This is an ongoing project for the benefit of staff and the wiki as a whole. There are a lot of proposals that lead to wiki-wide rulings that haven't been properly written down as policy pages. This page aims to list every single policy-related proposal that we MIGHT have not implemented. The procedure will be:

STEP 1: Copying every proposal per year, trimming all the non-passed ones, then removing all the unrelated ones. YOU ARE HERE.
STEP 2: Comb through our existing policy pages and trim all the ones that are already written down.
STEP 3: Actually writing down new rules and policy based on the remaining proposals.
