==Typos, etc.==
Policies and guidelines can be edited like any other Wikipedia page. It is not strictly necessary to discuss changes or to obtain judge's certification in advance. However, because policies and guidelines are sensitive and complex, writers should take care over any edits, to be sure they are faithfully reflecting the community's view and to be sure they are not accidentally introducing sources of error or confusion.

It is, naturally, bad practice to recommend a rejected practice on a policy or guideline page.

==Substantive changes==
'''Implement.''' Before making substantive changes to policy and guideline pages, it is sometimes useful to try to establish a reasonable exception to the existing practice. To try to update the existing best practices this way, you may directly deviate from a judge's certification. USE THE TALK PAGE! After some time, if there's no objections to the change, you can then edit policy and guideline pages describing the practice to reflect the new situation.

'''Talk first.''' Talk page discussion typically precedes substantive changes to policy. Changes may be made if there are no objections or if discussion shows there is consensus for the change. Minor edits to improve formatting, grammar, and clarity may be made at any time.

If the result of discussions is unclear, then it should be evaluated by an administrator or judge. Major changes should also be publicized to the community in general; announcements similar to the proposal process may be appropriate.

If wider input on a proposed change is desired, it may be useful to mark the section with the tag <nowiki>{{Under discussion|section|talk=Discussion Title}}</nowiki>. (If the proposal relates to a single statement, use <nowiki>{{Under discussion inline|Discussion Title}}</nowiki> immediately after it.)

'''Or just do it!''' Although most users find prior discussion, especially at well-developed pages, very helpful, directly editing these pages is permitted by fascipedia's policies. Consequently, you should not remove any change solely on the grounds that there was no formal discussion for the change before it was made. Instead, you should give a substantive reason for challenging it either in your edit summary or on the talk page. The worse thing that may happem is that somebody will revert it.

Remember: Editing a policy to support your own argument in an active discussion will be seen as gaming the system, especially if you do not disclose your involvement in the argument when making the edits. A judge will probably get involved.
