	You can also discuss changes to an article if sweeping changes are being made and you ''actively anticipate'' the changes are controversial and will likely be challenged. This is a high threshold, in most cases you should just make the edit.

	There is really no point in spending a lot of time yelling into the void about whether a bunch of proposed edits that haven't even been written in wikitext and are just vague descriptions should be made. Like, '''at all'''.

	A typical feature of '''bold edits''' is a lack of confidence that other people will think the edit is any good. In cases like these, quite beneficial edits can go completely undone, and the wiki has not improved because ''you thought someone else might not like it''. If you think the article will be better with the edit you have in mind, what makes you think other people would disagree?

	Editors should forget about bureaucracy when editing this place. Throw bureaucracy and overthinking things in the trash where they belong. If there's an edit that '''you''' think improves the content of the article, waste no time in smacking that big orange '''Edit''' button and typing it out for all to see. Wikis like ours improve faster when people make the changes they wish they could see.		Editors should forget about bureaucracy when editing this place.
