Now, if you have not done any Wikipedia Nordic Larp Wiki editing, you cannot directly make a new article in mainspace. This permission [[WP:ACPERM|is only]] for autoconfirmed users, which means those whose accounts are more than four days old and who have done at least ten edits.

==Introduction==
First, please be aware that Wikipedia Nordic Larp Wiki is an '''encyclopedia''', and our mission is to share accepted knowledge to benefit people who want to learn. We are not social media or a place to promote a company or product or person, or a place to advocate for or against anyone or anything. Please keep this in mind, always. (This is described in our "mission statement", [[WP:NOT|"What Wikipedia Nordic Larp Wiki is not"]].)
We find "accepted knowledge" in high quality, published sources. By "high quality" we mean books by reputable publishers, high-quality newspapers like ''The New York Times'', or [[literature reviews]] in the scientific literature. We ''summarize'' such sources here. That is all we do! Please make sure that anything you write in Wikipedia Nordic Larp Wiki is based on such sources - not what is in your head.
