:Yes, I would say that was the original intent. It doesn't mean we can't change it. My revert doesn't even mean that I like it as is. But I believe that the questions and signatures were left in because this wiki chooses to have a style more similar to the original wiki, where it is OK to have commentary, even on talk pages and FAQs. Also, removing my name and timestamp from my answers to questions makes them look set in stone as "official" policy when that is not the case. So, I reverted your change. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] ([[User talk:MarvelZuvembie|talk]]) 18:38, 12 March 2014 (UTC) | :Yes, I would say that was the original intent.

::Just because they're on the page without attribution doesn't mean they're set in stone, although it does make it seem as though they're official pronouncements of the community. They're only official until someone removes them, though (and starts the [[BRD cycle]]). If they're left there with attribution, then ironically they're even harder to remove from the page because that would be tampering with someone's signed comment. (Which is what I did, but only because we already have this talk page for those types of discussions; so why do we need a talk page for a talk page. On the other hand, Wikipedia sometimes has debates, e.g. deletion debates, on Project namespace pages, and then a Project talk page.) | |||
::Through some recent boundary-testing, it looks like we'll start to see more clarity on where the community stands with respect to some issues that have been left hazy. [[User:Leucosticte|Leucosticte]] ([[User talk:Leucosticte|talk]]) 20:14, 12 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
