Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Wikipedia policies and guidelines

The following discussions are requested to have community-wide attention:

Should a special PROD category, similar to WP:BLPROD, be created for unreferenced tagged articles? Tooncool64 (talk) 06:33, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/When there is no consensus either way

When editors are unable to form a consensus either way about including or excluding a particular fact in a Wikipedia article, should they default to including or excluding that fact? (This question is not about living persons.) 02:40, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Did you know

Should we have guidelines regarding the use of quirky hooks on DYK, including how to define a quirky hook, what is acceptable and what is not acceptable in the case of hook wordings, and how they should be handled? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Content assessment

Should Hermann (name), Bellver and Zinc silicate be classified as disambiguation pages on Wikipedia? These randomly chosen examples are currently classified as "set index articles". More generally, what is the distinction between SIAs, dab pages and stand-alone list articles on Wikipedia, and is the concept of a set index article useful to the project? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:47, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)

Currently, WP:PGCHANGE says this: After some time, if there are no objections to the change and/or if a widespread consensus for your change or implementation is reached through discussion, you can then edit policy and guideline pages describing the practice to reflect the new situation.

Should WP:PGCHANGE include an explanation, or else clarify the meaning of "widespread consensus" to mean the following:

For the purpose of this policy, "widespread consensus for the change" means that the discussion about substantive changes to a policy or guideline must be advertised sitewide to the entire community (such as through a request for comment and/or by posting at centralized discussion) and, after being so advertised, would reach consensus for the change.

It need not be the exact wording, but this would be the intended meaning. The possibility to edit policies and guidelines if there are no objections to these changes will stay. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 13:27, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Large language model policy

Per a prior RfC at WP:LLM, should the following sentence be adopted as a policy/guideline (whether or not it is expanded later, or whether or not there are subsequent decisions with respect to the use of LLMs)?

Large language model output, if used on Wikipedia, must be manually checked for accuracy (including references it generates), and its use (including which model) must be disclosed by the editor; text added in violation of this policy may be summarily removed.

Option 1: Yes (specify "policy" or "guideline").
Option 2: No.

Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion

Which of these options is preferred for the status of CSD G5?

Option 1: Keep G5 as is.
Option 2: Add mention of general sanctions to G5.
Option 3: Add general sanctions violations to its own speedy criterion.
Option 4: Repeal G5 and incorporate its principles into the WP:BANPOL (specifically WP:BANREVERT) as "administrators are permitted, but are not required, to delete page creations made in violation of a ban, general sanction, or block".
Option 5: Repeal G5 and do nothing else.
Something else?

Wikipedia:Requests for coment/Names of deceased trans people

Should the following be added to MOS:DEADNAME?

For deceased transgender or non-binary persons, their former name (birth name, professional name, stage name, or pseudonym) should be included in their main biographical article only if the name is documented in multiple secondary and reliable sources containing non-trivial coverage of the person.

For pre-RFC discussions on this proposal, see:

This text was added boldly by different editors, originally in July and again in October, but was removed in December. 18:38, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
