:*To answer Edison's question, ''"what is so bad about a formal and genteel way of changing policy"'': for a variety of reasons, Wikipedia ''at present'' does not have formal policy or a formal way of creating or changing policies. What these reasons are and whether people like them is academic.

:*There is nothing ''a priori'' wrong with having a formal policy and a formal way of making it, '''but''' despite several requests to do so, the people who believe this is a good idea have never made a solid proposal for this, and have basically contributed nothing to this approach but wishful thinking. '''If you want formal policy (including formal mechanisms to propose/revoke/amend policy), write down a proposal for it and pose it to the community'''. Because regardless of whether you want formal policy, this page as written isn't one.
