• CZ:Dispute Resolution - needs to be updated with current understanding and plans
• CZ:About - remove Q&A format and generally edit
• CZ:FAQ - write it. Ugh. No one is doing this, looks like I'll have to...

Discussion

First, I'm going to make a big long list...then, I'll cut it down...maybe.  :-) Before we originally pared down the long list of links, I don't know how many months ago, there were a lot more links on the side bar, and people thought that it looked messy. Well, I think many people are now coming around to the way I felt: a little messiness is the price you pay for maximum usefulness.

Well, I uploaded the long list. What do you all think? --Larry Sanger 09:46, 21 February 2008 (CST)

It looks fine. But why no 'Random article'? Ro Thorpe 12:20, 21 February 2008 (CST)

I love the random button and so will visitors. Please put it back David E. Volk 14:10, 21 February 2008 (CST)

OK... --Larry Sanger 14:25, 21 February 2008 (CST)

Thanks - Ro Thorpe 16:00, 21 February 2008 (CST)

I moved "project home & help" to the first section and renamed it "help & project home". Warren Schudy 21:12, 21 February 2008 (CST)

Actually, how about "Help & Policies"? Calling the page "project home" seems a bit weird to me. Warren Schudy 21:16, 21 February 2008 (CST)
