Concise Wikipedia; section headings for navboxes

Discussion report

Contribute —

Concise Wikipedia: A concise version of Wikipedia has been proposed, where articles would be up to 500 words in length and contain only the important facts. This was suggested to help the readability of Wikipedia.
Contributions to Edits: A change of wording from "contributions" to "edits" has been suggested, on the basis that this would better reflect what is listed at the Special:Contributions page.
Today's article for improvement to the main page: It has been proposed that a new section be added to the main page to promote editor recruitment.

Fringe theories: The content guideline of fringe theories is under discussion in regards to how broadly or narrowly it should be applied. Fringe theory is described as an idea that is different from the mainstream view.
Adopting the feedback response guideline: A draft guideline for responding to submissions made with the Article Feedback Tool is currently under discussion to be formally adopted.
Section headings for navboxes: The sentence, "Navigation templates located at the bottom of articles may be given a section heading such as "Related information", although the use of such headings has not yet been widely adopted," is under review. Should navboxes in articles have their own section headings?
Actual article count: Concerns regarding the actual article count displayed on the main page were brought up. Should the number include disambiguation pages?
Image policy and guidelines: An update to the image guidelines is under review. The image upload policy and image use guideline would be updated to reflect changes.
Hyphens and en dashes: A discussion has been opened regarding the stoppage of debates regarding en dashes, hyphens, and any other small horizontal lines for one year.
Non-notable album mergings: The policy that "Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting" is under review. Redirection is used more often than merging.

It's em-dashes not en dashes. Mari Adkins 16:55, 20 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MariAdkins (talk • contribs)
- Actually, "en dashes, hyphens, and any other small horizontal lines" (which includes em dashes) is a direct quote from the proposal. Art LaPella (talk) 21:09, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
