:I see WikiIndex as having, and for a long time, a narrow purpose, with most users believing they understood it, and working on it here and there. It was mostly a low-conflict wiki, because of that narrowness of purpose. It was, I think, *effectively clear,* the policy. Except, of course, it wasn't formal, documented, and, when problems arose, it was largely unenforced. Wikis die if they don't clear this passage.

::I'm not sure this is the first time these sorts of issues have arisen here. I don't think anyone has written a very thorough history of WikiIndex; there's no WikiIndexWiki to document the conflicts, and a lot of conflicts are settled in places other than the community portal. I can see, though, that requests for explicit rules have been pending since [[User_talk:MarkDilley/Archive5#Please_help_develop_explicit_rules|at least 2009]].

The question about the point of view of the wiki [[Archive4#Conserva.C3.A8dia|goes back to 2008]]. Really, RationalWiki was a pretty big test case here, and we see how that ended up.
