it was a temporary measure) but doesn't seem to cover the much more
important policy shift.
What was temporary about it? I haven't tried recently to create an
article as an anonymous, but judging from the continued existence of
WP:AFC, Wales's decision still stands (despite broken faith as to a
study of the effects).
And policy? The writer focused on the right thing - code is law.
