Wiktionary:Policy initiative

Policies
Wiktionary, as it stands, lacks any official policies. This is problematic for many reasons, it makes the jobs of the sysops more difficult, makes it more difficult for editors to know what is and isn't acceptable, and leads to a very large ammount of uncertainty and lately, argument. This initiative's purpose is to clarify our policies, record them in written form, then promote them to official policy status. The goal is simple, with a clearer set of guidelines, there will be less guesswork and more consistancy in decision making by the sysops, as well as clear and definite rules to point editors at.
