When someone can come up with a reasonable policy that can distinguish between dictionary entries and encyclopaedia entries, without using the self-referential terms "dictionary definition" or "encyclopaedic", then perhaps it will serve some purpose.

Is is so bad? A dicdef is in some sense a kind of stub. The problem comes when it is incapable of being more than that. If [[ouch]] were just an article saying it was an exclamation associated with feeling pain, then that would be a valid criticism.
