AVID:Requests for Comment/Define appropriate use for Requests for Comment

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:

"RFCs should be opened about matters concerning the wiki as a whole, such as policy changes, enabling and disabling extensions, and features and ideas which would have significant effect on the wiki as a whole. Do not use this page to start discussions on page-specific matters, such as merges, splits, single category renames or deletions, except where a dispute pertaining to a single page is so significant that discussion on the article talk page has failed to effectively resolve it."

 * Yeah, unless it's something that would a huge impact or nobody can agree on what should be done, I don't think we need to have RFCs for requests regarding certain pages like merging, adding or separating. Those kinds of discussions are way better suited for the talk page(s) of the affected article(s) or on the Forums. HibiscusCrown20 (talk) 16:14, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
