Should WP:Privacy be merged here

I wasted a lot of time on WP:Privacy, and asked a question there, before I found this one. And I see you have a section on Wikipedia:OUTING#Posting_of_personal_information that could be expanded a bit. Just in case anyone wants to merge them to avoid confusion by people researching these issues. Thanks. Carol Moore 22:04, 19 January 2008 (UTC)CarolMooreDC talk

Wikipedia:Outing (essay) → ? – This essay currently has rather poor visibility, and I believe its title is to blame. For one, adding a hatnote to the target of Wikipedia:Outing and Wikipedia:OUTING to refer back to this essay seems like it would cause more confusion than help, especially given the already-large stack of hatnotes at that target. For two, this essay may be outdated, given it was created in 2006 and its most recent edit was in 2013; due to this, it seems some of the claims in the essay may be inaccurate since Wikipedia has advanced some of its policies since then. In a nutshell, I'm opening this move request since a new title for this page is a start, though not necessarily the end nor the only fix. Steel1943 (talk) 09:32, 8 November 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

Indifferent, but leaving a suggestion for at least a conversation. Suggesting Wikipedia:False and malicious outing based on my reading of the essay. Bobby Cohn (talk) 17:01, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
