Suggestions for question reform

edit

(Please remember that these are suggestions only, and because they are ideas some of them may even be contradictory. They are here mainly to stimulate discussion. )

  • Three standard mandatory template questions.
  • User questions are definitely optional.
  • No oppose vote can be made for not answering. Neutral vote can be made for not answering.
  • Questions from voters only, and possibly only from experienced editors.
  • Maximum of one question per user. (addressed in RfA reform Dec 2015. Fixed at 2)
  • No compound questions. (addressed in RfA reform Dec 2015. Multiple questions masquerading as one are disallowed))
  • No follow-on questions.
  • No discussion threads in the question section except one answer from the candidate.
  • Relevant questions only (see User:Kudpung/RfA criteria#The questions they ask)
  • No trick questions deliberately contrived to lead the candidate to err on the side of negativity.
  • A maximum number of user questions.
