Misplaced Pages talk:Naming conventions (Vietnamese)

(Q1) should Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (Vietnamese) be returned from Category:Misplaced Pages naming conventions to Category:Misplaced Pages naming conventions proposals until it has gone through a consensus editing, proposal and adoption process? (Q2) if the answer to Q1 is yes then Q2 should the {draft} banner be restored, or alternatively replaced with the {historical} banner? In ictu oculi (talk) 16:50, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Village pump (proposals)

Currently, there are about 200 indefinite rangeblocks on various IPs, most of which are non-required now. A previous proposal on this Village Pump, which sought to remove these old rangeblocks under controlled conditions passed successfully. This proposal is to finalize all the various details on that proposal, and to carry forward with it.

Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for comment

Proposed, to add a section to the page Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment, the section to be titled "RfC on main page items" and the content to consist of the sentence "Publication of a main page item (such as 'today's featured article') is suspended while a valid RfC on the item is open".

The intent and probable effect of this addition is twofold:

  1. To establish, by clear inference, that RfC on main page items are indeed permitted and operative.
  2. To specify how main page items are to be handled in these cases.

Survey

  • Neutral Oppose. Herostratus' wall-of-text below has convinced me that RfCs and DYK noms are very different types of discussion, so his suspending one discussion to open another wasn't (or shouldn't have been) as counter-productive as it first appeared to me. That said, I don't think it's an ideal situation, and shouldn't be explicitly endorsed by the guidelines (per WP:BEANS). And given that, as far as I'm aware, there's only ever been one such RfC in the history of Misplaced Pages, the proposed rule doesn't seem necessary at this point. These RfCs ought to be sufficiently rare that the validity of each can be discussed individually. So, in short, I'm voting for status quo – RfCs on main page items should be neither explicitly allowed nor forbidden.DoctorKubla (talk) 07:27, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
