=== Step 3: Finalizing the Policy ===
When the policy has been approved, replace {{t|draft-policy}} with {{t|approved-policy}}, and mark it on any related discussions. This doesn't mean that the policy can't be talked about more; it just we need to know what conversation(s) happened before, during and after it's approval.
In order to finalize the policy, it should be known around the wiki, and become easily accessible. It can easily be located with shortcuts. Each policy page has a shortcut for easier linking and typing.
 
In order to finalize the policy, it needs to get known around the wiki, be easily [[Lylat Wiki:Accessible|Accessible]] and [[Lylat Wiki:Findability|findable]]. But how does this get done?
