I searched for some policy pages and found [[Editing etiquette]]. A block policy doesn't exist (aside from "[[Spam_Control_Policy|spam]]") and is being discussed on [[WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy]]. This seemed to be a source of confusion and conflict so I made this article to sort through a number of these specific issues.

== | == Enforcement policies == | ||
When naming policies it helps to specify what type of "enforcement" is appropriate for the "violation". Here are some suggested names for levels: | |||
# '''Etiquette:''' Guide to help polite people to be polite. Does not imply any enforcement. | |||
# '''Tag:''' Placing "warning tags" on info that is dubious, impolite, etc. What categories of info warrents this? | |||
# '''Eventual deletion:''' What categories of info should be deleted eventually, if the warning tags are ignored? | |||
# '''Speedy deletion''' | |||
# '''Oversite:''' A term that means the information will be completely vaporized! Well almost. | |||
# '''Block editor:''' See [[WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy]]. | |||
I suggest we discuss block policy [[WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy|there]], and that it is good that we '''clearly separate the [[Editing etiquette|etiquette policy]] from the [[WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy|enforcement policy]]''', because "enforcing politeness" isn't always polite nor is is always practical at archiving its ends.
