Forum:CT Archive/Possible amendments to user page policy and WP:NOT

Forums &gt; Consensus track &gt; 

As seen here, there seems to be some contention over what is considered a violation of User page policy and WP:NOT, especially in relation to hot topics such as religion, politics and other thorny issues. This vote/discussion shall aim to clarify exactly how Wookieepedia shall deal with issues such as these on userpages.

=Userpages in general=

Option 1: If it's not Star Wars or Wookieepedia-related, it doesn't belong
This option would include prohibiting using your userpage for the following:


 * 1) "Extensive discussion not related to Star Wars/Wookieepedia"
 * 2) "Excessive personal information (more than a couple of pages) unrelated to Star Wars/Wookieepedia"
 * 3) "Extensive personal opinions on matters unrelated to Star Wars/Wookieepedia"
 * 4) "A weblog relating your non-Wookieepedia activities".
