WiKirby:Policy referendum
Greetings, fellow Kirbites!
As many of you are doubtless aware, WiKirby is an old site, and many of its rules and policies were written back the early days, when the old staff were still operating. Over the course of time, as the wiki grew haphazardly, then fell into stagnation for a few years, many updates were made to the policy, some of these contradicted other policies, and many more were simply ignored in favTemplate:Or of unwritten mos maiorum (that's an old Roman term for unwritten rules of conduct, btw). Today, the old staff is largely gone, and the lot of you have seen fit to appoint me as your new Editor-in-Chief (thanks for that, btw. It really means a lot!) I believe that now is the time to look over the old policy pages and see what should and should not be kept, and what new policies should be written. To that end, I would like to obtain some input from you guys, to see if you have any ideas on how the wiki's policies should be adjusted.
Now, before we get too crazy, I should make it clear that I do not intend to completely overhaul the rules. Most of what's written already in spirit will be maintained as is, since it's still relevant today. This is more of an attempt to clean up some of the messier bits and to codify a lot of these unwritten norms we have going. I also mainly want to streamline the writing and organization so that it is more intuitive and easier to understand. For reference, you can find all of the current policies from the Help and policies page.
Here's where you guys come in. On the discussion page, I want you to bring up a proposal under a new section and then make your case. Any proposals made will be considered by me, and those I find appropriate will be placed in the section below labeled Proposals to form a list. Discussion and debate on proposals in the talk page are open to all members, and if one particular proposal gets a lot of support, it will be more strongly considered. Keep in mind, however, that this is not a fully democratic procedure, and I will veto any proposal, no matter how popular, if it is deemed unfit by me and/or Tacopill.
So here's your chance to help steer the wiki in a new direction. Is there anything about the current policy that bugs you? Are there any current policies that you really don't want me to change? Let me know in the discussion page! I will keep discussion open until 11:59:59 UTC on Sunday, September 22nd, 2019. See you around! --Fubaka (talk) 08:12, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
