Proposed MoS guideline

Note: the content on this page is not something I made up, it's merely a compilation of guidelines from various MoS pages aimed to let the reader get an overview. jonkerz ♠ 11:26, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Which means it's something somebody else made up.

It's bad enough having these expressions of prejudice at all, without having a separate page for them, which will evolve separately from the rest of MOS as some Secret Master of Wikipedia takes seizin of it.

The first sentence is ungrammatical; the rules are largely arbitrary; and anybody who's interested in formating mathematics or music will be looking at WP:MOSMATH and WP:MOSMUSIC anyway.

Remove the silly general rules here and where you found them; and send the subject sections back to the relevant subjects. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 14:48, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. There's no reason for this to exist as a separate page: each paragraph of it belongs somewhere else. A. di M. (talk) 15:12, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If this page to be used, it should itself be made MOS-compliant with regards to the accessibility guidelines, namely WP:COLOR - the "correctness" of some of the examples is indicated by colour alone, and note that coloured text should really only be used if there's a pressing reason to do so.
