elanthipedia talk:Policy

Personal and vanity topics

If there is a discussion on this elsewhere or an already-existing policy by all means point me to it.

There should be a hardline policy on posting vanity pages and personal topics anywhere but in your own namespace. I just got finished moving two "proposal" pages with little to no bearing on actual game lore or mechanics into the creator's namespace, and it occurs to me that the more popular Elanthipedia gets the more stuff like this will pop up.

I also have concerns for adding vanity to pages. The biggest risk I think is pages on things like orders or militias; I don't think pages like this should turn into platforms from which to sell themselves. They should contain factual information about the orders, links to websites, and the names of the leaders, but not big sections on why they are the best or most awesome and why you should join now and get a free cookie.

That's pretty much it, was wondering what other people would think of that. Reene 15:43, 11 November 2007 (CST)

There's a page for policy discussions on the Town Green: Elanthipedia:Town Green (policy). I'm going to repost your comment and respond there. --Farman 11:50, 12 November 2007 (CST)

redirect to town green policy page?

Come to think of it, I'm considering making this page redirect to Elanthipedia:Town Green (policy). Anyone have a good reason not to? --Farman 20:30, 12 November 2007 (CST)
