Forum:CT:Editing policy revamp

Savage and I were going through policies today and realized two things: 1. Star Wars Fanon:Editing policy is outdated (it contains references to the GFDL license, which hasn't been used in years) and 2. Star Wars Fanon:Copyrights isn't necessary and can just as easily be part of the Editing Policy. So, we'd like to propose a revamp of the Editing Policy, which can be found 'here. '

This does a few key things: Let us know what you all think about this in the discussion section. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk)  18:34, September 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) It merges Star Wars Fanon:Copyrights into this page. Individual wikias do not need a copyright statement. For one, the text-based part is on Wikia Licensing, and all we need to deal with is the use of fanon/fan fic by other authors here. Secondly, copyright complaints over images need to go to Wikia. The Community Support team handles those under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and local wikias are not asked to police that. Let it go through the proper legal channel.
 * 2) It streamlines the policy. In the current policy, there's a list of edits you are allowed to make and a list you're not. The latter is not necessary when you have the former, so I kept only the list of edits you ARE allowed to make without permission.
 * 3) The "Fanon Stealing" section has been signficantly toned down. What we currently have is very much instruction creep and groupthink, whereas an admin is capable of handling these situations without a prolonged consensus process. I did keep the bit about the Free-use template, though.
 * 4) "Dealing with edits" is MAJOR instruction creep. That's been toned down to a sentence or two. That section also contains incorrect/out of date information ("GFDL licenses," "Wikia servers are located in Florida").
 * 5) The "Consequences" section was removed. That kind of section in policies is something we should move away from, and instead have set standards in a revamped blocking policy.
