iconThis page in a nutshell: All editors go through a series of levels in their understanding of Wikipedia.
Shu ha ri

Inmartial arts, there is a concept along the road to mastery calledshu ha ri[Note 1] that could be explained as:

  • One who is a beginner plays within the boundaries.
  • One who is proficient explores the boundaries.
  • One who is an expert creates the boundaries—or ignores them altogether.

While editingWikipedia:

  • Beginners don't know (or are only starting to learn) the rules.
  • Intermediate users learn the rules.
  • Advanced users learnthe spirit of the rules.
  • Finally, once users understand the spirit of the rules and principles, they can sometimesignore them.

Challenges

[edit]
Beginner

tip: Don't be afraid, just beBOLD! There's no way you can damage the wiki that can't be corrected in under a minute that doesn't get you in thestocks.

  • Edit Wikipedia, just make a change, go ahead! If you make a mistake, someone will correct you. If someone more experienced than you corrects you and points you at policy, assume good faith and learn what they are asking you to learn. Refusing to learn may result in the community deciding youcannot learn.

Intermediate

tip: you can pick up a lot of ideas about how consensus was previously formed by reading policy, guideline, and essay pages

  • Can you name thefive pillars of Wikipedia, and apply them?
  • What are some issues with the five pillars as chosen? Would you choose other pillars? Why?

Advanced

tip: Try to get people to react to you in ways that just happen to lie along the lines of policy. When in a discussion, instead of pointing to the policy itself, try to integrate your understanding of the policy in your own words, and try to convince people that way. You'll probably learn a lot from how they reply!

  • Do you understandWP:IAR?
  • If you are anadmin, can you enforce policywithout use of your admin tools?
  • Can you get people to follow policy, without making a single link to a policy page yourself?
  • Can you convince people to follow the principles behind the policy, simply by setting a good example?
