This table captures all active Bulbapedia policies, their last updated date, and whether they are being evaluated for updates or changes. I will be taking point on policy refreshes in my userspace, but any editors are welcome to propose changes or suggestions on the appropriate Talk Pages - you don't have to be an admin!
These policy changes are designed to:
- Streamline language and policy to be more clear throughout
- Reduce the weight of historical memory in favor of clear, bright-line rules (e.g. eliminate "this change was made because in 2006 a vandal..." should be removed and replaced with "do not advertise on your user page")
- Eliminate redundancy and/or obsolete rules
Going forward, I would recommend all policies are reviewed every four years, or more frequently if needed.
