I think we should make it a rule that the encyclopedia deal with nouns only. This allows us to make a clear distinction between what is encyclopedia material and what is just a word which should be relegated to Wiktionary. In many cases, this would just envolve renaming articles such as "arbirary' to "arbitrariness". But I think we should make a clear rule that there cannot exist (for example) both the page 'arbitrary' and the page "arbitrariness". Do you guys agree?

To add a discussion to RFC:

Add {{RFCpolicy| section=section name !! reason=a short summary of the discussion !! time= ~~~~~ }} to the talk page section where the discussion will be held.
Mind the exclamation marks! Do not use pipe symbols to separate the parameters.
Warning: ! and = will not work, as they are used to separate parameters. {{ and }} might work outside of the time parameter. The vertical pipe (|) works again.
