I appreciate the point but I respectfully disagree
editWhile I appreciate the intent of this, and while I agree that it is better to cite an actual guideline or policy than to cite WP:42, there are situations where there will not be confusion and where the "verbal shorthand" will be useful.
Also, it is perfectly okay in my opinion to cite WP:42 as a pointer to the actual policies and guidelines, as in "Per the guidelines and polices mentioned on WP:42", as a reason to PROD or in an AFD nomination or discussion. Note that when I say "okay" I'm not saying it's the best way of getting the point across - it frequently isn't. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:26, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
