 :A mention of the UniWiki by a notable person is unlikely to justify a mention in their UniWiki article. To avoid self reference, a mention needs to reflect its [[Wikipedia:WP:DUE|importance in their overall body of work]]. For example, a radio host mentioning that he read a UniWiki article is not a very important event in his overall career. On the other hand,  the media attention surrounding [[Wikipedia:John Seigenthaler#Wikipedia controversy|John Seigenthaler]]'s Wikipedia entry is now a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia biography controversy|notable event]] in his public life.

-Self-references are sometimes found in the [[Help:Template|templates]] and the [[Wikipedia:Categorization|categories]].  Some of these are necessary or intrinsic to the purpose of the page, as with disambiguation information at the top of category pages and in {{tl|stub}} templates, which encourage readers to edit the page.  Unnecessary self-references are not encouraged in templates or categories, due to the need of third-party users to either delete those templates or modify them to remove the Wikipedia references.  For example, all {{tl|navbox}} templates should provide a list of related articles, but none of them should label these pages as "Wikipedia articles" or as "Related articles on this website".

 When forced to use templates like this, you should use them in a way such that the article still makes sense when the template is removed, in order to facilitate automated removal.
-Wikipedia project coordination pages should be under [[:Category:Wikipedia administration]], not in categories that contain main-namespace articles by topic. (A small number of articles ''about'' Wikipedia are in the mainstream categories and this is OK.) User pages may be categorized under [[:Category:Wikipedians]], but not in any of the subcategories under [[:Category:People]].
+User pages may be categorized under [[:Category:Pilots]], but not in any subcategories under [[:Category:People]]. If a player (whether they are known by their in-game name or not) becomes notable within the EVE community at large, an article separate from their User page should be written, even if they already possess a populated User page.

-The self-reference template, {{tl|Selfref}}, is used to mark pieces of text and links that wouldn't make sense on copies of Wikipedia. This gives the ability to programmatically remove all such references or transform them into external links. Thus, the end product can have all of its self-references removed automatically for users, such as forks and mirrors. This template is most often used as a [[Wikipedia:Hatnote|hatnote template]] to help guide editors from an article to a related Wikipedia policy or guideline page in the [[Wikipedia:Project namespace|Wikipedia project namespace]].
-In cases where a Wikipedia page should link to Wikipedia itself (for instance, at [[Wikipedia]]) and this link should be kept on mirrors, the format {{[[{{ns:Template}}:srlink|srlink]]&#124;link}} can be used to write the link as external, rather than internal when outside of Wikipedia, to prevent it breaking in mirrors. For instance: {{srlink|Main Page|Wikipedia's Main Page}} (made by <code><nowiki>{{srlink|Main Page|Wikipedia's Main Page}}</nowiki></code>) as opposed to [[Main Page|Wikipedia's Main Page]] (<code><nowiki>[[Main Page|Wikipedia's Main Page]]</nowiki></code>).
