I don't mind dealing with angry kids in the short term if organization is improved in the long term. (We already have "why u delete my edit/oc page" complaints every so often, so you can't make everyone happy.) If users feel it's a bad change, we can always go back.

Information about appropriate comments should be as obvious as possible. We would at least need a highlighted announcement and a guide in the comment box. It would help to link people to the comment policy if their comment is removed (additional work for moderators, but I don't have much to do as it is).

Having two distinct comment areas might be ideal, although I'm not sure what's possible in that regard. I know that if you tag a forum thread with a topic, it will show up in a section under the article titled "Discussions about x", and there will be a helpful "Start a Discussion" button next to it. (e.g. look at the Kokona Haruka page.) There's no button if there aren't already discussions for that article, though. Of course, most commenters will choose to scroll down a little more and type their comment into the page regardless, especially if it's something simplistic that doesn't warrant a full discussion like "I like her hair". I personally don't think comments like this are very valuable, but others may feel differently.

At the very least, I think fan art/humorous screenshots should be restricted to forum threads. Fan theories/headcanons would be better served there as well.

I have two policies to draft right now, so would one of you be up for drafting a comment policy? Just a basic skeleton is fine, I can help with it too. Probably neater to make a separate page than paste our drafts here. The council draft was on a user subpage: http://yandere-simulator.wikia.com/wiki/User:Jackboog21/Councils. Just replace "Jackboog21" with your username and "Councils" with the name of the page you're creating.
