 ::'''Please outline the reasons you support this proposal below.'''
+:::Way back when in the Aughties, I helped write [https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Help:Ignore_all_standards this policy page] for the Transformers wiki called '''Ignore All Standards''' which boiled down to <tt>"In situations where the standards intended to prevent confusion would instead contribute to it, common sense should rule."</tt>
+:::That was for one-off weird cases.  But this is a collection of one-off weird cases, ''several'' of which seem to fall under the same broad circumstances.  At that point, if we are seriously looking at creating exceptions (and since several of these idems are currenly half-covered by the wikiand then either not-covered or half-invalid, we clearly are making weird exception judgements) we should probably examine the category ''as a whole'' and make some sort of policy judgement; even if that policy is, itself, a policy about exceptions to policy.
+:::I'm honestly not sure if I agree with ''all'' of the candidates for inclusion but some of them are well past-due.  And their inclusion should take place under a coherent framework rather than in a willy-nilly fashion. -[[User:Deriksmith|Deriksmith]] [[User talk:Deriksmith|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:33, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
