I disagree strongly. They are spelled out *as well as we can using current, one-flat-page methods*. That isn't the same as easy, intuitive, inviting, or comfortable, for most people. We expect a lot from newcomers. Too much.
When a user can click a button and type *"I want to delete an article"* and get a step by step helping hand (wizard fashion), or an experienced user to chat to "on the spot", or a newcomer typing an edit has the (disable-able) software popup *"You look like you're trying to reference a blog post. Here's the 3 bullet point summary on that, and a link to the current policy. Click OK to confirm if you mean to do this or HELP ME to talk to an experienced user"*... ... *then* I will agree we are making progress.
