== Tagged Feeds == | |||
Because of its large, diverse and global audience, Planet is a powerful tool to amplify the voices of its participants. With that in mind, a tagged feed is intended to act as a trigger guard, indicating that an article's inclusion on Planet is deliberate. This should not be interpreted as a promise that the article in question is Mozilla-related, only that it is intended for the Planet audience. | |||
As a courtesy to that audience, we ask (but do not mandate) that articles on challenging, non-Mozilla topics have a brief disclaimer at the beginning, outlining the contents. | |||
