Forum:Policy

Not really a forum page, but it's here nonetheless.

Here's the rules for this page. Basically, it's a discussion of policy. Feel free to add anything or make suggestions. Stupid or irrelevant comments will be deleted. Sign after making your comment.

Alright, Insurgence here, making this new page. There's a couple policy things that I want to suggest and possibly change, but the one that immediately floats to the top of my mind is the amount of policy pages we have. Frankly, it's ridiculous. Most new editors hardly read the policy pages at all, and even if they do, we can't expect them to read ten different pages! I propose that we merge pages into one (or two) big articles. That way, even if the editors don't read it, when they do something stupid we can simply redirect them to that page, instead of citing a couple dozen policy quotes on 5 separate pages. I want to hear other people's (especially other admin's) opinions on how this could be done quickly and effectively. We could let each policy get it's own little section or clause on the big page, we could have similar policies grouped together under one heading. Anyway, I'm eager to hear the input of this community. Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 23:07, June 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I like your merging idea, man. Some of our policy pages definitely can and should be merged upon others. Although clumping everything in just one or two pages would be perhaps too long and uneasy to read; I'm confident we can easily short the total number to five or six. On a semi-related note, I'd like to take this opportunity to show you a couple of new policies which, IMO, will help new users a lot: ASW:What Makes ASW Unique? and ASW:Naming Conventions. Keep in mind that these too can be merged with others if you wish. I have also came up with Template:Policy Navigation in order to help new users (and ourselves!) keep up with all policy pages. Once we proceed with the merging, the template too will obviously become shorter :- D BlueFrackle 00:20, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
