Be written in complete sentences.
Focus on useful information.
Be concise and easy to understand.

Avoid:

Marketing slogans
Excessive capitalization
Promotional language
Unsupported claims

Editorial Review Process

Every submission is reviewed before publication.

Our review may include:

Confirming the submitted address.
Verifying the selected category.
Reviewing the website description.
Checking for duplicate listings.
Assessing overall relevance to the directory.

We may edit titles, descriptions, formatting, or categories to improve consistency and readability.

Reasons a Submission May Be Declined

A submission may not be accepted if it:

Contains inaccurate or misleading information.
Duplicates an existing listing.
Uses promotional or spam-like language.
Lacks sufficient descriptive information.
Cannot be accessed at the time of review.
Does not fit the scope of our directory.
Violates our editorial standards.

Editorial decisions are made at our discretion.

Keeping Listings Current

The Onion ecosystem changes frequently.

Website owners and community members are encouraged to notify us when:

An address changes.
A listing becomes unavailable.
A description requires updating.
A category should be changed.
Contact information is no longer accurate.

Our goal is to keep the directory as current and reliable as possible.

You can help by:

Submitting new resources.
Reporting broken links.
Suggesting corrections.
Recommending new categories.
Providing constructive feedback.
Sharing educational resources.

Every contribution helps improve the platform for all visitors.

Editorial Independence

Submission does not create any obligation to publish, promote, or maintain a listing.

HiddenWiki retains full editorial discretion over:

Publication decisions.
Category assignments.
Listing titles.
Descriptions.
Updates.
Removal of outdated or inaccurate listings.

Editorial decisions are made independently and are not influenced by advertising or sponsorship.

Accuracy and Transparency

We encourage submitters to provide truthful, complete, and up-to-date information.

Deliberately false or misleading submissions may be rejected.

Where information cannot be independently verified, we may identify it as unverified or request additional details before publication.

Featured Listings

Organizations interested in additional visibility may inquire about featured listings or sponsorship opportunities.

Participation in advertising or sponsorship programs does not guarantee editorial approval or influence our review process.

Sponsored placements are clearly identified to maintain transparency with our readers.

Response Time

Submission review times may vary depending on the volume of submissions.

While we strive to review submissions promptly, we cannot guarantee a specific publication date or provide individual status updates for every submission.
