Hi there! In terms of starting out, it is best to start small and work up. Seeing as your wiki is fairly new and, presumably, you are looking for more users, it is best not to make the policies too strict. Start off with some simple User Conduct policies like "Be friendly! Drop by to say "hello" to the wiki's users and Admins - they won't bite! Also, being a smaller wiki, policies should include tips for how users can edit the wiki. This both encourages the correct way to edit articles and encourages more users to your wiki. The guidelines can include:


 * how do I contribute?
 * what articles can I create?
 * how do I edit?
 * how do I participate in community discussions?
 * etc

When you're in a developing community, it is key to keep things flexible and always leave yourself open to new ideas. Another thing to do is top drop by some other wikis and have a look at their policies to see how they're worded and formatted. Hope this helps! :)
