[[:Help:Introduction to policies and guidelines/1]] → {{no redirect|Help:Introduction to policies and guidelines}} – I see no reason to have a /1 for the first page rather than just placing it on the basepage. The /1 page should of course be redirected. --[[User:Trialpears|Trialpears]] ([[User talk:Trialpears|talk]]) 12:04, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

*'''Oppose'''. There are technical aspects that would require us to increase complexity considerably if we did this (which I can go into if you're curious). But more to the point, we want to encourage readers to go through all the pages, not just the first one, and putting /1 in the title helps establish from the start that there's more to read beyond this. Also, if this page was just at the proposed title, all the pages after it would be considered subpages of it, which wouldn't be correct taxonomy. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> ^{[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]} 15:27, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

*'''Oppose''' - it does seem that the /1 makes the progression of help pages a bit more obvious, as well as what Sdkb noted above as far as incorrect taxonomy. Was going to re-list this but I'll hold off as it seems fairly straightforward.[[User_talk:Asukite|<span style="color:Purple;font-size:medium;font-family:Bradley Hand ITC"> ASUKITE</span>]] 16:12, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
