Proceeding to RfC

I asked some people whose expertise I trust on these things, and they didn't feel this was likely to lead to a productive outcome. One specifically mentioned that the open-ended structure is unlikely to get us closer to a consensus on the questions, and suggested it may be better to draft a page and seek approval for it that way. It does make me a bit less optimistic, and so I'm not going to try facilitate the RfC myself, but I suppose it's entirely possible the discussion ends up more productive than expected. If it's to proceed, and it currently looks like it's proceeding, I'd suggest tagging the top with {{rfc|policy}} and adding it to T:CENT and mentioning it at WP:VPP, WT:RS and WT:V to ensure representativeness and a range of opinions.

No idea really. It was very much a draft (for which, thanks) and now it has firmed up a little but it is still more in the way of a pre RFC. Maybe it will turn into a full fledged thing or at least take us to a point where we could essay a guideline in a more complete RFC. It's getting some attention just now because of the ongoing discussions so that's a good thing.Selfstudier (talk) 23:21, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
