Manual of Style/Register


This incomplete index of WP:MOS discussions should be deleted for reasons of WP:NOTBUREAUCRACY, WP:CCC, and desuetude. Surturz (talk) 07:11, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - I went looking (just now actually) for a past discussion. I'd never have found it without this. This isn't "bureaucracy" in the slightest, it's just like archived AfDs, people may need to see the past discussions, especially if they're opening a new one per WP:CCC. If it's incomplete, fix it and complete it (as current as possible), but don't just delete it. It's helpful, it's an internal list of past discussions, etc. Charmlet (talk) 12:55, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Charmlet's argument. I am not convinced that any part of WP:NOTBUREAUCRACY or WP:CCC supports deletion in this case. Keφr 14:03, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - main discussion was in a few threads at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 113. See also Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive Directory. would be able to give more details. –Quiddity (talk) 17:12, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep—The concept was publicized as the last item in a four-item list by Noetica in a discussion now archived at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 112 (31 December 2009). I initiated discussions about those four items.  Those discussions are archived at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 113 (January 2010), Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 113 (January 2010), Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 113 (January 2010), and Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 113 (January 2010).  I have occasionally seen  requests at WT:MOS for information about past discussions and decisions.  I do wish to expand and update Manual of Style/Register as well as Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive Directory.  There are very many things needing to be done on Wikipedia (see WP:BACKLOG), and very many articles need to be corrected for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and compliance with WP:MOS.  My available time is finite, and I frequently make decisions about giving one area of improvement priority over another area of improvement.  This discussion suggests to me that perhaps I should now give priority to WP:MOSR.  (Before I do that, I wish to finish checking the articles in WP:WPMATH/PP for compliance with MOS:HEAD and WP:ALSO and WP:ORDER and WP:HYPHEN, sub-subsection 3, point 4.  I have checked the first 330 articles of 500 listed.)—Wavelength (talk) 19:11, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. I wasn't aware of this page until I saw this nomination, but it looks like it might be useful. Perhaps a reminder should be placed somewhere on the MOS-related pages to log discussions on this list, to help improve its completeness going forward. Newyorkbrad (talk) 22:51, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: MOS conversations can perhaps be more concise if it is easy for people to find and refer to previous relevant conversations. Also, what Newyorkbrad said: f it does not already exist, we need a semi-automatic way of compiling this register so we can keep it up to date: perhaps a template to add to a conversation which can be actioned by a bot? --Mirokado (talk) 13:23, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
