User:P858snake/Sandbox/ReWriteRules

These are not so much proposed rules, but proposals to the pre-exising systems so they work better. Some of the noticeboards that i quickly found for users lodging complaints: For example:
 * 1) Simpler style guidelines
 * 2) Cleanup MoS so is easier to understand for less advanced editors.
 * 3) Reduce the number of subpages so content is easier to find
 * 4) Have a common place for style guidelines (for example some WikiProjects store their own in their place and some contradict MoS standards)
 * 5) Make sure standards/documents don't contradict each other. An example of that is
 * WP:MOSNUM » "the first occurrence of each unit should be linked"
 * WP:OVERLINK » "It is generally not necessary to link... Plain English words, including common units of measurement".
 * 1) A example of this issue can be seen at ANI (Perma Link)
 * 2) Define some of the documentation meanings. Some of examples of this inculde:
 * 3) "Common English"
 * 4) What is common english?.
 * 5) This "common english" could/would/does easier differ on the country its being taught in.
 * 6) For example its common for me just to refer the temperature as 22 but that's not common in America because they use a different system, or i use the letter M for meters where as some locations don't and write it out fully.
 * 7) Reduce locations of noticeboards for different matters (For example it can be hard for some less advanced users to find the correct one and they default to AN)
 * 1) Wikiquette alerts aka WP:WQA
 * 2) Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents aka WP:ANI
 * 3) Administrators' noticeboard aka WP:AN
 * 4) Standardize Usernames for certain things. A example for this would be:
 * 5) Bots » Most have the world in their username but some don't (Easier to notice on Recent Changes/Page Watchlist)
 * 6) Common sense when it comes to images. Sure a article does look nice with images but don't overload it and lay them out nicely.
 * 1) Don't go overboard, eg: as my IRC quote has already been shown by AddShore "The penis article doesn't need like 200+ images/examples" Sure it might benefit for a image or two and maybe a diagram but it doesn't need much more than that.
 * 2) But there is a free version, we should use that instead. Free isn't always better, If theres a Fair Use image that identifies that image subject better than a Public Domain/GFDL one, i'm all up for using it.
 * 3) Layout the images nicely, eg: (This) looks worse than (This). Don't be afraid to move them into different sections, place them different sides of the page or even thumbnail them so they appear smaller.
 * 4) Ban the whole "Unwritten Rules" system, it just causes more problems and issues than its worth
