Forum:Housekeeping

Hello everyone.

So, as you know, the Conworlds Wiki is full of underdeveloped stubs and essentially blank pages. For this we can thank users who stayed for a few months and then left, never to be seen again. Therefore, we are left with pages such as ABAS and ASCI, which are generally not even considered pages in their own right, rather, just a sentence or two about something that could have been greatly expanded upon. As we at the Conworlds Wiki have existed for years, I feel like we should attempt to present the community in such a way that shows it.

Henceforth, I propose that pages begin to meet a specific set of guidelines until they can be considered full pages, and pages which do not meet these guidelines after a certain amount of time without activity thus be deleted. Therefore, we can keep track of pages which are under full page candidacy and insure that no page goes without meeting the requirements before it is insured with "untouchability" by admins without explicit approval from the author (unless of course the author has been gone for a very long time).

Here is what I propose:


 * 1) New pages use the template until the page reaches the requirements for the full page title.
 * 2) Pages remain in the candidacy period until they reach 5,000 bytes in size (as this is Conworlds and not Wikipedia, there should be no reason it should not be able to be developed that large).
 * 3) Pages serve a purpose and are not short segments which can be easily added to larger pages.
 * 4) Pages which do not meet these requirements be deleted in their candidacy period after 1 month of no further development.
 * 5) Upon the completion of the candidacy period, the template is removed, and that page enjoys full page rights.
 * 6) Full pages cannot be altered without the explicit consent of the author.
 * 7) If the author is not active or does not respond within 3 months of notification, the page becomes subject to Administrator management.
 * 8) Pages created before these new policies be deleted if they do not meet the requirements within 1 month after the final vote on this matter.

As I am not an Administrator, I do not have the power to make this possible on my own. Therefore, I will begin a petition for this Housekeeping policy here.

Aye
