This is the overview. Basically, a ''summary'' of what the idea is about. You can get into the details later on.


This is a proposal for an official policy regarding who does or does not officially represent the wiki.
=== {{{1|Insert Title Here}}} ===


=== Official Representation ===
The details of your proposal will go here. Be as detailed as you'd like or believe necessary. It is recommended that you find that balance between ''downloading'' information and merely ''telling'' what your idea is.


In the past, there are people who believe that contributors to the Wiki -- high profile contributors, for example -- officially represent the Wiki itself. While contributors are an integral part of the Wiki, this is not the case. Therefore, this is a proposed policy to codify that no one person may speak for the Wiki, unless:
The proposal should strive to answer some of the common questions, such as:


# a group of people agree to an action;
# What is the benefit of this proposal to the wiki?
# and the person chosen to represent the Wiki is agreed-upon by consensus, which is 85% of all people who participate in the discussion.
# What is involved in implementing this idea?
# Who is going to do it?
# Why should we do it at all?
# How will we use the idea?
# Should the proposal pass, when will work start on this idea?
# Where will this idea be implemented? (e.g. Will it be on certain types of pages or the entire Wiki in general?)


The person chosen to represent the wiki should be someone who is honest, has integrity, resepectful, and is viewed by his or her peers as a model contributor to the Wiki. Representatives should be versed in the current atmosphere of the Wiki, as well as versed in how the Wiki operates.
Do note that the answers to the above questions should be in paragraph form, particularly for proposals of a larger scale.


Also, once a representative is chosen, the representative may not deviate from that which has been agreed upon, for whatever reason.

It is to be noted that Joe Beaudoin reserves the right to officially represent the wiki, but will only use such power under extreme circumstances.
