Forum:CT Archive/GAN redlink count

Currently, our redlink rule for good articles reads However, 3 redlinks for an article under 1,000 words is quite a lot, and distracts from the quality of the article. Although much of the good articles that are passed do not have 3 redlinks, it would be beneficial to change our redlink guideline to prevent future nominations for passing if they had 3 redlinks. Thus, I propose to change the redlink rule to either Vote 1 will deal with changing the redlinks allowed, while Vote 2 will decide if that number should be 1 or 0. If Vote 1 does not pass, then the outcome of Vote 2 will not matter. 501st dogma ( talk ) 19:27, December 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * "have no more than 1 redlink for articles less than 500 words, no more than 3 redlinks for articles 500 words or more, and no redlinks in the introduction, infobox, or any templates."
 * "have no more than 1 redlink, and no redlinks in the introduction, infobox, or any templates." or "have no redlinks."

Vote 1: Changing GAN redlinks allowed
This vote decides whether 3 redlinks is too much, and should be lowered.

Support

 * 1) As nominator. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 19:27, December 17, 2014 (UTC)

Vote 2: Updated redlink limit
This vote will decide whether 0 or 1 redlinks should be the new limit imposed.

Support 1 redlink

 * 1) Allowing GANs a single redlink doesn't take away from the article, and the 1 redlink limit serves to differentiate GANs from CANs in a way. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 19:27, December 17, 2014 (UTC)
