"Ignore all rules" (IAR) is a policy of the English Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, which reads: "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it." The rule, under different language, was proposed by Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger to encourage editors to add information without focusing excessively on formatting, though Sanger later criticized the rule's effects on the community.
