What is the point of this Article on Content?
editNothing important links to this page. This is a failed proposed definition. I propose that the shortcut WP:CONTENT be redirected to Wikipedia:Content disclaimer and discus deletion of the Project page. - Stillwaterising (talk) 05:57, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Content is more than articles
editA possibly simpler definition of content would be all the material that is suitable for print in a printed encyclopedia. This would include
- articles
- article categorization (non-administrative categories)
- These could be used to form an automated index
- Some help pages (and possibly a very few project pages including some disclaimers)
- The preface of most encyclopedias does include a how to use it and interpret its conventions
- Portals
- The end of many encyclopedias does include such material
- Print-worthy redirects to any of the above
- Also likely part of an automated index
Having said all that, I don't think there will ever be an actually printed encyclopedia, although there have been versioned CDs, and student editions, eg. WP:1 and simple:. Dpleibovitz (talk) 17:22, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- Agree. This page is an undeveloped essay, unworthy of “Information”. Retagged {{essay}}. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:07, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Content → Wikipedia:What is "content" on Wikipedia? – or Wikipedia:The content of Wikipedia or Wikipedia:Content in Wikipedia. This rather-minimalistic information page is just a five-sentence definition of what "content" is on Wikipedia (plus some hatnotes and "see also" links – it's almost a disambiguation page). A more suitable use of the name "WP:CONTENT" would be to redirect it to the same place as the harder-to-remember WP:FOC shortcut – i.e., to redirect it to the guideline about focusing on article content rather than editor behavior. As recorded above, someone else suggested in 2010 to redirect the shortcut to Wikipedia:Content disclaimer. I suppose my comments are really more about WP:CONTENT than WP:Content, but it might be confusing if WP:Content exists and WP:CONTENT leads to somewhere else. There has also been some questioning on the Talk page about the suitability of the definition as well. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:38, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
- I'm pretty neutral on this. I'm not familiar with WP:FOC myself, but when I searched for wikilinks to that shortcut, I found a little over 1,000 across various talk pages, vs. 16 for WP:CONTENT, so it does seem like WP:Dispute resolution#Focus on content is "primary with respect to usage", so to speak. I agree that it would be weird if WP:Content and WP:CONTENT went to different places. Colin M (talk) 21:12, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
- FWIW, I like Wikipedia:Content in Wikipedia as the best WP:CONCISE option here... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:48, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
- Just so long as the resulting redirects to both the project page itself and this talk page are left, I think it makes obsolutely no difference. Am I missing something? There are some interesting issues raised by BarrelProof above, but this RM doesn't solve any of them, and it should not be seen as an endoresement of the whole package if it does go ahead.

- Support. WP:Content in Wikipedia looks good. The current is ambiguous with Portal:Content, which probably should come to this title when the Portal Namespace is deprecated. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:04, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- Good point, so you and IJBall are right. !vote below. Andrewa (talk) 23:08, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- Support WP:Content in Wikipedia. Good analysis by SmokeyJoe. Andrewa (talk) 23:08, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
