It appears to me that RFCs are starting to be misused for trivial matters. Specifically, there's multiple discussions like [[AVID:Requests for Comment/Merge the 1st and 2nd Gracie Films logos (alongside other logos nearly identical in appearance)]] and [[AVID:Requests for Comment/Separate 1953 and 1956 TCF logos]] that are far more suited to article talk pages. Therefore I'd like to propose adding the following to the header section of [[AVID:Requests for Comment]] in order to clarify the purpose of this mechanism:
Line 6 ⟶ 10:
===Support===
#{{Support}} Requests for Comment are meant to be used exclusively for things such as policy changes and changes which would require community consensus as they'd be big, not for trivial things like the examples given in the foreword of this RfC. Their use for anything else can be construed as misuse. I was actually going to post a message on those RfCs to clarify what the purpose of an RfC is as consensus for those trivial things should instead be sought at a different community venue such as the talk page of the page or the forums. Usage of RfCs for trivial things is akin to a country's legislature passing a law on whether a specific person should eat pizza or meatloaf for dinner, just silly overall.
