Please see [[Wikipedia:Advertising discussions]], a

Hmm. I'm going through that list there, and it is actually rather
difficult to decide what level of exposure to pitch a small proposal
like this at. So far, I've done:
*Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)
*Wikipedia:Village pump (policies)
*Wikipedia talk:Canvassing
*Wikipedia talk:Consensus
*Wiki-en-l mailing list
The last one was a bit unnecessary really.
The Community bulletin board, CENT template, and Wikipedia:Requests
for comment/Policies feel a bit like overkill. I suppose it is the
difference between wanting some input and wanting some formal approval
(that should really come later by some ill-defined "common practice"
assessment - if this is common practice, it should be a guideline
immediately, if not, more discussion is needed). Other options are
even "higher" and less appropriate.
So I am going to stop there and see what input results.
