If rules make you nervous and depressed, then simply '''use common sense''' as you go about working on the encyclopedia. Being too wrapped up in rules can cause you to lose perspective, so there are times when it is best to '''ignore all rules''' ... including this one. |

Our purpose here is to create an ]. The rules exist only to support that purpose. Our policies are meant to be neither ] nor ]; they are merely a flexible framework within which we can cope with most common questions and problems. The spirit of our rules is far more important than their letter. |

Wikipedians are expected to use common sense. Actions that are reasonable but which contradict a strict reading of the rules should not be penalized, though they may be discussed. Actions that are obnoxious but not expressly forbidden — including the practice of ']' — will attract censure. |

|
'''Ignoring all rules''' is about cutting through bureaucracy and ] to construct an encyclopedia. |
|
|

It does not justify ] or destructive behaviour. Further, administrators should not use it to make up and enforce their own set of rules. |
