Our policy on launching into Main: will be: If it doesn't look done enough, just move it [back] into
the Trope Workshop. Any error it takes me 10 seconds to fix is not
worth banning anyone (or even complaining about). The rest of the policy was off the top of my head (over 9000 cs in notepad.exe), but thankfully policy pages by admins are a free launch.
I do
agree with you in principle that there shouldn't be a separation
between content creation and deployment, but I like to think of the
Trope Workshop as a quick and easy-to-find editing shop. You go in,
throw your idea out there, and let Wiki Magic make it into a real
entry. Just like Santa's Workshop.
And democracy with drive-by voting is a terrible way to run, well, anything. There's a reason every non-monarchy country does the republic thing. Anyway, if you want to express an opinion, editing to actually express it is not hard.
Also, "YKTTW:" is a shortcut for "Trope Workshop:", which already confused the Orain folks who set it up, and will make a fine shibboleth for n00bs.
