Battlestar Wiki talk:Think Tank/Wikipedia Policies

There is an issue that User:Scotchfairy brought to our attention at Battlestar Wiki talk:Welcome, newcomers. Basically, what Lee said was that someone shouldn't have to jump to another place (well, Wikipedia) and find out information on how to use the wiki, which is potentially confusing to new users who've never used wiki software before. So, instead of linking to Wikipedia for policies we use, we should just probably import them here. Thoughts? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 20:21, 12 September 2006 (CDT)

I agree linking off-site is bad, but really need to get BW:POL comfirmed at the same time then so it can all be in confirmed. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 20:36, 12 September 2006 (CDT)

Do you mind if I change the writing on the page to read that the list of policies will be imported upon confirmation of this proposal, instead of merely linking to them outside of BW? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 21:01, 12 September 2006 (CDT)

Yeah. Go for it. Open editing season always ;-) Maybe we should list all the polices that are in proposed status as well. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 21:14, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
