Pillar Five
Wikipedia does not have firm rules.
OK, we know you just read a bunch of rules. So what does this last one mean?
Rules in Wikipedia are not carved in stone. Their wording and interpretation are likely to change over time.
The principles and spirit of Wikipedia's rules matter more than their literal wording, and sometimes improving Wikipedia requires making an exception to a rule.
記事の更新は大胆に（でも荒唐無稽を避けます）。とにかくやってみて、失敗してもパニックしないでください。変更前のページはそのまま保存されており、失敗の回復ができるからです。最も重要なのは、トークページ — どの記事にも付属したページでウィキペディアンが作業内容の打ち合わせをする場所 — を活用して他の編集者と会話し、自分がどんな変更を計画しているか、実際に何をどう変更したか、その理由を述べましょう。
Think of it this way: You aren’t going to break Wikipedia (but please don’t try).
Wikipedia editing is about using your best judgment, and you may be asked to explain your decisions. Explaining why you decided to do something is part of being in any community of people.
