What rule change are you referring to? Here are the recent rule changes: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=guide:rules&rev=1448412475&do=diffActually we had our Skype conference before the rule change.
They are basically treated like any other article on the wiki, which is that they're for the community, and the FM has control over them in they're part of a faction. WIP articles are supposed to be WIP only for the short period (should be less than 3 months) before they become canon. The wiki is not really intended to be a long-term storage for non-canon ideas and concepts, because those types of pages tend to clog up the search results when people are searching for (canon) stuff. If I had a good way of using a single sign-on for the forums and wiki, I'd probably have a second wiki just for development while the main wiki would be clear of WIP stuff. Currently there's no distinction between "sandbox" pages and other pages and sandbox pages are seen as problems because they're not in the "proper" namespace (only certain namespaces are actually allowed on the wiki).what is our current policy towards articles labeled "Work in Progress"?
Failing to respect content producers is only going to choke improvements to the setting, which is in turn going to cause the setting to stagnate.
The wiki doesn't have a customization option to set what namespaces show up in a search. But if we set the namespace to be viewable only to registered users, they wouldn't show up in the search results for guests...that's the best I think I can do on that front.Will WIPs still come up during searches?
