Jiggywikki:Overhaul 2025/Part 1

This page is part of the 2025 overhaul.

So, let's have a look at everything in the namespaces where policies, guidelines, help pages, and such belong. Do we need this? Has it been copied from wikia/fandom, or Wikipedia, or the Super Mario Wiki, or somewhere else? Is the idea sound but we'd like to put our own spin on it? These are the sorts of questions that need answering.

Since this is just part 1, we don't necessarily need to get too in-depth yet. In the end, we're just looking for one of these three decisions for each page:

• Keep - This page is fine how it is. We should keep it without serious changes.
• Mend - This page is worth keeping, but not as-is. It needs serious changes to fit what we want the culture to be, or to remove the parts that don't apply (or we don't want to apply). The details are for later.
• Toss - This page should be removed. This policy doesn't apply to us, or we don't want this guideline in our culture, or we think this page is full of bad advice. (Depending on the situation, we might not literally delete it for historical purposes.)

That said, hopefully this does not become just a vote count. Saying "I vote keep" doesn't help us understand your reasoning for why you think that. Some cases may be blatant, sure, but presumably not most of them.

As the guy running the overhaul, I (Toomai) will give a chance for others to begin the discussion first, and chime in afterward. I don't want it to look like I'm deciding things in the first place and others are compelled to just follow along.
