Hi,

We (Fandom’s Community Support team) have been discussing some of the recent events on this wiki, and one of the causes for concern is the tendency to delete and obscure community discussions around local policies. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to consolidate community consensus discussions in forums or other convenient place, but the constant deletion of threads, when taken in the aggregate, can have a negative effect and discourage community members from speaking out and supporting positive change.

We have nothing but respect for the hard work Bureaucrats and Admins do above and beyond the day-to-day editing tasks, but part of those leadership roles needs to be hearing and working with the community. One of the core wiki philosophies is transparency. Discussions about these matters should be robust, open to the community, and preserved for future community members to look back on. Removing them constantly does a disservice. I am therefore restoring this thread, but closing it so that a record remains but any further discussion can happen in the forums.
