Considering how this wiki is in the process of being reborn, I think that it should be approached more as a new wiki than as a large, established one. As such, I think that several policies should be put on hold to be decided on later.

So, I believe that these policies should be kept active in their current forms/with minor revisions:
 * Assume good faith
 * Copyrights
 * Images
 * No personal attacks
 * Notability
 * Vandalism
 * Agree that Quietly deal with vandals should be merged with this one.
 * Only revert once
 * This one may be able to be merged with "Assume good faith"...
 * SmashWiki is not official
 * Stub
 * Blocking policy
 * Deletion policy
 * Protection policy

Policies which I think should be kept, but should not be put into effect (ie. be enforced) immediately (either due to needing major revision, or not seeming necessary at the time):
 * Rollback, Administrators (related: failed policy "User:Semicolon/Requests for Adminship Proposal")
 * Specifically, I think the parts about the processes behind requesting additional rights should be changed depending on how the community feels sometime down the line.
 * Sign your comments
 * I'm not so sure this one should necessarily be enforced on IPs – their signatures don't identify them to the point of individuality like a username/custom signature does.
 * What SmashWiki is not
 * I think this is another one which should be decided later on by the community.
 * Forum Rules, Forums, Forums/Alternate (failed)
 * Should be synthesized into one policy, preferably after some revision and reevaluation (for instance, the first policy would partially depend on what is decided on "Sign your comments").

Policies which I think should not be kept/should be significantly or completely rewritten:
 * Crew Pages (failed)
 * I feel that what relevant information there is in this policy should be ported over to "SmashWiki:Smasher pages" (a previously failed policy), which should be incorporated within the restrictions of "Notability".
 * Three revert rule (failed)
 * Obsoleted by "Only revert once".
 * Regarding user pages and user talk pages: I believe that there should be guidelines on them, but not necessarily full, enforceable policies.

Also, policies which directly reference "SmashWiki" should be renamed to reflect whatever this wiki's name eventually becomes.
