I see rules as a means to strengthen communities and to help achieve the community's priorities. The rules being considered here seem to be motivated by one particular vision of the ideal wiki, rather than by a good deal of what the contributors want from the community. If these were offered as suggestions rather than as rules, they could be quite helpful; I, for one, got a large amount of use out of Smash's writing guide when I first joined the wiki. Taken as rules, however, I think that these would be more likely to harm than to help the community, in this case by adding bureaucracy and by taking away time and attention from what the aforementioned contributors would consider more social and constructive pursuits. As such, I disagree with this proposal.
