:::::The tag isn't obsolete (<nowiki><br></nowiki>), although anything before and after <nowiki><div></div></nowiki> create new lines before and after automatically, which {{tem|br}} uses. Just the property part is obsolete (<nowiki><br clear=all></nowiki>). I guess I wasn't clear what {{user|YoshiKong}} wanted and that was to do the equivalent of pressing return or enter on a keyboard and actually have it display, much simpler than {{tem|br}}. Hope this clarifies any confusion. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 20:26, 27 July 2016 (EDT)

== Improvements ==
[[MarioWiki:Proposals#Basic proposal and support/oppose format]] you have to manually calculate the time. Here's how to make MarioWiki do that for you so all you have to do is copy-paste! This is thanks to [[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions|MediaWiki Parser Functions]]. See the source code to find out how it works!

The deadline line can just be updated with the code so you don't have to replace the insert text. The end date will be there automatically. Highlighted in yellow is the code you want to use. Highlighted in green is the current time cached by the software (not live). --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 18:55, 21 April 2017 (EDT)
:It may be hard to measure exactly to the second...or even to the minute.... -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 22:47, 19 November 2017 (EST)
::With the above code I created, that shouldn't be an issue, unless you are referring to manual calculation we do now instead of the automatic calculation I coded. Seems like the cached time refreshes every three or so minutes on its own, whenever the page using the time parser functions is accessed. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 00:21, 20 November 2017 (EST)
:::Wow, that seems really useful.  I wonder why we already don't use something like this.  We need to make the change. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 00:24, 20 November 2017 (EST)
== Rule 7 (RP) ==
"No proposal can overturn the decision of a previous proposal that is less than 4 weeks (28 days) old." I think this should be changed to "No proposal can be created to overturn the decision of a previous proposal that is less than 4 weeks (28 days) old.", so that it is clear what is meant by this statement (as a proposal can be created during that time, but ends after the 4 week limit as with [[Talk:King Bill (Banzai Bill)#Change this page's identifier|what was decided with this]]). (copied from [[MarioWiki talk:Proposals#Rule 7 (RP)]], due to it being more relevant here.){{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 21:08, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
== Minor Grammar Issue ==
This is just very minor.  The word "their" is used eleven times in the singular.  The first nine times it should be "his", and the last two times it should be "its".  Just pointing out this issue. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 12:31, 18 November 2017 (EST)
:"Their" is used when gender is indeterminable, so there's nothing wrong here. The second to last "their" could be an "its", though. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:37, 18 November 2017 (EST)
::Wow, grammar has really changed, hasn't it?  In my younger years "his" was the word for the unknown gender.  But the last two instances of "their" do need to be changed to "its". -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 13:02, 18 November 2017 (EST)
:::Last one doesn't need to be changed. Makes sense as it is, as "their" is referring to the proposer, not the proposal itself. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:05, 18 November 2017 (EST)
== TPP Rule 5 ==
TPP Rule 5 should be removed from the list, as it is no longer enforced.  We now have a passed proposals section instead. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 22:20, 9 December 2017 (EST)
