PikminFanon:General content guidelines/vote

Should we institute this policy?

Comments
Subareas should be added, explaining that they are not mandatory, but could be used if the creator of an area wants to have their area very detailed...
 * This is a policy, so it really just has the rules and shouldn't contain too much additional information. If you want to help me make the tutorial for area articles, that's where we would include it.

Oh... I just had an idea. Perhaps on the enemy format, there could be a section titled "Other", which has trivia and/or other interesting information. Does this sound good?


 * That's what the "Notes and Other Information" section is for. By the way, I like your comments, I'm glad you want to make sure the policy is good enough before you will support it. We need more of your kind of editor on this wiki.


 * Erm... must we follow this policy if it goes into effect? I talked to Greenpickle about the policy and he said something about "you will always find a case where you need to do something outside the format". Besides, I can create high-quality pages using a similar format (maybe not using the policy's format at all). He also did say that the policy should be guidelines, not rules, and I think so too. I'm sorry for all this clarification, but I must clarify all questions I have...


 * Hmmm. I'm still leaning on making it rules; unlike many other wikis, the articles are not based on fact and are created from scratch, and you can't really enforce guidelines; there is also a note at the start that says exceptions will be allowed if somehow the format does not apply. Than again, there's not enough people to vote on the issue, so how about we make it guidelines now, and perhaps when we have more users we can vote on whether to make them rules or not.


 * I think that it should be guidelines, so that new users won't be overwhelmed by this "intimidating" format.


 * I must admit, I strongly agree with Wraith. My vote is final: I vote against.

Looks like time to discuss a new proposal
The vote is still pretty close, but I doubt anyone else will vote, and I'm starting to lean against the proposed policy now as well. It was strict, but it was based on the new rules for enemy pages. I still think we need to organize the information in some way. I would suggest that for enemy/plant/fungus/character articles (and any other article has info from more than one fanon game/series) we go with the original alternative to this idea when the enemy article format was proposed - split it up into sub-pages and make the main page a disambiguation page. As for the required info, I would suggest that we still require it but don't require a certain format.
