Village pump proposals — persistent proposals post

In a nutshell: If you are concerned that a proposal at Village pump (proposals) is in danger of being (or has already been) automatically archived, despite having demonstrated consensus, simply move it here. This page is not automatically archived. Discussions can continue on this page. This is not an archive.

Rationale: The purpose of this page is to provide safe haven to proposals that show consensus, but that would otherwise become (or stay) automatically archived due to inactivity before they can be implemented. It is an effort to ensure that potentially valuable proposals are not forgotten simply because there is currently no time to implement them. Developer intervention is required in order to implement most proposals, so this page is especially necessary while the developers are particularly busy with long-term projects (ie. the Wikimedia Foundation's unified login system).

This page is not an archive, so feel free to contribute to any of the discussions you see below.

Move a proposal to this page only if it meets all of the following criteria:

The proposal discussion has not had any replies in at least 5 days.
The proposal has already been described and discussed at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals).
The proposal seems to have gained community consensus.

Note: This is not the place to post new proposals that have not been discussed at all yet. Post new proposals at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals). Also, do not confuse this with perennial proposals, which are "persistent" in that they are frequently made, but have all been rejected. Proposals here, conversely, show some degree of consensus.

How to move a proposal here:

Proposals can be moved from either the main proposal page or from one of its archives.

If a proposal meets the stated criteria, copy its entire discussion and paste it at the end of this page.
Remove the discussion from its original location, but leave its section header (== ==).
In place of the discussion, post a notice of the move. Be sure to include a link to this page, as well as your signature. For example: ''Moved to [[WP:VPR/Persistent proposals]].'' ~~~~ This is to ensure that redundant discussions don't exist or continue in multiple locations.

Please sign and date your post (by typing ~~~~ or clicking the signature icon: in the edit toolbar). Please add new topics to the bottom of this page.
