Forum:Finally: a formal definition for higher BEAF!

Sorry about the irrelevant clickbait title. This is about what we're going to do with ill-defined notations and numbers on the wiki. There are two extreme points of view: 0) allow anything and everything on the wiki provided that it is properly sourced, or 1) forbid all numbers and notations that have not been formally verified as well-defined.

As I see it this wiki is at an 0.3 or so. I would like us to get to 0.7. Specifically, I propose the following:


 * If a notation is completely ill-defined and has no redeeming features, such as Aarex hydra, it should be removed from the wiki.
 * If a notation is ill-defined but has some significance otherwise, such as BEAF beyond its tetrational part, it should remain on the wiki but:
 * It should not appear in List of googologisms or List of googological functions.
 * The article should state as clearly as possible that it is ill-defined and should not include approximations that give it the veneer of formality.
