|'''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==
 
===Paper Luigi===
 
It is pretty hard to find all of the data from Luigi's quest from The Thousand-Year Door, on this wiki. So I propose that we merge all the articles that have to do with luigi's quest in the waffle kingdom, into one single article. that way, if someone needs to look it up, they can easily find it.
(I know that this is a pretty short proposal)
 
'''Proposer''': [[User:Dryest bowser|Dryest bowser]]
 
'''Deadline''': July 17, 2008, 17:00
 
====Support====
#[[User:Dryest bowser|Dryest bowser]]- per myself
 
====Oppose====
#{{User|Walkazo}} - See below.
#{{User|Pokemon DP}} - I couldn't - And still cannot - make any sense out of what Dryest Bowser hopes to accomplish. So... Per Walkazo.
#{{User|Luigi3000}}Per DP and Walkazo!
#{{User|MegaMario9910}} - Per all.
#{{User|Glitchman}} Why would you want to merge stuff Luigi's done into an entirely separate article?
 
====Comments====
I don't get this Proposal at all. {{User|Pokemon DP}}
 
Neither do I. I dont think weshould do it cus it is fine as is.{{User|Luigi3000}}
 
{{User|Dryest bowser}} I just want to make a single article for luigi's story in paper mario the thousand year door. it will make the wiki more organized. and we can stop having extremly short articless for all of the ccharacters and places
:As in [[Super Luigi Series|this]]? If not, kindly provide a link to the pages you '''are''' talking about. - {{User|Walkazo}}
 
{{User|Dryest bowser}} I mean articles like [[jerry]],[[Hizza]] and [[torque]]. these articles are kind of minor,and It would be easier to merge them
:They're characters, and all characters get their own articles unless they're carbon copies of each other like the [[Board (Super Mario Galaxy)|Board]]s, or if they're always found together and do nothing significant individually, like [[Ashley and Red]] and [[Kat and Ana]]. The only one you can argue over is Hizza, since his article's a stub; and because he wasn't encountered by the player, meaning he could be considered an implied character and can therefore be relegated to the [[List of Implied Characters]], or converted into a redirect to [[Plumpbelly Village]]. However, neither of those options is what you want for this proposal; what you're asking just isn't feasible, sorry. - {{User|Walkazo}}
 
[[user:Dryest bowser|Dryest bowser]]- ok, that's ok, let's do that, all the characters like hizza,crepe, and even princess eclair should be merged with the implied characters
 
===Merlon===
 
There are two Merlon articles, [[Merlon (Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)|one for Paper Mario and PM:TTYD]], and [[Merlon (Super Paper Mario)|another one for Super Paper Mario.]] This is useless because all 3 Merlons are from the same series and serve similar purposes. That way Merlon would be easier to look up and easier to maintain.
 
'''Proposer''': [[User:StarYoshi1|StarYoshi1]]
 
'''Deadline''': July 21, 2008 17:00
 
====Support====
#[[User:StarYoshi1|StarYoshi1]]-per myself
#[[User:Sonic64|Sonic64]]-Per SY1. Plus, they all have the same name, they're all shamans, and they all have mustaches. EDIT: If they aren't merged, then split the original one to Merlon and Merlon (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door).
#[[User: Booster|Booster]] -- Even if they aren't the ''same'' character, they're all too similar to require seperate articles. At least mention that they may not all be the same character near the top of their page or something.
#{{User|Glitchman}} - Per all.
#Per All. -[[User:Canama|Canama]]
 
====Oppose====
#{{User|Walkazo}} - The Merlon from SPM and PM/PM:TTYD are totally different. The SPM one never acknowledges that he met Mario before; he also lives in another dimension and had to send Tippi to find Mario, meaning he probably hasn't been there himself, etc.
 
====Comments====
{{User|Pikax}} - This is from the [[Merlon (Super Paper Mario)]] article: "Similar to the Merlon in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, this may be a different Merlon." Plus, contrary to what StarYoshi has said, the three Merlons do '''not''' all serve the same purpose. Also, Sonic64, the similarities you have listed are pretty much all of the similarities between the Merlons. It looks to me like someone has either had the idea of splitting all three Merlons into separate articles or merging them all into one article, but only done half the job. Unfortunately, I don't know which it is, which is why I'm not voting on this proposal.
 
{{User|Grandy02}} - If this proposal succeeds, the articles for [[Merlee]] should be merged as well.
:{{User|StarYoshi1}} - No. The Merlees are distinct characters and serve totally different roles from each other. The Merlee articles should not be merged.
::{{User|Pikax}} - It says in the [[Merlon (Super Paper Mario)]] article that he may be a different Merlon to the other two and it says in the other Merlon article that the PM:TTYD Merlon might be a different one to the PM one. Therefore, the Merlons could be as different as the Merlees.


==Changes==
==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]].


===Multi-Appearing Mario Kart Track Pages===
The following of the remaining pages will be affected by the move:
Since it was unanimous to keep tracks with multiple appearances in Mario Kart games merged, I added an info box to each version of the track to keep things less cluttered. I was planning on including a gallery with several screen shots and artwork (if any) in a gallery at the end of the section pertaining to the game's version of the track. [[User:Coincollector|Coincollector]] seems to disagree. He feels that every version of the track should be squished into one info box. [http://www.mariowiki.com/Luigi_Circuit This is how the page is currently set up.] With screenshots cluttered around left and right. If you look at my [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Luigi_Circuit&oldid=415321 version], everything was a bit more organized in my opinion. My version is also not complete, as it was cut off before I could finish it. '''The finished version would still be filled out a bit more.''' However, I think it still illustrates the idea. Coincollector and myself both believe in our versions, so I wanted to hear some opinions on this.
*[[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}}


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:Mario Gamer|Mario Gamer]]- In my opinion the less cluttered, more easily identifiable version is better.
#{{User|GuntherBayBeee}} Per proposal.
#{{User|Starry Parakarry}} - I'm gonna go with Mario Gamer on this one. It's nice, neat, and I think because all of the pictures are there, it really looks bright, colorful, and it looks like effort was put into it to  make it a great article, instead of just slapping an obvious picture of the course on.
#[[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) - Kept forgetting to do this during my ongoing sports project.
#If tracks with the same name are all going to be on one page, at least differentiate them a bit. -- [[User: Booster|Booster]]
#{{User|Jdtendo}} The most recent names should be prioritized.
#{{User|Pikax}} - Much better than when I first looked at it. Now I have nothing against the new design.
#{{User|Mateus 23}} - Per all. I think the new version is more organized than the other one.
#{{User|Bob-omb buddy}} - Multiple info boxes mean more facts can be put in on for each game.
#Per all. [[User:Canama|Canama]]
#{{User|Glitchman}} - Per all.
#[[User:Iceyoshi|Iceyoshi]] Yeah, I think it looks organized. Also, it gets annoying when screenshots are place left and right with the info.
#{{User|P. Trainer}} Per all
#{{User|huntercrunch}} Per MG. It looks a lot cleaner and organized.


====Oppose====
====Oppose====
#[[User:Coincollector|Coincollector]] - My revision, obviously. However, if my proposal does not win, I'll try to make some changes on Gamer's page.
#{{User|King Mario}} - Per Coincollector
#{{User|Mrsdaisyluigi}} - Per All.


====Comments====
====Comments====
{{user|Mario Gamer}} - Just letting Pikax know I updated my version to a more complete version to portray what a more final version of mine would look like.
:{{user|Coincollector}} - Although you version is getting good right now, the article still have the problem with the infoboxes. As I told you, a information box must contain general info, but it seems you put some of specific elements for each racecourse, something that other courses don't have while comparing each other. Then, it's better put these elements in the text instead of putting in an infobox, because don't do it would reduce the importance of reading the text. By the other hand, why the ''Mario Kart DS'' section lacks of an infobox?
::{{user|Mario Gamer}} - The way I divided them was by each "version" of the track. That way if a person is looking for say, if Wifi is playable on the GBA version of Luigi's Circuit in MKDS it's right there. Or if someone wants to know what cup the Wii version of Luigi Circuit is, it's right there, they don't have to go searching through text. I'm not sure why an info box can't be specific, and the reason other courses don't have them is because you stopped me before I could do them all. I didn't add a info box to ''Mario Kart DS'' because there is no new circuit on there. I did leave info explaining that while there was no new one, two did reappear and info can be found in the respective boxes. Let's look at it this way. A Goomba has a different info box for each of it's appearances in a ''Paper Mario'' game. What makes that different from a race course? The information changes each time.
:::{{user|Coincollector}} I was thinking that the reappearances section must be abolished, because the reappearance can be set in the "appearances" section as well - An option nothing special. Aditionally, The Goomba article shows many paper-mario infoboxes, because there are differents templates to use for each game.
::::{{user|Mario Gamer}} - To be fair the layout changes depending on the Mario Kart game as well. Some have WiFi while others list the distance in the box. But what your talking about is merging all of the versions into one big info box. Why not do that on the Goomba? It'd be just as easy.
{{User|Pikax}} - the biggest problem with your version, Mario Gamer, is that the images appear rather staggered.
:c- Could you tell me what you mean by staggered?
::{{User|Pikax}} - If you look at the Super Circuit gallery, it overlaps the info box. In fact, I really think that the galleries for all of them ought to be centered rather than left aligned. Also, why are we numbering our comments?
:::{{user|Mario Gamer}} - I don't see any overlapping what so ever. I see what the gallery goes slightly past the bottom of the info box like [http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/7822/luigicircuitviewit8.jpg this], but I don't see any overlapping. Is this what you're talking about? If not take a picture for me and I'll try to look over it. As for the numbers, they just got added, ignore them or take them off I don't care.
::::[http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=evidencewl6.png Here's what Pikax sees.]
:::::{{user|Mario Gamer}} - Well I think that is a problem with your browser or resolution, not the layout. I don't know of a way to fix that problem since it doesn't occur to me.
{{user|Coincollector}} - For '''Pikax''', the only solution is putting all the screenshots in a gallery, near the bottom of the article, as usually galleries of articles appear. the second solution would be to use the <tt><nowiki><br clear=all></nowiki></tt> between text and the gallery to move the gallery that overlaps the table. Now, respecting to the templates, It would not be a problem to me to make templates, although I should do that and see how it results.
:{{user|Mario Gamer}} - The page already had those <nowiki><br></nowiki> tags set up. I edited it slightly to see if I could fix the problem, but again it doesn't happen on any of the three computers I've viewed it with. Let me know if this solves it Pikax.
::{{User|Pikax}} - Never mind, I've sorted it out.
:::{{User|Pikax}} - '''Argh! The edits I made changed the wrong version!''' Anyway, Mario Gamer, just stick those <tt><nowiki><br clear=all></nowiki></tt> tags before and after all of the galleries and the problem will be solved.
{{user|Mario Gamer}} - I don't mean to sound rude here Coincollector, but what is the point of this proposal if you're just going to be changing the layout later? I think the layout should stay as the people vote on it.
:{{User|Mateus 23}} - You're right, Mario Gamer. We should respect the votes, even if our proposal loses.

===Signature Image Height Restriction===
This is mostly a clarification of a certain rule on the Mario Wiki. [[MarioWiki:Personal_images|Here]], it says that an image in a signature can be no taller than 20 pixels. [[MarioWiki:Signature|Here]], it says that your signature must fit in a 225x35-pixel space. In a discussion I had with [[User:Time Q|Time Q]], he said that there are many users with images taller than 20 pixels and that he was unaware of the 20-pixel-height rule until I pointed it out to him. Therefore, I propose that the 20-pixel-height rule be changed to 35 pixels to match the height of the [[Template:Sigbox|Sigbox]].
 
 
'''Proposer''': [[User:Pikax|Pikax]]
 
'''Deadline''': July 22, 2008 17:00
 
====Support (change maximum image height to 35 pixels)====
#{{User|Pikax}} - As it is, there are a lot of people who have images taller than 20 pixels and if an image is 35 pixels tall, the signature as a whole will still fit in the Sigbox.
#{{user|Time Q}}: As above, it is hard to find any user who has an image in his/her signature and who doesn't break this rule. I think it didn't hurt anyone in the past, and it won't in the future. The only other possible solutions: 1) To enforce this rule, which would affect many users (and to me, personally, the image in [[User:RAP/sig|this]] sig doesn't seem too tall, even if it breaks the rule). 2) To keep the rule, but accept taller images tacitly, which is obviously bad. Neither of these two options seem attractive to me, so I vote for easing the limit.
#{{user|Sonic64}}: Per all.
#{{User|Glitchman}}: Per all.
 
====Oppose (leave it as 20 pixels)====
 
====Comments====
On a different note, can someone explain why the Comments header wasn't being properly formatted until I put this comment in? {{User|Pikax}}
:That always happens with the last line of the page. Just put &nsbp ; in it to make it work next time. - {{User|Cobold}}
 
Time Q: Third option - Do away with sig images altogether and make plain text the norm. That would certainly solve the problem AND reduce overall lag on the site. -- {{user|Ghost Jam}}
:True. I certainly would support that, but I guess the majority wouldn't. {{User|Time Q}}
 
 
Is my signature too big? Check [[User:Dom/sig|here]]. If it is, then I would have to say the restrictions are slightly too harsh, and should allow just a tiny bit of extra sig space. {{User|Dom}}
:It's definitely too wide and I think, even if the height rule were changed to 35 pixels, it'd still be too tall. {{User|Pikax}}
::I just checked it and your sig is 340x58 pixels, which is definitely too big. {{User|Pikax}}
:I replied on your talk page. {{user|Time Q}}
 
 
Could you check if my signature is too big? Please check [[User:Mateus 23/sig|here]]. {{User|Mateus 23}}
:Under current rules, it is too big. If my proposal passes, however, it won't be. {{User|Pikax}}
 
'''No requests to check your sigs here please.''' Ask other users on their talk pages instead. {{user|Time Q}}

Current time:
Friday, September 13th, 16:15 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.
