Line 19:
Although CivWiki [[CW:DEFER|defers to Wikipedia]], CivWiki is not Wikipedia, and has different requirements and needs. While Wikipedia is a general encyclopedia, CivWiki documents a very narrow genre of Minecraft servers, and caters to a smaller base of readers. For instance, CivWiki can assume readers are familiar with certain mechanics of vanilla Minecraft, where Wikipedia cannot.
 
Sometimes, these different needs means that CivWiki policies will be different from, or contain exceptions to, Wikipedia policies. As one example, CivWiki's [[CW:NOTABILITY|notability]] policy is significantly less strictlooser than Wikipedia's, which is a result of the smaller base of readers and increased interest in documenting one's own history among those readers.
