Wikitroid:Requests for Comment/Use common sense

This RfC was closed at 22:49, April 22, 2013 (UTC) by -- The Exterminator  ( talk &bull;  email  &bull;  contribs ) with the final resolution of creating a policy that allows the implementation of "common sense" under special circumstances of policy conflictions. Please do not modifiy it.

Use common sense
Wikitroid's policies are meant to guide users to perform actions that will improve the wiki. However, occasionally they may get in the way of improving the wiki. They could also simply not apply to specific scenarios that are not clarified in the policy. This policies allows you to break a rule if and only if you have a good reason for doing so, or to determine whether a policy applies to a situation. A draft of the policy is here.

Proposed by TheMG  { talk /contribs} 18:24, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Question: Should a policy about using "common sense" when it comes to policies be created? Is the suggested policy clear in intent?
 * Possible positions: Agree if you wish to implement the policy. Agree, with changes if you wish to implement the policy with changes specified along with your reasoning. Disagree with proposed change if you have voted agree but do not want a specified change made. Neutral if you are unsure. Disagree if you do not want the policy implemented.
 * Default if no consensus: The policy will not be implemented if no consensus is reached.

Discussion

 * Agree As creator of the rfc. TheMG  { talk /contribs} 18:22, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Strongly agree As I've mentioned before, reducing some of the bureaucracy here is one of my goals. Mr. Anon (talk) 23:04, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Agree Dosen't seem wrong to me, it just may benefit. If it doesn't, we can just revert it. Sylux X 23:30, April 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Agree Heh, I just said on IRC, "ohmygod i see my favourite three words". Seriously though, if it helps everyone out, it's okay to not play by the book (but please, absolutely please don't do something that changes the entire wiki without discussing it, please? (including but not limited to altering wiki foundations, switching/detaching wiki hosts, and redesigning the theme to hot pink and neon green)). -- The Exterminator  ( talk &bull;  email  &bull;  contribs ) 01:44, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
