Re: [WikiEN-l] Summarising policies and guidelines

Hello all, I have an informal project to produce a summary of every policy and guideline "in a nutshell" at [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines]]. I envisage that it would probably be useful to put that nutshell summary on the policy pages in question, but that can wait until such summaries are agreed upon. The goal is basically to have a page that can explain *every policy and guideline* to a user in a minute or two. Currently we have no real limits on how many policies and guidelines there are, and nothing stopping contradictory P/Gs being created. Consequently, people can pick and choose which P/Gs they follow, and we end up having silly pages like [[WP:ENC]] being created (I notice someone put the {policy} template back on it, despite no consensus or active discussion...). Some sort of formal recognition that "yes, we have a community abide by the following 37 rules that we have created" would be good. If anti-anarchistic ;) Anyway, if anyone feels like summarising a policy or guideline in one line or so, or contributing any ideas on layout or project goals or whatever, please do. There is discussion on an earlier version of the project at [[template talk:Guideline one liner]]. Steve
