I feel the main issue lies with the Manual of Style. Since it's worded as such, and it's so lengthy, hardly ever do users add it. We could make a few changes to our Welcome Template, but most of the edits come from anonymous users who only edit once or twice ever, so it will be fairly useless. I feel the best solution is to comply the main ideas of the manual of style into a short, numbered list "Wiki Rules". Because of the page name, it seems that page is of high importance, and much more users will read it than the Manual of Style, and because it's a short, sweet, numbered list, users will not be turned off as opposed to when reading the Manual of Style. I don't think many users read the policies anyway, if they do, they usually will read the Manual of Style. If they don't, they probably won't read Manual of Style either.

However, you do have a point, although I think a better solution may be to have a summary version and the original version and let users decide which one they'd like to read.
