  • WP:TRIVIA - This guideline needs clarification. It is being argued that trivia lists are acceptable when there is no other way to present the information AND that trivia sections should be removed because they add little to the article. Both of these outlooks are perfectly valid when the guidelines to "Avoid trivia sections" and that it would be "better presented" in the body while still maintaining "Don't simply remove it" and "seek to minimize it" which implies it need simply be smaller, not removed. Please help eliminate Weasel words from this guideline and firmly establish if trivia sections are acceptable or not. 19:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Template:Trivia - This template currently says, "Content in this section should be integrated into the body of the article or removed." The template should instead comport with WP:TRIVIA, which does not advocate the removal of content because it's in a trivia list. Several editors who appear to be in favor of removing trivia sections from Misplaced Pages entirely, notably User:Matthew, have repeatedly reverted my attempts at trying to make the template match the WP:TRIVIA guideline.

  • Proposal/idea... The idea of expanding from Featured and Good Article classes to A and B Article class's, with official Policy guidelines standardizing "Greading". 18:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • A propose for the adoption of the following new policy: Misplaced Pages:Responding to suicidal individuals. This proposal has been extensively discussed here, and that discussion is also reproduced and has been expanded on at the talk page for the proposed policy. In a nutshell the policy is “Misplaced Pages is not a counseling service. Respond to suicidal individuals by pointing them towards one of the listed crisis lines/websites. Do not ridicule or make personal attacks on suicidal editors.” Please edit or comment upon this proposed policy. Thank you. 22:29, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • User:Itayb/Randopedia - a suggestion for introducing randomization into Misplaced Pages to help deal with some problematic aspects, such as conflicts of interest and cabals (I know, there is no cabal. But just to be on the safe side...). Comments are most welcome. 15:59, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Reference Desk Talk Page There is a major dispute going on there. People are deleting things written by other users, there are edit wars, people are telling other people to leave Misplaced Pages and people are starting to leave Misplaced Pages. Some people are even going away to Wikiversity. Please, comment there! It's a dispute about what is the Reference Desk and how the Misplaced Pages pillars apply to the Reference Desk.
