2. May I ask if my champion concepts' layouts are acceptable? Or should I use the current template? (as far as I can remember I had used the old template when I posted them)

Anyway I am planning to fix them so that they have the latest template.

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Makbloo/Grolk_Kar,_The_Great_Wyrm,_Kog%27Maw%27s_Daddy

(All 3 use the same template)

3. For a more clear explenation of this new policy, I would suggest (if possible) to add links of acceptable templates for other Wiki-member to be able to see and not spam with questions about the "viability" of their conepts.

4. Furthermore I have a suggestion to make concerning the removal of chamoion concepts. Is it possible to create a "Recycle Bin" were users' concepts are stored if they do not meet the requirements? This recycle bin would only be acccessible by Wiki Stuff (or staff I'm not sure which one is the correct, sorry)  and the members whose concepts have been removed. The use of this "Bin" would allow members, who did not have the time to adjust their concets, so that they meet the requirements, to visit the "Bin", edit teir concept and be able to republish it.

I hope you understand my idea! :)

+1 To the cleanup however

1. Within 3-4 days, we will complete the purging of any champion concepts that does not have any signs of improvement in quality. After then, we will do a check every 3 months for new concepts that are older than 3 months, starting April.

2. Ah yes, I should make this clearer:
 * New templates refer to the current templates used on actual champions.
 * Old templates refer to the previously used template, an example can be seen here.

So in your case, you have to port them into a newer template before it gets removed. You are allowed to post and refeature them again instead of just re-editing the old pages.

3. Sure thing. I'll take some examples from the main page here:
 * This will be removed if it's not changed in April. There's lack of formatting and lots of missing values.
 * This stays, as it uses the current template, has complete values, and the concept can be read. Consider this the minimum required to keep it.
 * This stays, because it is made of decent quality plus all of the minimum requirements above.
 * This will be removed, despite having enough text(lore written) to qualify for a blog post, it is text-only for a champion concept, and will be subsequently removed in the future.
 * This obviously will be purged. Joke concept as it may be, it does not have any sort of quality to be worth keeping.

4. That I cannot answer you, as that will be the administrator's decision to do so, but it seems like it would be a hassle to implement that. This is why we're giving a grace period of 3 days for CCCs older than 1st January 2013 to have time to recover their works. (duplicate, empty, flamebait and text-only joke CCCs are automatically removed)
