One of Misplaced Pages's rules to consider:
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.
Philosophical note
Our primary purpose here is to create an encyclopedia. The rules that exist on Misplaced Pages exist only to support that purpose. Our policies are meant to be neither straitjacket nor cudgel; 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 in their actions here. 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 'rules-lawyering'–will attract censure.
Ignoring all rules is about cutting through bureaucracy and red tape to construct an encyclopedia; it should never be used to justify actively disruptive or destructive behaviour. By the same token, IAR should never be used by administrators to make up and enforce their own set of rules.
