 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
Some stuff on Wikipedia is just plain obsolete, there are old, out of date templates, redundant features, and policies that are never followed despite still existing.
What should be done with all of that? Simple, delete it all. Old templates? Delete them. Redundant features? Remove them. Old, out-of-date policies that nobody bothers following? Mark them as historical.
Delete the junk, it'll help prevent Wikilawyering and will make Wikipedia in general more efficient.
