 ::Scrooge performed the merger in April 2021 when the forums were down, but merged [[Joan Redfern]] at the same time.  See Nate's comment on [[Talk:Joan Redfern]], I guess?

+See paragraph 5 of [[T:BOUND]].
+:''Contrariwise'', this sometimes applies to things which have ''not'' actually been written anywhere (yet). Ideally, [[Tardis:Who writes policy|all past decisions and current practice ''should'' be written into explicit policy]], but nobody's perfect. It makes sense to have a policy that says "even if the current setup isn't codified by a specific policy, you shouldn't, on a whim, try and implement a change that would have ramifications on thousands of pages without starting a discussion". So, in the above policy, '''the word "policy" doesn't just apply to those decisions that have been officially enshrined through discussion, but also refers to operating procedures that apply to multiple pages over large periods of time with the express knowledge of admins''', even if these procedures technically contradict the results of a previous forum decision. Try not to make large scale changes to the wiki without opening a discussion about these changes first.
