Ok. Thanks for pointing that out.
I was unaware that had been done, and didn't recall the discussions here. Which probably says something about the policy having become too big and unwieldy.
However, I stand corrected on the record.
No worries. Like I say, it's inherently a low-profile thing - it only ever happens to obscure administrative subpages which are no longer read by anyone in the community. Unless you're actively ferreting around old AFD debates a lot, in which case you're prebably the sort of person who already knows about it, you're very unlikely to run across an example of it.
Short of having monthly refresher bulletins on all the minutae of administrative behaviour, I'm not sure we can really keep everyone informed about this sort of tangential thing :-)
