General discussion
Is there somewhere for general discussion of how Ikwipedia works, similar to the 'Wikipedia' pages on Wikipedia? It seems like, there are a lot of things I can't quite make sense of that are general things rather than being specific to any one page - I know the basics of editing pages on Wikipedia and edit pages on Wikipedia sometimes, but there are some specific things I can't quite make sense of on Ikwipedia and wasn't sure whether they're intentional or things that just haven't been done yet.

- Thank you for your interest and contributions, @Millipede! We've started to explain our overall philosophy and approach on these pages: Ikwipedia:About, Source transparency, Motivations for Ikwipedia, Acceptable sources, Evidence, Manual of Style, Neutral point of view, Notability, Published, Reliable sources, Replies to objections, Synthesis and interpretation of source material, Testimonial accounts, Article creation. We plan to update, expand, and organize these pages to be more clear, including, among other things, regarding how our approach differs from Wikipedia.
- The recommendations and practices, like on article management, are still evolving and subject to change. Unfortunately, we don’t yet have truly exemplary articles to show what we think would be ideal. We are working on this.
- In the meantime, I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

- Here is an example that has multiple issues/problems but gives an idea of what an interesting article might include in that it synthesizes allegations regarding a common topic from a multitude of alleged witnesses, albeit from primary sources and testimonial accounts.
