I foresaw those kind of problems when I realized this wiki was going to grow exponentially as it went from covering a few films released every half a year (more or less), to a wiki covering one the highest grossing film series in history, with a grand total of SEVEN TV series (when most wikis cover just one TV series and maybe their eventual spin-offs).

I investigated other wikis, and realized that many of them had detailed policies to cover general contingencies, so I proposed the then-admins (Uskok and New Captain), that we should have those kind of policies as well, to use them as a general guideline on how to proceed instead of wasting time analyzing each case one by one.

That happened in Februrary, more tan half a year ago, and Uskok, who was the only one who answered then, proposed me in this thread to write some of the policies myself. I wrote two, based on similar ones I found in other wikis, and adapting them to the different consensus that were previously reached.

I wrote one about how to properly name an article, and another about how to organize the different sections of an article, which, by the way, covered what categories an article should have according to the categories that existed then. Of course, I also asked the admins to review them to fix what was needed and to make them "official", something that, if I'm not mistaken, and according what he answered, Uskok did.

But then, another user was made admin, and started disregarding those policies, as they didn't please him...

Now, we've been wasting time to decide if two categories inconsistent with the rest of categories (not by the topic, as it has nothing to do with religión, because the reason would have been the same if they were about hobbies, food allergies, or shoe size) need to be deleted or not.

In summary, what we really need is clear policies, not to force everyone to memorize them before becoming an editor, but to have them as an "instruction manual", to be consulted if a doubt, such as this one, arises again.
