Category talk:Feature Requests

Proposal: No User Pages in Feature Request Category

The feature pages that signpost moved into people's user namespace (without asking anyone) are crudding up the category now. I propose that if a feature request is not well thought out enough to be in the main namespace, it shouldn't be in the category either. There's no point to link to articles we shouldn't edit in the User namespaces.

Implementation of this proposal would require going through the feature request category, moving well developed ideas to their own article outside the user namespace, and removing the category tag from the rest of them. Gigs Taggart 14:17, 21 February 2007 (PST)

What about under-developed ideas.....

You going to wipe out all trace of them or leave them in the user-space ?

Also, by preventing Residents from working on feature proposals in their user-space, you either force them to put half-baked articles into the main namespace, or stop them from letting other Residents know what they're working on.

They can do whatever they want in their own user space, the category just shouldn't be crudded up with it. Gigs Taggart 20:06, 21 February 2007 (PST)

So.... what's the threshold for what constitutes a half-baked idea to a one that warrants existance in the main namespace ?

The same standard that applies to any other article. Stop being dense. Gigs Taggart 20:51, 21 February 2007 (PST)

1. They can do whatever they want in their own user space
2. The same standard that applies to any other article.

Sounds like this proposal is rather redundant.
