That's off-topic; you would need to bring that up in a new thread (and not in inclusion debates).

And you misunderstand me and the policy. It's not "undefined", "extra", or "all of a sudden". It's a clarification of the simplified four rules. I'm not saying every user does this, but many think it's just a matter of checking off the four rules, and since they don't read the policy, they gloss over #4. They also tend not to read our definition of what a story is (#1).

Keep in mind that as an admin I always post what might seem like more information than necessary on these forums. The forums attract a lot of new users (for example, there are four different IP addresses in this thread), and most regular users assume familiarity with the wiki when they post; I just like to clarify for new users.
