Talk:Other Lancaster Positions

I'm creating a discussion page for this because there seems to be a fair amount of fighting over several listings here, and problems should be worked out before making edits, and because the page in general has some organizational problems

Issues to resolve:

• Definition of a passed down item versus a position
• Whether there is a proper procedure to create a new position
• What do do with dead positions
• Whether a dead position should be listed on this page if it was only passed once
• Whether the list should be divided or organized by session

Please discuss, we don't want to make major edits without agreement among users.

Creation of New Positions

Alright so I've just taken the trouble to organize the list of positions so here's how to add a new one

1. Add an entry on this page. Keep in mind whether what you are adding is a true position or a passed-down item. If you're confused about the difference, refer to Position. Put it in the right section accordingly.

2. Add it to the list on the page Position and link it here.

Recent Edits to Positions Pages

Due to the amount of shameless egotism and the tendency of positions to go defunct, I've moved everything that hasn't been around at least five years to Memories. At least a dozen new "positions" or "relics" have been created over the past four years! Few if any of these came about accidentally or organically, and some of them (e.g. Rascal) promote things that do not need to be encouraged.

Perhaps we should make separate pages for "Pending Positions" and "Defunct Positions" so that other pages don't get too cluttered? I agree that there should be a certain amount of time that positions/relics should have existed, but I feel like the entries clutter the Memories page.

There are some positions (Friend, Rascal, Coconuts) that are official positions and in no way disputed. The original holders have all aged out and I think it is only fair to put them as official. They all have permanent relics that have been around for a long time. And I don't understand why everyone is against Rascal. -User:Annievail9
