Due to historical and technical reasons, English Moegirlpedia has adopted and will continue to adopt many Chinese Moegirlpedia policies; however, local policies that is native to English Moegirlpedia is an option too – this exact policy happens to be a specimen of a local policy.

Global Policies

A global policy may be defined as one of the following:

A guideline global policy may be rejected by the local community and thus not adopted, adapted, or enforced.

A standard global policy shall automatically be enforceable in English Moegirlpedia; however, local communities may choose to adapt it to better suit local use without global intervention.

A strict global policy shall automatically be enforceable in English Moegirlpedia, and no local adaptation can be made unless reviewed by the global authorities.

Adaptation is the modification of the global policy for use in English Moegirlpedia; it may be made as in-line changes or amendments, as long as the addition, removal, and modification of the original text is made obvious. An adapted global policy should still be constantly updated against the original version, but the adaptations will stay as is unless modified via the standard process for changing policies.

If necessary, a global policy that is not strict can be replaced by a local policy. The replacement should serve the same principal function of the global policy being replaced; in case of replacing a SGP, it must be reviewed and accepted by the global authorities.
