The result of the debate was support proposal. Tommy-Macaroni 19:19, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
The Discussions moderators have been working on rewriting our existing forum rules, which are currently listed on a page called the Guidelines. These rules and other forum information are not listed on the Discussions wiki page, and we believe that should be corrected now that the wiki and forum have more proper connections (Project Defender is one such example).
Note that the rules have not actually been changed; they have instead been condensed and formatted to parallel wiki policies that are applicable to the forum. This rewrite could not have been possible on the Guidelines page, which only supports plaintext and fully spelled-out links.
I've completed the revision of the page on my workbench and have formatted it in a way that ties into other site policies, such as for Discord. Below is my full proposal, which I believe will serve to inform everyone more properly about the forum and its nature.
Replace the existing text on the Discussions wiki page with what is written on my workbench.
Add the {{Policy}} template to the rules section, and add the link to the Discussions wiki page on the {{Policies}} list under site policies.
We moderators would then replace the rules as they are written on the Guidelines page with a link to the Discussions wiki page. The Guidelines page would then be repurposed by us to list tips and link resource threads for the forum rather than official rules, thereby more properly adhering to the definition of guidelines. If this proposal passes, I will post a thread on Discussions for users to suggest content to be added to the new guidelines.

- Great work. IMO, codifying existing policy is always a good CT. :) — YakovChaimTzvi

- I've fixed the links to the Discussions page and my workbench, so they now point to the specific revision of the Discussions page I wanted to change and the revision of my workbench with the proposed changes, protecting the record of this proposal in its original context.
