Forum:New MOS

As I mentioned at Forum:Conduct and Discipline Policy, I am rewriting or reworking several key policies - the second of which is the proposal outlined in this post, an improved Manual of Style.

This centres on merging BF:ARTICLE into BF:MOS, which I know from Forum:Conduct and Discipline Policy isn't an entirely popular move. But the fact is, the former focuses mainly on what articles we should create and how to name them - which fits perfectly with the layouts of articles as opening sections in MOS.

Furthermore, sections like the one about leaked content fit in about what should and shouldn't be included in articles - something that is clearly within the MOS scope.

But the proposal also includes reworking of content from both, plus some entirely new content, so please don't just rule out this proposal on the basis of previous arguments, take a look at my proposal (User:Bondpedia/Sandbox) and give me your opinion.

Furthermore, it is far from complete. If there are things that currently look awkward or out of place, or if you think there are things that would work better differently, say so. If there are things you don't like, say so, and say how these sections can be improved. Finally, feel free to point out anything you would like to be included that isn't currently.
