User blog:Anonymous ONI agent/New & improved quality control policies: yay or nay?

We all know that Halo Fanon prides itself on high quality work. And we all know that we have long had a number of quality control policies to a standard of quality across the wiki, namely the infamous NCF policy. Although this isn't always effective 100% of the time, of course, this has still made for a significantly lesser number of 'bad' pages on Halo Fanon than on fan fiction sites which lack similar policies.

However, that does not mean we cannot continue to improve our policies. With the Halo 4 post-release boon of new contributors well underway, I feel this is a great time to streamline our quality control a bit and adjust our focus to dealing with the issues that are most predominant at present.

In the past, canon-friendliness has served as our primary "measuring stick" for determining quality. And in the past, this worked well. But with the rights to the franchise changing hands, Halo canon is not nearly as concrete as it used to be. To make matters more complex, Halo Fanon's stance on the new 343 canon is not concrete either; while it is fairly universally agreed that following the new canon is optional while old Bungie canon remains mandatory, this, nor anything else on the matter, has actually been added in as official site policy. With the amount of loopholes and inconsistencies this creates in terms of determining an article's canon friendliness, it seems to me that canon friendliness is no longer the most logical means of determining quality.

Therefore, I'd like to propose a pair of new, updated quality control policies.

My first proposal is that we enforce spelling and grammar in the same way that we enforce the NCF policy. In addition to the tag we already use, a tagged article must be brought into an presentable state within 2 weeks of the tagging, or else the page will be namespaced.

The second proposal is a bit more complex, and it is that we impose a policy enforcing proper formatting techniques. While determining what exactly "proper formatting" entails would have to be done through a community/administrative vote or discussion, some example requirements might be that any type of article for which one or more applicable infoboxes exist must have an infobox unless a legitimate reason is given, articles must not contain those stupid-looking "Add Image", Write the second section of your page here", or other unused things from Wikia's "Standard Layout", et cetera. This would also be enforced like the current NCF policy: A tagging, a period of time is given to the author to fix the issues, and the article is namespaced if it is not fixed after two weeks.

As for the NCF policy, it can be left in place. I would, however, be more lenient towards new users who make fairly minor canonical mistakes like messing up dates or SPARTAN tags. We can't expect realistically every newbie to have researched such things before starting to edit here.

So, what do you all think about this ideas? Any thoughts? Suggestions? New policy proposals of your own?
