Purpose
Budopedia is a platform for sharing knowledge about martial arts.
Respect Others
No harassment or threats. No discrimination or hate speech. Keep discussions civil.
Stay Relevant
Post content related to martial arts. Avoid off-topic discussions.
Content must contribute to martial arts knowledge, history, training, or analysis.
Quality Content
Share accurate information. Use sources when possible. Do not present opinion as fact in the Knowledge Base (Wiki).
Wiki content must be factual, documented, or reference-based.
Posts (Articles) may include analysis, interpretation, opinion, discussion, personal experiences, observations, and informed conclusions. Opinions and interpretations should be clearly presented as such and should not be presented as facts.
No Promotional Content
Promotional content, advertisements, personal marketing, and self-promotion are not permitted in either system.
Platform monetization (including advertising and affiliate links) is managed by Budopedia and does not allow user advertising or self-promotion.
The following content is not permitted:
- Club advertisements
- Event promotion
- Commercial marketing
- Ranking or title promotion
- Affiliate-style content
- Self-promotion or branding
- Undocumented claims presented as facts
However, links to your own websites, blogs, or pages, as well as references to other sources such as books, articles, or external websites, are permitted under the following conditions:
- The references and links must be relevant to the content and serve to support or supplement the information provided.
- They should primarily be intended to provide additional, helpful, and credible information.
- The links and references must not be used for misleading advertising, spamming, or excessive self-promotion.
In summary, you may include links and references to other sources if they genuinely enhance the content and are used responsibly, not as a means of deceptive promotion.
