Why does this exist? It looks like Wikipedia
Yes, this website looks a bit like Wikipedia because it uses MediaWiki. We wanted to take a lot of cues from Wikipedia so we inherited their policies and guidelines, with the only exceptions described immediately below.
There are two ways that we intentionally differ from Wikipedia:

- We allow original research. Wikipedia's 'no original research' policy does not apply here. For the avoidance of doubt, Wikipedia's copyright policy and plagiarism guideline do apply here.
