Editorial Guidelines

Last Updated: May, 2026

WiTechPedia is dedicated to building the internet’s most reliable, accessible, and comprehensive technology encyclopedia. To maintain our high standards and ensure our readers can trust the wikis, guides, and reviews published on our platform, all contributors and editors must adhere to the following Editorial Guidelines.

Core Editorial Principles

  1. Accuracy & Fact-Checking: Technology moves fast, but accuracy must come first. All technical claims, specifications, and historical tech data must be verified against primary sources (e.g., official documentation, manufacturer specs, or academic papers).
  2. Neutral Point of View (NPOV): WiTechPedia is an encyclopedia, not a promotional blog. Articles must be written objectively, representing technical facts without personal bias. When covering competing technologies (e.g., React vs. Angular), both sides must be presented fairly.
  3. Originality: Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. All contributions must be original writing. While we encourage citing external sources, copying and pasting content from other websites violates our Copyright Policy and will result in immediate removal.

Guidelines for Specific Content Types

  1. Wikis & Glossaries: Must be concise, definitive, and structured logically. Use clear headings, bullet points, and code snippets where appropriate to explain technical architectures or programming concepts.
  2. How-To Guides & Tutorials: Instructions must be clear, sequential, and tested. Where possible, include screenshots, exact terminal commands, or code blocks to assist the reader.
  3. Product & Software Reviews: Reviews must be based on genuine, hands-on experience. We require reviewers to test the software, tool, or hardware they are writing about. Any affiliate links must be clearly disclosed at the top of the article.

AI-Generated Content Policy

While we recognize the utility of AI in the tech industry, WiTechPedia does not publish raw, unedited AI-generated articles. * AI tools may be used for brainstorming, outlining, or drafting code snippets.

However, all published text must undergo rigorous human review, fact-checking, and editing to ensure it meets our standards for expert insight, original thought, and accurate context. Pure AI “spam” submissions will be rejected.

Formatting and Style

  1. Clarity: Avoid unnecessary jargon. When introducing a complex technical term for the first time, provide a brief definition.
  2. Structure: Use H2 and H3 tags to break up large blocks of text.
  3. Media: Only upload images, diagrams, or charts that you own or that are licensed for free, public use.

Moderation and Corrections

WiTechPedia utilizes a community-driven and editor-reviewed moderation system.

  1. Vandalism: Intentional deletion of accurate info, insertion of spam links, or promotional abuse will result in an account ban.
  2. Corrections: If you spot an error in an article, we encourage you to edit it to improve the wiki. If you are unable to edit the page, please report the error to our editorial team at support@witechpedia.com.
