Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not about us

This is a statue of Notus, a Greek wind god. Please don't add a WP:NOTUS hatnote to our article about him. Its readers don't care about our essays.

If you're viewing this page, Wikipedia doesn't exist for your benefit.

Well, it does, assuming that you're a human. But it's also written for the other >99.9% of users—the ones who don't visit the "MediaWiki" namespace, don't know how to modify their CSS, and probably don't even edit.

Before arguing that we need to do something a certain way to remain neutral in an edit war, avoid offending the members of a WikiProject, or ensure compatibility with a custom script that your friends and you use, please consider how this course of action affects the aforementioned >99.9%. You know, the encyclopedia's readers.
