:It's been great watching the discussion here so far; thanks everyone for the thoughts. Just to answer something [[User:Jack "BtR" Saxon|Jack "BtR" Saxon]] said, the "present tense in first sentence" would specifically not apply to non-generic nouns like [[Earth]] or [[Traken]]. That's what I was fumbling at with the "present in dictionaries in the real world" condition. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 01:08, 7 April 2023 (UTC) | :It's been great watching the discussion here so far; thanks everyone for the thoughts.

::I, quite frankly, don't see the point. I think our current policy is perfectly sensible. With respect to ledes, however, I '''strongly reject''' the idea that they should be written from an OOU perspective. A small box like the one Nate suggests might be a workable compromise if people think this is a good idea, with 2-3 sentences. But I'm very much against anything past that.
