I don't really know where to propose it, but I've been thinking about
this one for a while. I believe there are too many choices for
"problem resolution" pages, particularly pages in the Wikipedia:
namespace designed to list articles which need to improve in some way.
This includes Cleanup, Pages Needing Attention, Peer Review, and
Requests for Expansion. I think PNA is particularly redundant with
Cleanup, and PNA should be phased out. Four months ago I was a newbie
and I had no idea what the difference was between those pages. I'm
still a little unsure about PNA vs. Cleanup.
