The '''Oak Grove''' is a place where community members can discuss larger changes to the wiki, such as policy proposals or suggestions to substantially redesign high-traffic content pages. As this page will be viewed by a number and variety of editors, you can expect fair and centralised discussions. Broadly construed, if the community would be interested in the topic, start it here. Even if a discussion is taking place elsewhere, it may be appropriate to announce that discussion here as well.

* '''Gemini Station matters:''' For discussions on ''Gemini Station'' itself, use the ''Gemini Station'' official forums. To discuss changes to an individual article, use its talk page. Alternatively, ask in the wiki's discord channels.

* '''Admin help:''' For wiki assistance, opinions, or to make request to the users or [[GSWiki:Administrators|administrators]] of this wiki, leave a note on the [[GSWiki:User help|user help]] page or [[GSWiki:Administrator requests|administrator requests]] page or request help in the discord server, respectively.

* '''Active discussions:''' For several other types of content discussions, visit [[Forum:Active discussions]].

* '''Rejected proposals:''' Check [[Forum:Oak Grove/Previously rejected proposals|previously rejected proposals]] before writing a proposal.

* '''Closing threads:'''

** Closing threads [[Forum:Non-sysops closing Yew Grove threads|must]] be done by an [[GS:A|administrator]].

** When a discussion is over, make sure the policy/consensus is put into effect before archiving the discussion.

** All threads should be closed by adding ''archive=true'' to the forumheader template, followed by ''closure=allow/disallow/withdrawn/no proposal'', ''date=<nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki>'', ''user=USERNAME'', and ''type=type of thread''.

** The ''subject'' parameter is used to describe the proposal or subject of the forum, for use in [[GSWiki:Forum Archives]].

** The ''notes'' parameter is optional based on if the closure needs clarifying beyond allow/disallow/etc.

** Example: <code><nowiki>{{Forumheader|Oak Grove|subject=Create a template policy|archive=true|closure=allow|date=~~~~~|user=Example|type=type of thread|notes=Policy located at [[GS:TEMPLATES]]}}</nowiki></code> (see [[Template:Forumheader]] for valid values of the 'type' and 'closure' parameters).

** Semi-protection needs to be applied to all archived discussions.
