BLP ethnicity gender Remember a couple of years back when I tried a common subpage for both policy and guidelines And you objected so we split them back up Well as I predicted they ve diverged over time And now the wiki lawyers are arguing that policy trumps guidelines Since the BLP policy doesn t specifically mention Ethnicity and Gender while at least a half dozen guidelines do it s been disrupting WP CFD and WP EGRS and quite a bit else Could you take a look at the main above and see whether you support adding Ethnicity and Gender into the policy And do you know of anywhere that the Policy and Guidelines has language about precedence I suppose that this boils down to prescriptivism versus descriptivism yet another matter we have discussed We need both because the wiki lawyers look for loopholes
