Forum:CT Archive/GAN rule amendments

As Wookieepedia's AgriCorps continues to grow, the status and quality of the site's Good articles continues to improve. The GAN page is currently witnessing an influx of new, talented writers and reviewers the likes of which the site hasn't seen in some time, if ever. As Wookieepedia's Good articles continue to cement a good name for themselves, far gone from the day one user quite accurately declared the GAN page to be a "used car dealership," the quality of the site likewise improves.

In the name of continued growth and quality, I propose two minor amendments to the current GAN rules. The first concerns the inclusion of "Behind the scenes" sections to articles. Currently, it is the GAN rule that all Good article nominations are to adhere to Wookieepedia's Manual of style, which includes a BTS section as a required section within an article. This proposed rule will simply serve to reinforce that which is already required and, indeed, practiced: a GAN must "...include a "Behind the scenes" section." Secondly, this CT proposes to set a limit for the maximum number of redlinks found within a Good article. Currently, rule 8 specifies that a Good article must "not be tagged due to an excessive number of redlinks." However, an "excessive number" is open to interpretation and has, on more than one occasion, become the subject of debate. Neither the rule nor the redlink template specifies what an "excessive number" is. Therefore, I propose amending the rule to read, similar to the current FAN ruling: "have no more than 3 redlinks for articles less than 1,000 words and no more than 5 redlinks for articles more than 1,000 words, and none in the introduction, infobox, or any templates."

For ease of voting, these two topics will be organized into two separate votes below. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:02, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
