules, if the changes only affect diagnostic output such as tracking templates or tracking categories, and do not affect the appearance of any page
