Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Community sanction noticeboard (second nomination)

Further proposal for discussion
If matters for admin/experienced editor review and discussion are being more centralized at AN/ANI, then I see a useful way to divide them. There are those matters that are quick -- here today, decide in a few hours, move on... and those which merit more discussion or greater exposure. I'd propose maybe that should be the distinction between AN and ANI:


 * The majority of items are fairly quick matters. They need a few eyeballs, a rough agreement, some information and chat, and they're pretty quickly done. So use one page (ANI) for items that need little coverage - a few eyeballs, some information, some second opinions, discussion, etc...


 * Some items need more eyeballs over a long time period, compared to "here today gone in a few hours" cases. So keep the other page (AN) for matters that need wider exposure, or longer discussion - sanctions, announcements that merit broad awareness, alerts, etc.

Done this way, people would know that stuff on ANI is usually pretty ephemeral (but still seen by many)... if you miss it, so be it, its probably dealt with. Stuff on AN is slower moving, and is the stuff admins and experienced users need to keep track of, more likely.

Page mistakenly blanked
[] - sorry about that; Firefox crashed. When I clicked the icon on my desktop it gave me a restore session option, which I selected, and this got back to the comment I had been typing. The edit summary I had written was gone, that I noticed, but it didn't occur to me to make sure the rest of the page was still there! Thank you for restoring it, EconomicsGuy.

newbie-ish question
What level of effort would it take to implement something like jpgordon suggested? where the incidents are on individual type pages and transcluded into an area for visibility disucssion? --Rocksanddirt 20:36, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Not that much. We'd have a flurry of effort to set up some templates and write a bit of instruction in their use - but once done it would be no harder than an XfD nomination is.  GRBerry 21:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
