:::'''Policy''' There are two pages that were created on [[Vanity wiki]]s and [[WikiIndex:Vanity wiki]]s. Why? A glossary entry would be reasonable if I had ever seen this term anywhere other than here in a recent discussion and a policy page would be useful if there was some agreed policy. Nathan can just make userspace drafts and some of his recent creations have been moved to his userspace for this purpose.

::::There are two separate issues, which L. conflated. There is the term "vanity wiki," which he did not invent. That's a glossary entry. Then there is the issue of a WikiIndex policy, and L. was claiming that the defacto policy was that such pages were to be deleted. I don't think so, but that's not the point here. If the content of the two pages was the same, then there was certainly no harm in deleting one. There is no requirement, to my understanding, that policy pages be drafted in user space. The difference is this: in user space, the user will be allowed defacto admin privileges, and may accept other edits or not, whereas in WikiIndex space, anyone may edit it (the same as in mainspace), there isn't such a special author privilege. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 01:24, 9 January 2015 (UTC) | ::::There are two separate issues, which L. conflated.

::::'''Policy''' It's not required but as you know, Nathan is making proposed policy pages and marking things for deletion to prove a point. It's just disruptive and isn't making this a better site or one that's more useful for navigating the wikisphere. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 01:33, 9 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
