This allows a community consensus to be formed through discussion and may affect more than just the article being discussed. | The '''Request for Comment''' forum allows Editors to introduce an issue that may have sprung up either in a high-traffic area (ex: [[BattleTechWiki:Project BattleMechs|Project:BattleMech]]) or somewhere more obscure (ex:[[2418]]), but may require a third, fourth or even twenty-third opinion.

Revision as of 14:12, 4 August 2009
The Request for Comment forum allows Editors to introduce an issue that may have sprung up either in a high-traffic area (ex: Project:BattleMech) or somewhere more obscure (ex:2418), but may require a third, fourth or even twenty-third opinion. This allows a community consensus to be formed through discussion and may affect more than just the article being discussed.
Useage: Under a dated section, introduce a new entry with an asterisk (*), right under the "Requests for Comments" section head (i.e., in reverse chronological order). Start it off with a link to the discussion page of the article in question, and a very brief summary of the issue being discussed. Remember to sign the entry (with four tildes: ~~~~). Please do not add an opinion to the summary here.
Acceptable Example:
- Policy Talk:Notability: discussion as to what shall be done with articles deemed non-notable. --Revanche (talk|contribs) 12:55, 19 December 2007 (CST)
Unacceptable Example:
- Policy Talk:Notability: Some spammer wants to create an article about himself, just because he wrote some fan-boy story about Peder Smythe. Let's 'explain' to him why that won't fly. --Revanche (talk|contribs) 12:55, 19 December 2007 (CST)
