What are the official rules?

Are the rules at https://wiki.ss13.co/Rules the complete set of official rules?

If so, why do other pages on the wiki seem to contain rules? For example, from https://wiki.ss13.co/Security_Officer :

<quote>
A Security Officer does not have the authority to assign sentences any more severe than confiscation of stolen items and 5 minutes in the brig. Execution, permabrigging, poisoning with Discount Dan's, or anything, anything, ANYTHING else requires the okay of the Head in command.

Is that a rule?

The top link are the official server rules, meaning the things that will get you yelled at by admins and potentially receive warnings or bans for violating.

The security officer page is referring more to in-game, in-universe laws and rules, a category where stuff like Space Law exists in. These aren’t binding in the same sense as server rules in that an admin wouldn’t specially be annoyed with you for breaking them but it would be entirely possible to violate a server rule in the process of breaking these in-universe laws (think like randomly going around executing prisoners as sec).

Security guards shouldnt break these rules unless they ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO! Especially if you have to EXECUTE someone who is breaking the rules. (Since sometimes it's better to kill a rule breaker then let them go around and make a mess, I have done this twice where someone was being a shitter and I executed them and Ahelped them. Mostly since there was an antagonist around doing damage as well)

The offical rules you MUST follow and not try to break but if you break it by accident an admin will just warn you.

The security officer rules need to be followed but may be broken in extreme situations (Aka all command staff is dead/cryo'd, Antag caught trying to kill for the 4th time, etc) But mostly you need to take it chill as security.

The security officer page is a primarily player-written set of guidelines and not actual rules. While I do think that they are good guidelines, breaking those guidelines is not against the rules in and of themselves (although, as Mrfishstick said, several of the guidelines are rephrasings of the rules. e.g., permabrigging people without confirming that they're traitors is grief, which is against rule 1)
