:::::{{ping|LC Developer}} You are right, I have in fact closed multiple RfCs, and I'm happy to defend my closure of them. For the record, in the context of this discussion, multiple means (2). Firstly, I closed a section of an RfC due to the fact that it had already been implemented by a Consul. As a result, the RfC was moot. I also closed another section of the same RfC because there was a prerequisite stating that both that section of the RfC and its counterpart on Meta needed to be successful in order to pass. The Meta RfC was not successful, as a result, the section was moot. As for where I found the criteria stating that it must be closed by functionaries, that's convention. That has been convention on Miraheze for a long time. Maybe it should've been added as part of the policy, maybe it shouldn't have. But that's what convention has been for a long time. And yes, I do have multiple editing restrictions. That is the product of issues from a while ago, and hopefully they will be removed soon. But I have also been on the Miraheze platform for 3 years, and have an extremely in-depth knowledge of how it runs. Your account, from what I can see, is 3 weeks old. You don't really seem to know how Miraheze operates. That's alright, you're new, I get it. Just try and listen to others. Hope I've explained myself thoroughly enough.

::::::I will also note that implementing RfCs (such as creating policy pages) should be done by functionaries unless you've consulted them first, which doesn't appear to be the case with [[TestWiki:RfC policy]]. Again, I know that you are new. But you're getting ahead of yourself here, and doing stuff that you shouldn't do. If a functionary hasn't implemented an RfC they just closed, there's probably a reason for it. I recommend you delete the RfC policy page and its redirect so the policy can be properly created. I'm just going to say it so that we can avoid further confusion. You should ''not'' be implementing RfCs or making administrative decisions for TestWiki. Full stop.

:::::::Okay, thank you for clearing things up. Your closure of the RfC's was fine, and I agree with it. In regards to [[TestWiki:RfC policy]], I will not delete it at this time. I just copied the text from the RfC to the page. Since the RfC was approved by a consul, I will leave it up to the consuls to decide to delete the page.
:::::::To summarize, I will not delete the page, but I want any consul that feels it should be deleted to delete it. While I now know I shouldn't have created it, I feel that it is necessary so new users, like myself, don't get confused.
