You talk on the talk page, find areas that people agree on, and eventually make the "article". The way this is being done is a disaster. A mess. And Lumenos is linking to it as a "policy" page on user talk pages.

The above discussion is relevant to the content of the project page before Dilley "seconded" Bob suggestion of replacing the page with a sentence. It was very long and many prolific editors and administrators commented on it. Dilley has asked that I slow down, but I may be permitted to develop the page further. It can now be found at [[User:Lumenos/WikiIndex policies (and drama)]] ~~ [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 11:03, 14 September 2009 (EDT) | The above discussion is relevant to the content of the project page before Dilley "seconded" Bob suggestion of replacing the page with a sentence.

:Since I have been critical of article protections, I've been accused of "spamming" Recent Changes, by [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Talk:RationalWikiWiki&diff=prev&oldid=71491 Dilley] and then [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3AThis_is_not_the_solution&diff=71588&oldid=71587 Felix]. Ordinarily I would think Felix' rules are not in reference to what I was doing, but I'm not sure, given [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3AThis_is_not_the_solution&diff=71649&oldid=71591 this (enraged?) reply]. "Assume good faith." That would be nice. But my question is about the "irrelevant" content. Are you referring to talk pages, or only articles? It sounds sorta uum.... over the top, to say we are going to '''"mercilessly"''' remove something that is merely irrelevant. It is just weird after being accused of trolling and all these things. It is kinda intimidating. Maybe it is not meant to be.

We should probably have some criteria for a wiki to be included in a category. I propose it be that the wiki has at least so many characters devoted to the category subject, since this is relatively easy to measure by copying text into a text editor (if anyone cares to check). Only problem is it may be difficult to find the pages on these subjects.
