			::Major changes which ''affect the larger wiki whole'' are discouraged. Templates such as what you create can do that, which is why Peter and I have jumped a bit when that happens. Changing one article, whether it be a simple one or a complex one such as this policy page, can be handled in many ways, and nothing I've done affects the necessary process of consensus.

			::Since THIS particular article has not been altered to fit Battlestar Wiki, I (as an administrator, a person whose task is to KNOW policy and convention, even if it's not officially noted on an official policy page) have taken the liberty of making the initial changes to fit this policy to the Wiki, since the original article, as you noted, had little germaneness to our wiki. With the changes I've made, it's up to the group to accept the changes, modifying the article as needed, or continue to revisit your desire to delete the article. All options remain open, but this particular policy page was in such bad shape that simply rewriting it as part of its process of saving it (or reviewing its usefulness) is more efficient than putting the work on the talk page.
