Policies and guidelines can be edited like any other Wikipedia page. It is not strictly necessary to discuss changes or to obtain written documentation of a consensus in advance.
Changes may be made if there are no objections or if the discussion shows there is consensus for the change.
Major changes should also be publicized to the community in general; announcements similar to the proposal process may be appropriate.

We should clarify WP:OCVENUE. The final sentence in paragraph #2 "Many notable locations (e.g. Madison Square Garden) have hosted so many sports events and conventions over time that categories listing all such events would not be readable." seems to indicate that size is the only reason not to categorize events by their hosting locations while I think it has more to do with that not being a defining feature. Could we add another sentence stating "The venue of a specific event is rarely a defining feature and categories for venues should not include specific events."?-- User:Namiba 17:59, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
