Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Wikipedia policies and guidelines
The following discussions are requested to have community-wide attention:
Back in 2009, the community first enacted a restriction on mass creation of articles. The resulting policy was placed in WP:Bot policy since the impetus was mass creation using automated tooling. Even then concern was raised over whether WP:BRFA was the right forum for this, but at the time "good enough" carried the day.
In the years since we've had various discussions where this has become an issue. Possibly the most prominent was Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Requests for comment/Article creation at scale/Closing statement#Question 17: Amend WP:MASSCREATE, where three of the seven "oppose" bullets hinge on WP:BOTPOL being the wrong place. Personally I'm tired of seeing WP:BOTPOL and WP:MEATBOT being bent out of shape in the arguments over what sorts of not-entirely-bot mass creations are or can be "covered" by WP:MASSCREATE. Thus I propose the question: Should WP:MASSCREATE be severed from WP:Bot policy? Should the answer be yes, the following changes to the text of the policy will be made. The intention is to keep the current meaning as far as possible while removing the bits specific to WP:BOTPOL: Should the answer be yes, I don't much care if the destination is a new standalone policy page, WP:Editing policy, or some other existing policy. In the interest of this not failing due to lack of consensus for where to put it, if there's not consensus for a specific destination then we'll default to "a new standalone policy page" at Wikipedia:Mass page creation and people can start a separate merge discussion later if they want. The bot policy will retain a stub referring to the new policy. The existing redirects such as WP:MASSCREATE will be retargeted. Poll (sever MASSCREATE from BOTPOL)
