#Redirect [[EndMyopia:Ignore all rules]]
[[EndMyopia:Ignore all rules|'''Ignore all rules''']] is a funadmental principle of editing Wikipedia, and the same goes for Endmyopia Wiki as well.
 
==The essence of ignorance==
Implications of this policy are:
 
*You don't need to know ''all'' of the rules before contributing.
*If there's a better way to do something than what the rules say, do it the better way.
 
==Successfully ignoring rules==
Most of the time when editing Endmyopia Wiki, you don't really need to know what the rules are. Just [[EndMyopia:Be bold|be bold]], use common sense and you should be fine.
 
If you do "break" a rule – knowingly or unknowingly – another editor may explain to you which rule you broke. If you find the rule sensible, you will understand why the other editor suggested it should be followed. If you do not see the sense in it, however, you should explain why you disagree with it. Other editors will in turn respond, and with some luck, a sensible approach will eventually be adopted, which may involve ignoring the rule, following it, or taking an alternative approach that resolves the dispute to everyone's satisfaction.
 
==What ignore all rules doesn't mean==
You can't cite [[EndMyopia:IAR]] as a justification to do anything. Essential rules to consider are:
 
*[[EndMyopia:No medical advice]]
 
*[[EndMyopia:No unicorn farming]]
 
*[[EndMyopia:No optometry bashing]]
 
Although at the moment there are not many rules (to ignore), the above three are the most important. Other rules can be ignored as appropriate with common sense.
