Hey! So you're the most active other user here, and you've come such a long way since you first started editing here, I was wondering if I could get your opinion on a very big topic I want to put out to the community? Every wiki needs a Manual of Style (MoS) and Policies- the MoS helps people know how things are meant to be laid out while the policies act like guidelines that people should be following on the wiki. Ours has gone on for a very long time without either, so I've been working on correcting this.

Here you can find a draft of the MoS I'm going to propose- this has been written out purely how we've already been doing things on the wiki, so it's nothing new, but it's finally getting into writing what so far only admins and senior editors knew, and had to teach other new editors. I'm hoping it will be a very useful tool for the wiki, particularly if something happens and we can't be around for events!

Here you can find a draft of the wiki's policies I want to propose- the majority are things again that the community already follows under the guidance of admins and senior editors, but that we've never really had in writing. We have rules but they are rather outdated and lacking, not to mention "rules" makes it sound like admins are in charge. There is one new addition I added into this which I will make clear when proposing, as it was under advice given to me by a more senior Wikia editor, that inactive admins have their rights removed while inactive as voted on by the community.

Any ideas, suggestions, critiques... anything you can think of, please let me know :)
