Academic Kids talk:How to create policy

Much more needed is information on how policy is created. IE, how are votes taken or even started, what is consensus?, how long must the wording of a policy stand to be considered uncontested, and how long must a conflict be dead before policy is considered consensus?

- I didn't want to be too prescriptive about those sorts of things :) But yeah, we need to think about that. Pcb21| Pete 00:48, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I bet the page Wikipedia:Consensus (started by Hyacinth I belive) will cover the "what is consensus" aspect, once everyone comes to a consensus (; So that part of policy making shoudl be left as a separate discussion. Although I agree with Pete that policy on policies should remain as open and non-prescriptive as possible, because policies can cover such variety things, ranging from deletion of pages to how to document a type of knot. —siroχo 04:51, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)
Is this a current policy?
Is this a draft policy, or is this in place? I found it in a link from Wikipedia: Policy thinktank, but it doesn't have the header notice that says it isn't current policy. I'm afraid I'm kind of new here.

- I think it should be policy. Let's move it from the thinktank to official. There are definitely people who could do with considering this principles before coming up with reams of policy minutae. Pcb21| Pete 19:42, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Done. Dan100 19:24, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)
How about some practical details?
This page should include a how-to for the thinktank and describe how proposed policy becomes current policy. Zocky 08:13, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
OK, I added a how-to section and some basic steps. The section is very rough, but I'm sure some experienced Wikipedian will come along and improve it. - Pioneer-12 13:14, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
