Essay or Policy?

The page is currently tagged with Template:Essay. However, there has already been consensus to use Protocol-relative URLs when websites support both HTTP and HTTPS. I have changed the template to Template:Policy per WP:BOLD but the change was soon reverted by Green Cardamom, citing the fact that "the discussion doesn't concern the implementation of this proposal." I don't really understand how that works; if the community has already decided to "use HTTPS links for HTTPS only sites, protocol relative links for sites that support both HTTP and HTTPS, and HTTP links for sites that don't support HTTPS at all", why is a page saying that PRURLs should be used still just an "essay" of opinions?
