Call for Judgement on deletion of “use it or lose it”

As there is no rule which states a mal-formed motion is invalid.  If this call for judgement is approved the motion will be undeleted.

1) This is not a CfJ.

2a) A motion may be made by an Iudex for the consideration of The Iudices Assembled. The Iudex making the Motion, known as the mover, shall create an entry in the page named Motions with the format “*[[Motion to (Subject)]] - ~~~~”.
2b) The Ruleset and Gamestate can only be altered in manners specified by the Ruleset.

3) When one makes a “mal-formed motion” by, for example, making the entry on the Motions wiki page read “Motion for (Subject)” rather than “Motion to (Subject)”, we can conclude from 2b above (quoted from the Ruleset) that the Gamestate has not actually been changed, since there is nothing in the Ruleset which permits such a change on the wiki page.  Such a “mal-formed motion” is not, of course, actually a Motion at all.

4) All Iudicies (especially admins) have a responsibility to make sure that documents such as the wiki pages or GNDT entries do not misrepresent the Gamestate.

5) Reverting errors in this way is allowed, as the Gamestate is not actually being changed while doing so.
