維基學院:假定善意

WV:FAITH

本頁是維基學院的方針、指引或或程序的草案。
該草案可能仍在草議中、討論中或正在達成共識以便通過。

假定善意是維基學院的基本原則。既然我們允許任何人進行編輯，也就是說我們假設所有人的編輯都是善意而非刻意破壞維基學院的。如果我們不信任任何人，那麼像維基學院一樣的項目從一開始便註定是失敗的，這原則也叫第一信任原則。

When you can reasonably assume that a mistake someone made was a well-intentioned attempt to further the goals of the project, correct it without criticizing. When you disagree with someone, remember that they probably believe that they are helping the project. Consider using talk pages to explain yourself, and give others the opportunity to do the same. This can avoid misunderstandings and prevent problems from escalating.

新手的行為在他自己看來可能合適，而當出現相關問題時，通常意味着他們不了解或誤解維基學院的獨特文化。新手往往相信某些不熟悉的方針應該更新，讓條例就如他們認定的那樣正確地運作，這並非罕見的事。特別是在他們發現涉及的方針的分歧已達到一定程度的時候。類似地，許多新手具備經驗和專業知識，他們期望自己的貢獻能被接受而毋用遭受質疑。在這些方面出現的行為，可能被誤導，但通常是沒有惡意的，因此不假定他們懷有惡意。許多對維基學院慣例缺乏直觀理解的新手一旦對維基學院方針和指引背後的邏輯更加清楚了解，他們就會漸漸改變觀點。

當編輯者的行為顯然與項目的目標背道而馳時，編輯者的行為不能再被假定善意。Actions inconsistent with good faith contributions to the project's goals include vandalism, sockpuppetry, and other clear instances of intentional deceit.

Assuming good faith also does not mean that no action by editors should be criticized, but instead that criticism should not be attributed to malice unless there is specific evidence of malice. Accusing the other side in a conflict of not assuming good faith, without showing reasonable supporting evidence, is another form of failing to assume good faith.
