Please see [[Wikipedia:Advertising discussions]], a proposal I've made to formalise guidelines on where and how the largest discussions should be advertised around Wikipedia to ensure sufficient input to major discussions. Improvements to the page and input on the talk page would be appreciated.

Hmm. I'm going through that list there, and it is actually rather difficult to decide what level of exposure to pitch a small proposal like this at. So far, I've done:
*Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals) *Wikipedia:Village pump (policies) *Wikipedia talk:Canvassing *Wikipedia talk:Consensus *Wiki-en-l mailing list
The last one was a bit unnecessary really.
The Community bulletin board, CENT template, and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Policies feel a bit like overkill. I suppose it is the difference between wanting some input and wanting some formal approval (that should really come later by some ill-defined "common practice" assessment - if this is common practice, it should be a guideline immediately, if not, more discussion is needed). Other options are even "higher" and less appropriate.
So I am going to stop there and see what input results.
