The other thing to consider when you make any proposal with us is how the proposal would be enacted if adopted. If you recognise from the get-go that your proposal would require massive manual editing, then the chances are it's not even worth proposing, because it could never be fully (or even mostly) enacted.

Yes, perhaps we could incorporate this as a sort of "best practice", but it could never be actual policy.

Well, I suppose the real world thing could be policy because relatively few of those pages have any substantive content to them, so you're only talking about a few hundred pages to copyed. But there's no way you could do it with the bulkier character pages — unless you decided that it was the only thing you were going to do on the wiki for the next few months.
