I understand your frustration So some comments the shortcuts thing you propose would break down as soon as a demotion or promotion happened It would imply that being a policy had something to do with having a certain type of shortcut It would clutter the shortcuts I m also confused by the G P thing are you saying we should have guideline sections within policies You might want to check out WP Nutshell something I started when I was just getting into this for a more legal codification Note that there have been efforts before to merge or clean up or take care of policies or long discussions on what to do with them I have not seen one so far that has succeeded I firmly believe that specific tactics should not be discussed General strategy reduce size wordcount statement count number etc of policies is fine We should do it like this is less interesting unless you re actually doing it The best thing to do is to go find a policy WP Naming conventions would be a good one and start cleaning it up Post the diffs of the changes that have gone through on that page and sign your name just to keep it separate since I use it to keep track of what I personally have done
