All Wikipedia policies and guidelines have clear precedence over any conventions presented here, if there is any conflict between the two. The consensus of many editors formed the conventions described here, and articles related to Scouting should heed them. However, they are not set in stone and should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on this page's talk page. |
