|'''Proposals''' can be new features (such as an extension), removal of a previously added feature that has tired out, or new policies that must be approved via [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] before any action(s) are done.
*Any user can support or oppose, but must have a strong reason for doing so, not, e.g., "I like this idea!"
*"Vote" periods last for one week.
*All past proposals are [[/Archive|archived]].

A proposal section works like a discussion page: comments are brought up and replied to using indents (colons, such as : or ::::) and all edits are signed using the code <nowiki>{{user|</nowiki>''User name''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>. '''Signing with the signature code <nowiki>~~~(~)</nowiki> is not allowed''' due to technical issues.


<h2 style="color:black">How To</h2>
==Writing guidelines==
#Actions that users feel are appropriate to have community approval first can be added by anyone, but they must have a strong argument.
''None at the moment.''
#Users then vote and discuss on the issue during that week. The "deadline" for the proposal is one week from posting at:
##Monday to Thursday: 17:00 (5pm)
##Friday and Saturday: 20:00 (8pm)
##Sunday: 15:00 (3pm)
#Every vote should have a reason accompanying it.
#At any time a vote may be rejected if at least '''three''' active users believe the vote truly has no merit or was cast in bad faith. However, there must be strong reasons supporting the invalidation.
#"<nowiki>#&nbsp;</nowiki>" should be added under the last vote of each support/oppose section to show another blank line.
#Any proposal that has three votes or less at deadline will automatically be listed as "[[Wikipedia:Quorum|NO QUORUM]]." The original proposer then has the option to relist said proposal to generate more discussion.
#All proposals are archived. The original proposer must '''''take action''''' accordingly if the outcome of the proposal dictates it. If it requires the help of a sysop, the proposer can ask for that help.


The times are in EDT, and are set so that the user is more likely to be online at those times (after school, weekend nights).
==New features==
 
''None at the moment.''
So for example, if a proposal is added on Saturday night at 11:59 PM EDT, the deadline is the next Saturday night at 8:00 PM. If it is indeed a minute later, the deadline is a day plus 15 hours (Sunday), as opposed to a day minus 4 hours.

==Splits & Merges==
==Changes==
===Star Rod===
===Rename the remaining baseball teams to their current titles===
The [[Star Rod]] article is currently about both the Star Rod that [[Bowser]] stole in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and the item used in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series that originated from the ''[[Kirby]]'' series. Should the article be split in two articles, or remain as one article about two subjects?
One thing is certain: ''Mario Super Sluggers'' was first released in Japan almost three years after ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' was first released in said country. In this case, I humbly suggest that there's a possibility to move the remaining baseball team pages with their ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' name to their current name from ''Mario Super Sluggers''. So far, the current names already in use are the [[Peach Monarchs]] and [[Bowser Monsters]].
 
'''Proposer:''' {{User|Stumpers}}<br>
'''Deadline:''' June 30th, 17:00
 
====Support (split article)====
#{{User|Stumpers}} - Historically, multiple subjects have only been on the same page if they are minor ([[Board (Super Mario Galaxy)]]) or they are very closely connected ([[Ashley & Red]]).  The two Star Rods are neither: they are prominent subjects from different video game series.  Each has its own distinct history.  I have heard the arguement that the ''Paper Mario'' Star Rod is a reference to the ''Kirby'' Star Rod,  but this arguement has no source behind it, official or otherwise.  Even if it was a reference, I fail to see why the two should be merged.  The [[Devolution Gun]] isn't merged with the [[Super Scope]], for example, as both have significant, distinct roles in the ''[[Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series.
#{{User|MegaMario9910}} - Both have had different roles, and are complete different things in the Marioverse. One SSB (which is also the same one from Kirby), and the one from Paper Mario. Per Stumpers.
#{{User|MC Hammer Bro.}}-Good point. Both have different powers and different uses. And plus only one is used in SSB while the other isn't.
#{{User|The.Real.Izkat}}-Per MegaMario9910 which inadvertatley means Per Stumpers.
#{{user|InfectedShroom}} - Per Stupmers.
#{{User|PeteyPiranhaLover}} - Per Stmpers.
#[[User:Ninjayoshi|Ninjayoshi]] - Per Stumpers.
#{{User|Starry Parakarry}}- Per Stumpers. Shouldn't we have the MP 8 Star Rod included in the PM Star Rod article as well?
#{{User|Dryest bowser}}- per stumpers
#{{User|Reecer6}}- I wasn't going to per stumpers 'till i saw his reason. so now: per stumpers
#{{User|ItameMarioFan}} - Per Stumpers. Both have their own history, both differ with powers, etc.
#{{User|luigi3000}} - Per Stumpers.Stumpers has a good idea.
#{{User|Mrsdaisyluigi}} - per Stumpers. two completley differnt things
#{{User|Walkazo}} - Per all.
#{{User|Mario321}} - Two different things. There needs to be two different articles on each.
#{{User|Glitchman}} - Why does nobody ever oppose proposals made by Stumpers? XD Per all.
#{{User:Snack/Sig}} - Per Stumpers.
 
====Oppose (keep as one article)====
 
====Comments====
We need to decide what we're going to do about the split if it happens.  When someone types in "Star Rod," should it go to a disambiguation page or to the ''Paper Mario'' Star Rod?  I'm inclined to think the latter.  If we do that, the ''Paper Mario'' Star Rod can be left on the "Star Rod" page and the ''Kirby'' Star Rod can go to "Star Rod (item)" Sound good? {{User|Stumpers}}
:There was a comment about a Star Rod from ''[[Mario Party 8]]''.  For now, the above proposal would only split out the ''Kirby'' Star Rod.  If it would better the article to have it removed, a follow-up proposal splitting the article further is in order.  We'll have to see. ~{{User|Stumpers}}
::In that case, "Star Rod" should lead to the ''Paper Mario'' Star Rod page, with that little notice at the top giving you the option of going to a different Star Rod page ("Star Rod (SSB)", perhaps). - {{User|Walkazo}}
:::You know what, since there's three Star Rods, maybe we should make a Star Rod redirect to Star Rod (disambiguation) and then have it go to Star Rod (PM), Star Rod (MP8), and Star Rod (SSB).  Sound good? {{User|Stumpers}}
::::Yep. - {{User|Walkazo}}


===Merge Mario's clothing===
The following of the remaining pages will be affected by the move:
So I've been looking around the wiki, and I recently noticed that there are articles of each piece of Mario's clothing (excluding his overalls). I find this a bit odd. They aren't very notable in any way. So I think we should merge each piece into one article. It would be named something like "Mario's clothing" or "List of Mario's clothing" or something to that effect. Opinions?
*[[Mario Sunshines]] → {{fake link|Mario Fireballs}}
*[[Yoshi Islanders]] → {{fake link|Yoshi Eggs (team)}}
*[[Wario Greats]] → {{fake link|Wario Muscles}}
*[[DK Kongs]] → {{fake link|DK Wilds}}


'''Proposer''':[[User:huntercrunch|huntercrunch]]
Once this proposal passes, we'll be able to move the remaining baseball teams with their ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' names to their current ''Mario Super Sluggers'' titles.

====Support====
====Support====
#{{User|huntercrunch}} - I am the proposer and I give my reasons above.
#{{User|GuntherBayBeee}} Per proposal.
#[[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) - Kept forgetting to do this during my ongoing sports project.
#{{User|Jdtendo}} The most recent names should be prioritized.


====Oppose====
====Oppose====
#{{user|Time Q}}: Per Stumpers in the comments. [[Mario's Hat]] should have its own article. His gloves and shoes also seem to play a more or less important role, according to the respective articles.
#[[User:Ninjayoshi|Ninjayoshi]] - Per Stumpers and Time Q.  Also, the hat has been in every single Mario game.  Ex. his overalls were changed around in the beginning
#{{user|InfectedShroom}} - Per Time. The gloves and shoes are rather important in Luigi's Mansion.
#{{User|Glitchman}} - Mario's Hat, Shoes, and Glove all have an important role in [[Luigi's Mansion]], plus the hat also has an important role in Super Mario 64.  Keep them how they are.


====Comments====
====Comments====
Just so that people can judge better, the articles are: [[Mario's Hat]], [[Mario's Glove]], [[Mario's Shoe]], [[Mario's Shirt]], [[Mario's Overalls]], and, if you consider it, [[Mario's Star]].  I would agree with you on the glove, shoes, shirt, and overalls.  We did the same with [[Pauline's Items]].  However, the hat is what's getting to me.  That has played an important role in the series and is apparently the secret to Mario's power (see Super Mario 64). {{User|Stumpers}}
I think his shoes and gloves should be merged. -[[User:Ninjayoshi|Ninjayoshi]]
:I agree with Stumpers. After this proposal dies we should have another one to merge everything but Mario's Hat (since it's too late to alter this one). - {{User|Walkazo}}
::Will do. {{User|Stumpers}}
==Changes==
===The Notability Standard===
To quote one of the standards for a Featured Article as established by [[MarioWiki:Featured Articles]], to become an FA an article must, "…be notable and have significant content – some complete articles like [[Spiny Shroopa]] do not have enough information to become FAs."  On a number of Featured Article Nominations, including [[Smithy]] and [[Alien (Club Nintendo)]], the nomination has been questioned on the basis of this rule.  If a single user feels that a subject is too minor, he or she can stop the nomination in its tracks by casting an oppose vote.  In my opinion, the quoted standard leaves too much up to opinion of a small group of users and defeats the purpose of an oppose vote.  The point of an oppose vote is to help the supporters to make improvements on the article (as established by MarioWiki:Featured Articles).  The supporters cannot make a subject more notable.  In addition, the rule may hinders desire to edit an article about a minor topic.  However, I do appreciate the need for a featured article to be longer than Spiny Shroopa if the Wiki is to look established and appealing to new editors and casual readers.  Therefore, I propose that we replace the above condition with the following: '''to become an FA, an article must have at least 4,000 characters (letters, spaces, etc.) not including templates, categories, quotes, images, and "official profiles and statistics" sections.  Text in an image thumbnail is included.'''  Examples of articles that just make this limit are [[Baby Daisy]] and [[Booster]].  I am currently open to increasing the minimum character limit or removing non-breaking spaces (the ones the spacebar puts in) from that limit; please discuss.  Microsoft Word includes a statistic feature that allows a user to easily find the character count with and without spaces.
'''Proposer:''' {{User|Stumpers}}<br>
'''Deadline:''' June 30, 17:00
====Support (replace standard)====
#{{User|Stumpers}} - See proposal.  This proposal would limit the amount of pointless discussion without allowing short articles to hinder the appearance of the Wiki further.
#[[User:Ultimatetoad|Ultimatetoad]] This is a good Idea. Having a length requirement sort of ensures that the chracter is "important", without allowing arguments over chracters that only appeared in one game.
#{{user|InfectedShroom}} - Great idea. Per Stumpers.
#{{User|Soler}} —Having a definite standard would in all probability speed up the process and avoid petty disputes. Great idea.
#[[User:Ninjayoshi|Ninjayoshi]] - Yeah, some pointless articles have been nominated. Per Stumpers.
#{{User|Cobold}} - Sounds like the best solution, no more fights on what's important enough and what not.
#{{User|Starry Parakarry}}-Pretty good idea! I like it, a lot actually! Per Stumpers!
#{{User|Walkazo}} - Per all.
#{{user|Clay Mario}} - Per Stumpers.
#{{user|P. Trainer}} Per all.
====Oppose (maintain standard)====
===Comments===
Not a bad idea. However, do you have plans to do a Byte limit as well? That would wear it down to an even finer point. I dunno, just a suggestion. Thought I'd throw it out there. :P {{user|InfectedShroom}}
:Do you know how you find the byte count for the articles?  If so that might work better. {{User|Stumpers}}
::Yeah, just go into the history and it's right in the last edit message: (cur) (last)  11:18, 24 June 2008 Ninjayoshi (Talk | contribs) ('''18,397 bytes'''). ;) {{User|InfectedShroom}}
:::Awesome.  Let me experiment with that a bit and see if it's a better alternative.  I really like that we can check that on-website, but I'm worried about users adding lots of quotes or screenshots to make an article meet the requirement. {{User|Stumpers}}
Bytes could be difficult to determine. I'd go with a bottom limit of 4000 characters, including spaces. {{User|Cobold}}
:Okay, I'll keep the proposal as it is, then.  Thanks for the support, everyone. {{User|Stumpers}}

===Allow cameo '''appearences''' to be documented in character articles===
''None at the moment.''
 
The Cameo page currently includes numerous examples of purposeful Mario appearences by Nintendo. These incude his appearences in those sports games )can't remember the names) Mike Tyson's Punch-Out Kirby Superstar, etc. I propose that we incorporate these "official" cameo's into the main characters article, as a way to include more info.

#[[User:Ultimatetoad|Ultimatetoad]]per above
#{{User|Blitzwing}} - Per Above (Ahahaha).
#{{User|Stumpers}} - We do the same for Nintendo cameos within Mario/Donkey Kong/Yoshi games (see Link or Sonic), so why not?  Would this also include the official crossovers NBA Street V3, SSX on Tour, and Itadiki Street DS?  I suppose it should since we already include Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.
#{{User|Cobold}} per all of them.
#{{User|Ninjayoshi}} - Vote Change.  Yeah, after reading Stumpers' vote, it makes sense. Per all, and I agree with Blitzwing in the comments.
#{{User|Dryest bowser}} - per all
#{{User|Glitchman}} - I think this would be a good idea for minor characters like Stanley the Bugman, Donkey Kong Jr., ect., but characters like Mario, Luigi, and Peach already have sooooo many appearances, why bother?  So in short, no for major characters, yes for minor ones.
#{{User|MelissaMarioSister}} - Per Ultimatetoad and Stumpers. In response to Glitchman: yes, the main characters have many appearances, but this is a reference site. I think the goal here is to be as complete as possible.
#{{User|Iron Maiden}} - Great idea. Per all.
#{{User|P. Trainer}} Per all

====Comments====
 
I dunno. If we listed '''every''' time Mario has been seen/mentioned in a tv show, the page would be (even more) horribly long. --[[User:Blitzwing|Blitzwing]] 12:41, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
:I am not suggesting that we mention every Mention, or even every appearence. For instance several series feature characters who dress in a style similar to Mario: these can be left out of the article. However, when Mario (or any other character, for that matter) makes a full-fledged appearence and has an actual role in an episode, it should be mentioned. - [[User:Ultimatetoad|Ultimatetoad]]
::Maybe we should cover official cameos on that page and leave unoffical ones out? It would keep it short. {{User|Stumpers}}
 
 
Hmmmmm..... what would classify as an official cameo? - [[User:Ultimatetoad|Ultimatetoad]]
:Indeed, what's an official cameo? One put into a non-Mario game by Nintendo themselves? One Nintendo gave permission to? (those sports games for the GameCube with Mario, Luigi and Peach in it). - {{User|Cobold}} 13:31, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
::That was what I was thinking.  Thanks for defining it! {{User|Stumpers}}
 
Ultimatetoad, please always add a reason to your votes, even if you're the proposer. {{User|Time Q}}
 
But I don't '''wanna''' - [[User:Ultimatetoad|Ultimatetoad]]
:As much as I'm all in favor of forcing voters to give their reasons, this is ridiculous. {{User|Blitzwing}}
::Not really, it could prevent users from seeing the "unreasoned" vote and thinking "Oh hey, there's someone who doesn't give a reason, so I don't have to either". It's like the "Per ''[insert user]''" thing, almost everyone uses it now, most of them just copying what other users do. {{User|Time Q}}
 
I was just joking. I dit put a reason, even if it is just : please refer above (ok, so maybe it's just "above, you know what it means.
 
I think that Stumpers had a good idea: non-mario games which Mario appears in (and games which are made by nintendo) should be incorporated into the character page. Everything else can stay on [[Cameo]]. I will change my proposal to reflect this. - [[User:Ultimatetoad|Ultimatetoad]]
:Currently, NBA V3 and SSX on Tour (I believe those are the names) are both on the Game Sightings page. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 09:22, 26 June 2008 (EDT)
 
erm, well, thos are "official" sightings too, so they should probably be moved.... I mean, we have articles for the ''games''. don't we? - [[User:Ultimatetoad|Ultimatetoad]]
:At one time we did, which is probably what you were remembering.  With the introduction of the game sightings article, someone merged them.  I'd be for separating them, though. {{User|Stumpers}}
::Since discerning official and unofficial cameos is gonna get hairy, why not just include a short, concise list of all the cameos on the page, minus generic allusions to the character by non-Nintendo/video game sources (as Ultimatetoad mentioned earlier). The list would be something like this:
::*Tennis - Mario is the referee.
::*Banjo-Kazooie - Mario is mentioned by someone (can't remembr who).
::*Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow/Fire Red/Leaf Green - [[Mario and Wario]] is depicted on a TV.
::Admittedly for [[Mario]] it's basically a streamlined version of [[Cameo]], but for the other characters it'd be more original and usefull. - {{User|Walkazo}}

Current time:
Friday, September 13th, 18:12 GMT
Proposals can be new features (such as an extension), the removal of previously-added features that have tired out, or new policies that must be approved via consensus before any action is taken.
  • "Vote" periods last for one week.
  • Any user can support or oppose, but must have a strong reason for doing so (not, e.g., "I like this idea!").
  • All proposals must be approved by a majority of voters, including proposals with more than two options.
  • For past proposals, see the proposal archive and the talk page proposal archive.

A proposal section works like a discussion page: comments are brought up and replied to using indents (colons, such as : or ::::) and all edits are signed using the code {{User|User name}}.

How to

Rules

  1. If users have an idea about improving the wiki or managing its community, but feel that they need community approval before acting upon that idea, they may make a proposal about it. They must have a strong argument supporting their idea and be willing to discuss it in detail with the other users, who will then vote about whether or not they think the idea should be used. Proposals should include links to all relevant pages and writing guidelines. Proposals must include a link to the draft page. Any pages that would be largely affected by the proposal should be marked with {{proposal notice}}.
  2. Only registered, autoconfirmed users can create, comment in, or vote on proposals and talk page proposals. Users may vote for more than one option, but they may not vote for every option available.
  3. Proposals end at the end of the day (23:59) one week after voting starts, except for writing guidelines and talk page proposals, which run for two weeks (all times GMT).
    • For example, if a proposal is added at any time on Monday, August 1, 2011, the voting starts immediately and the deadline is one week later on Monday, August 8, at 23:59 GMT.
  4. Every vote should have a strong, sensible reason accompanying it. Agreeing with a previously mentioned reason given by another user is accepted (including "per" votes), but tangential comments, heavy sarcasm, and other misleading or irrelevant quips are just as invalid as providing no reason at all.
  5. Users who feel that certain votes were cast in bad faith or which truly have no merit can address the votes in the comments section. Users can ask a voter to clarify their position, point out mistakes or flaws in their arguments, or call for the outright removal of the vote if it lacks sufficient reasoning. Users may not remove or alter the content of anyone else's votes. Voters can remove or rewrite their own vote(s) at any time, but the final decision to remove another user's vote lies solely with the administrators.
    • Users can also use the comments section to bring up any concerns or mistakes in regards to the proposal itself. In such cases, it's important the proposer addresses any concerns raised as soon as possible. Even if the supporting side might be winning by a wide margin, that should be no reason for such questions to be left unanswered. They may point out any missing details that might have been overlooked by the proposer, so it's a good idea as the proposer to check them frequently to achieve the most accurate outcome possible.
  6. If a user makes a vote and is subsequently blocked for any amount of time, their vote is removed. However, if the block ends before the proposal ends, then the user in question holds the right to re-cast their vote. If a proposer is blocked, their vote is removed and "(banned)" is added next to their name in the "Proposer:" line of the proposal, which runs until its deadline as normal. If the proposal passes, it falls to the supporters of the idea to enact any changes in a timely manner.
  7. No proposal can overturn the decision of a previous proposal that is less than 4 weeks (28 days) old.
  8. Any proposal where none of the options have at least four votes will be extended for another week. If after three extensions, no options have at least four votes, the proposal will be listed as "NO QUORUM." The original proposer then has the option to relist said proposal to generate more discussion.
  9. If a proposal reaches its deadline and there is a tie for first place, then the proposal is extended for another week.
  10. If a proposal reaches its deadline and the first place option is ahead of the second place option by three or more votes, then the first place option must have over 50% support to win. If the margin is only one or two votes, then the first place option must have at least 60% support to win. If the required support threshold is not met, then the proposal is extended for another week.
    • Use the {{proposal check}} tool to automate this calculation; see the template page for usage instructions and examples.
  11. Proposals can only be extended up to three times. If a consensus has not been reached by the fourth deadline, then the proposal fails and can only be re-proposed after four weeks (at the earliest).
  12. All proposals are archived. The original proposer must take action accordingly if the outcome of the proposal dictates it. If it requires the help of an administrator, the proposer can ask for that help.
  13. If the administrators deem a proposal unnecessary or potentially detrimental to the upkeep of the Super Mario Wiki, they have the right to remove it at any time.
  14. Proposals can only be rewritten or canceled by their proposer within the first three days of their creation (six days for talk page proposals). However, proposers can request that their proposal be canceled by an administrator at any time, provided they have a valid reason for it. Please note that canceled proposals must also be archived.
  15. Unless there is major disagreement about whether certain content should be included, there should not be proposals about creating, expanding, rewriting, or otherwise fixing up pages. To organize efforts about improving articles on neglected or completely missing subjects, try setting up a collaboration thread on the forums.
  16. Proposals cannot be made about promotions and demotions. Users can only be promoted and demoted by the will of the administration.
  17. No joke proposals. Proposals are serious wiki matters and should be handled professionally. Joke proposals will be deleted on sight.
  18. Proposals must have a status quo option (e.g. Oppose, Do nothing) unless the status quo itself violates policy.

Basic proposal and support/oppose format

This is an example of what your proposal must look like, if you want it to be acknowledged. If you are inexperienced or unsure how to set up this format, simply copy the following and paste it into the fitting section. Then replace the [subject] - variables with information to customize your proposal, so it says what you wish. If you insert the information, be sure to replace the whole variable including the squared brackets, so "[insert info here]" becomes "This is the inserted information", not "[This is the inserted information]". Proposals presenting multiple alternative courses of action can have more than two voting options, but what each voting section is supporting must be clearly defined. Such options should also be kept to a minimum, and if something comes up in the comments, the proposal can be amended as necessary.

===[insert a title for your proposal here]===
[describe what issue this proposal is about and what changes you think should be made to improve how the wiki handles that issue]

'''Proposer''': {{User|[enter your username here]}}<br>
'''Deadline''': [insert a deadline here, 7 days after the proposal was created (14 for writing guidelines and talk page proposals), at 23:59 GMT, in the format: "September 13, 2024, 23:59 GMT"]

====Support====
#{{User|[enter your username here]}} [make a statement indicating that you support your proposal]

====Oppose====

====Comments====

Users will now be able to vote on your proposal, until the set deadline is reached. Remember, you are a user as well, so you can vote on your own proposal just like the others.

To support, or oppose, just insert "#{{User|[add your username here]}}" at the bottom of the section of your choice. Just don't forget to add a valid reason for your vote behind that tag if you are voting on another user's proposal. If you are voting on your own proposal, you can just say "Per my proposal".

Talk page proposals

Proposals concerning a single page or a limited group of pages are held on the most relevant talk page regarding the matter. Proposals dealing with a large amount of splits, merges, or deletions across the wiki should still be held on this page.

For a list of all settled talk page proposals, see MarioWiki:Proposals/TPP archive and Category:Settled talk page proposals.

Rules

  1. All active talk page proposals must be listed below in chronological order (new proposals go at the bottom) using {{TPP discuss}}. Include a brief description of the proposal while also mentioning any pages affected by it, a link to the talk page housing the discussion, and the deadline. If the proposal involves a page that is not yet made, use {{fake link}} to communicate its title in the description. Linking to pages not directly involved in the talk page proposal is not recommended, as it clutters the list with unnecessary links. Place {{TPP}} under the section's header, and once the proposal is over, replace the template with {{settled TPP}}.
  2. All rules for talk page proposals are the same as mainspace proposals (see the "How to" section above), with the exceptions made by Rules 3 and 4 as follows:
  3. Voting in talk page proposals will be open for two weeks, not one (all times GMT).
    • For example, if a proposal is added at any time on Monday, August 1, 2011, it ends two weeks later on Monday, August 15, 2011, at 23:59 GMT.
  4. The talk page proposal must pertain to the subject page of the talk page it is posted on.
  5. When a talk page proposal passes, it should be removed from this list and included in the list under the "Unimplemented proposals" section until the proposed changes have been enacted.

Changes

Rename the remaining baseball teams to their current titles

One thing is certain: Mario Super Sluggers was first released in Japan almost three years after Mario Superstar Baseball was first released in said country. In this case, I humbly suggest that there's a possibility to move the remaining baseball team pages with their Mario Superstar Baseball name to their current name from Mario Super Sluggers. So far, the current names already in use are the Peach Monarchs and Bowser Monsters.

The following of the remaining pages will be affected by the move:

Once this proposal passes, we'll be able to move the remaining baseball teams with their Mario Superstar Baseball names to their current Mario Super Sluggers titles.
