Based on the discussion above about unresolved policy discussions, I did a bit more digging and found [[The Sims Wiki:Policy/Proposed Policy]]. I zoned in on one policy proposal in particular; that proposal was to create a formal policy regarding rumored games. I think [[User:Corymach7|our recent dealings with certain events/users]] proves that having an established policy on this matter would be helpful, and as a policy was already written up, I've taken the initiative and have moved it to [[The Sims Wiki:Rumored games]], where it awaits community consensus. That's what I'm looking to get here (obviously). Since I proposed the policy initially, I'd be happy to answer any questions or resolve any concerns about it. Please don't hesitate to weigh in. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]</sup>''' 06:59, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
:So it's taken 2 weeks for someone to actually reply. Anyway, rumors have clearly been an issue in the past and it would be highly beneficial to get something concrete about them. With that, I'm in full support of that policy being implemented. {{GGsig}} 19:36, October 4, 2012 (UTC)
==User Contests Week==
As you may have read in [[User blog:LostInRiverview/October '12 Community Events|this community events blog]], I'm planning a User-created Contests Week on the wiki; specifically from October 13-19. My reasoning for this was as follows: The Contests feature of our wiki is all but dead, and has been for some time. Bringing some attention to it might encourage users to create their own, which might spur wiki visitors to participate and help build community. Additionally, I was looking for a community event idea and to my knowledge this hadn't been done before.
In any case, the reason I bring this up is because I want to make a temporary change to the main page. Currently we have a featured content 'section', just below the main page sliding image. Featured Article and Featured media are permanent fixtures, and the third spot alternates between Featured Fanon, Featured Fan Fiction, and Featured Tutorial. For the week of October 13-19, I'd like to take the Featured Fanon, Fan Fiction and Tutorials off the main page, and replace it with a "revolving" list of active community contests. I think this would encourage users to create new contests, while also showing off contests to users who might want to participate in them. I want to stress that this would be temporary, and that in the meantime those featured contents that are removed from the main page would still be accessible through the fanon and tutorial portals.
If the promotional week turns out to be successful, we might be able to consider reviving Featured Contests, but I don't want us to get ahead of ourselves.
What does everyone think of that change? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]</sup>''' 06:56, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
