Categories

 * Check with an administrators before adding more than an isolated category or two. Too many incorrect categories are added and have to be deleted. A good rule of thumb is that if a category is not on a similar page then it is likely wrong for the system that we have.
 * A user that abuses adding categories risks their account being blocked by an Administrator

Images

 * Images should be given appropriate filenames that reflect the content. Images with meaningless names may be renamed or deleted.

Blocking
Temporarily blocking a user account is the method by which administrators may technically prevent users from editing. Blocks are used to prevent vandalism or disruption. Blocks sometimes are used as a deterrent, to discourage whatever behavior led to the block and encourage a productive editing environment.

Any user may request a block to any admin for incidents of vandalism or disruption. Users requesting blocks should supply credible evidence of the circumstances warranting a block. Administrators are not obliged to place a block.

Blocked users can appeal their blocks by making a statement on their talk page. Unless in the case of error, administrators should not undo other administrators' blocks without prior discussion.
