There are very few policies which apply across all Wikia. These can be found on the Central Wikia at Wikia:Category:Policy.

Other policies for this Wikia should be decided by the wiki community. It's generally best to keep policies as simple as possible, and not to introduce too many rules. A growing wiki can usually do well with a few simple policies and a lot of goodwill and cooperation.

Adding [[Category:Policy]] to any policy pages will add them to the policy category. This is found here.

General[]

At GAW, our information sources come exclusively from the official Ghost Adventures website, Travel Channel, and Twitter accounts of Zak, Nick, and Aaron, along with released merchandise, such as DVDs and books. Any other "source" is considered invalid and if not properly cited will be subject to immediate deletion.

Article Policies[]

Episodes[]

When naming an article for an episode, please use the name used on the home video release (DVD, iTunes), as this is based as the "final" title for the episode. If it is not available on home video yet, please use what is listed on the official Ghost Adventures website or Travel Channel's website. Alternate or previous episode title names can be used as redirects when renaming, if necessary.

Fan/Unofficial Content[]

Fan-made or unofficial/rumored content is not permitted on the main article space, but it can be created within your respective username space. Please contact an admin if you require assistance setting this up.

Haunted Locations[]

Only articles of haunted locations investigated by the GAC are permitted. If it has never appeared or been mentioned on Ghost Adventures, then it does not belong here. No exceptions.

Evidence[]

Main article: Ghost Adventures Wiki:Evidence
