Hi, a quickie. Proposing briefly nice-ifying the Forum:Senate Hall/header. Past changes to the header have required a CT due to being contested so it's just easier to run it through.

But basically,

  • Discussions is part of Wookieepedia, so it's better to rephrase "The wiki is not..." to that article talk pages/SH isn't a general any-topic board, but that folk're welcome over on Discussions. It did mention Discussions prior, but in more of an afterthought way, so have rephrased.
  • Off-topic posts aren't always deleted, sometimes they're archived, so have reworded that in. Of course, we do get some NSFW or advertising spam on the SH sometimes so we're obviously still going to delete that, but it should specify both deletion and archival both.
  • While the Senate Hall isn't the first resort for minor issues, it very much is a great escalation point for major issues. Often, a discussion will start on a talk page and migrate to the Senate Hall in a healthy way. In the past, we've seen users vehemently refuse to touch the Senate Hall for a discussion on the grounds that "it only affects one page" and then summarily try to claim consensus has been met via a very sheltered, out-of-the-way talk page discussion that most editors will never see. But I'd gander to say that's not really how it is in practice, so I feel strongly that rewording it would spell out how we already do it 90% of the time.
