Proposed adoption (before problems happen)[edit]

I have added two guideline proposals that I think should be discussed and adopted (if acceptable) sooner rather than later. The reason I think this is it would be easier to have all (or at least most) of the pages already using a standard format instead of waiting.

These standards are possibly different that currently accepted on GWW, and I think that they are an improvement, as they follow actual English language standards closer (in my opinion) than those in GWW. I do not believe that, as I have said on the policies talk page, that the standards from GWW should just have blanket acceptance as-is on here, as I have seen some differences between them, and actual English language standards. 42 - talk 18:36, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

No trivia for GW2 Wiki[edit]

I propose that GW2 wiki adopt a no trivia policy or guide line. Simply put, trivia is not to be documented in any way, confirmed or not, on GW2 wiki. It's a huge pain in the ass on Guild Wiki and people make trivial references to everything no matter how absurd. Considering ArenaNet's history of going overboard with the trivia references this is going to be another contentious issue in the future of GW2 wiki. Nip it in the butt before it becomes a problem. 114.78.8.119 12:47, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Trivia can be interesting.-- Shew 15:00, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
I disagree, trivia can be fun. And based on the way anet loves pulling in pop-culture, I say we keep trivia Venom20 [User_talk:Venom20] 17:03, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Trivia is a bit of work, but it is worth it, so disagreed with removing it. --Xeeron 10:29, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Re: deletion[edit]

I'm hesitant to delete these pages; even though we don't use them, they're a pretty good source of information. Is there something we can put on them to say they're outdated/not used/etc that isn't a delete tag? -Auron 07:16, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Why not treat them like the corresponding policy (proposal) pages and archive them with an archive tag on top? --Xeeron 11:27, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
I can dig it. --Riddle 13:45, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I agree with keeping some of the guidelines, but I don't think this page should be kept. It's just a sketch of a Guidelines page with a very small and incomplete list of guidelines, one of which doesn't even exist anymore. I would rather make this into a redirect to the Policy article and list all suspended guidelines there, so everything we have discarded is in a single place. Erasculio 22:37, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
