The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was keep. There Tony1 only says, that he has nothing against the deletion of the page, but not that he doesn't want it. Therefore the move of the page in Wikipedia namespace should be discussed with him first. Armbrust The Homunculus 10:16, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]


I have no problem if people want to keep it—either here or moved elsewhere. I just noticed it a little while ago and thought it was just housecleaning. Tony (talk) 20:56, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not updated since 2008. A search on WP:Updates brings you here. The author agrees with deletion Noyster (talk) 02:02, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Multi-authored resource page on Project history. Wikipedia has a daunting array of styleguides and policy pages. They come under very little central coordination and are subject to change without wide notice. This makes it hard for users to keep track of changes to rules and policies they need to be aware of, and to attain a sense of how the project is evolving. This was true then and is true today. It is particularly true for styleguides. If inaccurate it could be blanked. What it needs instead is a header asking visitors to "please update". Or is there a better page to redirect to? If Tony1 doesn't want it, move to ProjectSpace. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:18, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and move to ProjectSpace if Tony1 does not want it. I agree with SmokeyJoe (talk · contribs)'s comments.

    The page states:

    Wikipedia has a daunting array of styleguides and policy pages. They come under very little central coordination and are subject to change without wide notice. This makes it hard for users to keep track of changes to rules and policies they need to be aware of, and to attain a sense of how the project is evolving.

    This page displays the important changes in a central location, month by month; it enables all Wikipedians to keep abreast of what is happening, quickly and conveniently.

    Contributors to styleguide and policy pages are asked to notify us of changes for each upcoming monthly summary by posting a brief note of substantive changes (with a diff) on the talk page.

    Summary updates are posted here and at the talk pages of MOS, (main page), FAC and FAR shortly after the start of each calendar month. Copy-editing and relatively trivial changes are generally not included in these summaries.

    The page contains a selected history of updates between January–July 2008 to style guides such as Wikipedia:Manual of Style.
