Policy discussion

Support

  1. Support as nom. Serpent SKSig.png King 12:42, 8 July 2017 (EDT)
  2. Support this is basically policy already, it just hasn't been written down before now, so I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be made official. Alex Parpotta the flying lobster! 13:14, 8 July 2017 (EDT)
  3. Support, but only as a policy. --- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 13:17, 8 July 2017 (EDT)
  4. Shut up and take my support! --BeepYouSignature.png Beep BeepYouSignature.png (talk) 16:43, 8 July 2017 (EDT)
  5. May be a little late, but support, this is the way I've been trying to do things personally and I have no problems with it Nymbaresigicon.png Nymbare and his talk 17:02, 8 July 2017 (EDT)
  6. Support Area51Guard.png A51 Trooper 19:42, 8 July 2017 (EDT)
  7. Support, because we definitely need a clear-cut procedure for a consensus. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the Internets go! :3 20:32, 8 July 2017 (EDT)

Oppose

Neutral

  1. Neutral leaning towards oppose. I'm not sure that there's even a need to explain the concept, and going too much into specifics could be overly restrictive and rigid. Nyargleblargle.pngNyargleblargle (Contribs) 20:47, 8 July 2017 (EDT)

Comments

Will this be considered a policy or a guideline?

Not entirely sure at the present, although I think I am leaning more towards guideline. Serpent SKSig.png King 13:14, 8 July 2017 (EDT)
I'd support as a policy, but not as a guideline; I feel this is something that should be considered a "core" policy of any Wiki.

Yeah maybe you're right. Serpent SKSig.png King 13:18, 8 July 2017 (EDT)

Related to the idea of needing consensus for major template or style changes: perhaps we should specify seeking consensus for layout or design changes affecting a large number of pages at once? It's a recurring issue of someone deciding to make a change on 40 pages at once without having any discussion first, and trying to revert a ton of changes at once just to restore status quo during a talk page discussion is a real headache.
