This page documents a World War II Wiki guideline. It is a generally accepted standard that editors should follow, though it should be treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply.

This page documents an official project page on the World War II Wiki. It contains information that is part of the World War II Wiki's main organization and is considered an official part of the wiki that everyone should respect.

On the wiki, users have the ability to rank up as they edit. The ranking up system involves the use of user titles. No user on the wiki is given an automatic user title. Titles are earned by editing and gaining experience. 200 edits is the threshold to achieve the first title. There are three "professions" that the user can choose, but they will automatically assigned by an admin at first based on what types of articles the user edits most frequently if the user does not specify. These are the Army profession, the Navy profession, and the Army Air Force profession. The ranking system is based on the standard United States ranking system. Next to each title below will be the requirement.
It should be noted that while rank on the wiki will never be the outright decider in who's opinion to follow in an editing or community conflict, it does give a good picture of the wiki experience of the editors involved and thus will be taken into consideration.
