===Lessen Crossover Coverage=== | |||
<span style="color:gray;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:150%">DELETED BY PROPOSER</span> | |||
According to the current [[MarioWiki:Coverage|Coverage rule]], crossover games like Super Smash Bros. and Mario & Sonic have full coverage. However, this means that we have to cover all of the content from Super Smash Bros., which can cause us to compete with our NIWA Affiliate Smash Wiki. Look at all the Smash content. Shouldn't we focus more on Mario? So I have a proposal: | |||
*Games that are 0%-5% Mario: '''CAMEO''' - No coverage except for on a list of references. | |||
*5%-20% Mario: '''GUEST''' - just a page on the game and mentions on Mario pages. | |||
*20%-70% Mario: '''CROSSOVER''' - All playable characters, original content and Mario based content get pages. However, content from other franchises other than playable characters will not be covered. | |||
*70%-100% Mario: '''MARIO GAME''' Everything in the game will be covered, no matter what. | |||

====Support==== | |||
#{{User|SeanWheeler}} As proposer. | |||
====Oppose==== | |||
#{{User|Time Turner}} Regardless of anyone's opinion on the matter, your method of deciding whether or not a game should be covered is really off. How is it decided which games have "5%" Mario or "25%" Mario and so on and so forth? It's incredibly vague and I'm not comfortable with it. | |||
#{{User|Walkazo}} - Even if the proposal was suggesting something that was actually usable, the current coverage policy is fine. | |||
#{{User|Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness}} Umm what? Do we cover all 719 species of Pokémon? Do we cover all of Pikachu's apparences in the trading card game, anime, and whatnot? Do we cover all of Kirby's copy abilities in his games? No. All we cover are Smash Bros. apparences. I don't really get this proposal. | |||
#{{User|Toadbrigade5}} Per Time Turner. | |||
#{{User|Marshal Dan Troop}} Our coverage policy is fine and all the NIWA wikis know about it so it's not a problem. | |||
#{{User|Pseudo-dino}} Per Time Turner and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. | |||
#{{User|Baby Luigi}} Per all. Every single time anyone's asked to reduce coverage, it always gets shot down, this would be no exception. For a good reason too. I see no good reason to reduce our coverage and I feel it's counterproductive to our goal. We even link to SmashWiki in the end of Smash pages anyway so.... | |||
#{{User|Ghost Jam}} Per all. The current policy was written with the goal of making the process as inclusive as possible while not going overboard or otherwise becoming too fiddly. I'm not in favor of anything outside of a justified tweak here or there, this proposal goes will beyond that. | |||
#{{User|LudwigVon}} Per all. | |||
#{{User|Pyro Guy}} Per Pokémon XD and Time Turner. | |||
#{{User|SuperYoshiBros}} Per all. | |||
#{{User|Bazooka Mario}} '''Strong Oppose'''. As stated in [http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive_41#Split_all_Smash_Bros._special_moves_into_separate_articles this proposal]: ''"We cover Smash Bros. fully. We should cover all special moves and Final Smashes, especially since all are major aspects of Smash Bros. that are given a name. Hell, Air Dodge, Shield, and Footstool Jump all have articles.[...] Also, for those who think we're becoming SmashWiki 2.0, actually, that's a slippery slope argument. SmashWiki talks about strategies, character viability, move viability, combo potential, DACUS, wave-dashing, SHFFL, famous competitive players, famous tourneys, palette swaps, Sakurai angles, and a ton other Smash Bros. jargon and nitty bitty mechanics we won't even breahte<sup>[sic]</sup> on.[...]"''. Finally, the percentage points defined in the proposal is ridiculous, as if there is a hard-defined method to tell whenever a game is a crossover or guest appearances or cameo and each "element" is treated equally (for example, using these percentage points, Mario being a playable character in a 100-character roster in a Dynasty Warriors game would be deemed less significant than a Mario costume in a Marvel vs. Capcom game of 10 characters, each getting one alternate costume). | |||
#{{User|Magikrazy}} What is this? The way we do it is fine. We're not competing with SmashWiki, and your calculation system makes no sense. Could you please give an example in the comments? What percent is Super Smash Bros Melee? | |||
====Revise another way==== | |||
====Comments==== | |||
So how do you suggest those percentages are calculated..? --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 23:22, 22 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
:Also Smash Wiki's coverage is far more technical and fandom-heavy (pages on tournaments, tourney players, memes, using the technically unofficial name "Smash 4" as the default way to refer to the latest installment... etc), so the "we're competing with them!" argument doesn't hold much water. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 23:25, 22 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
:Just count how much Mario content is in the game. For a Super Smash Bros. game, count the fighters, stages, music, items, etc. marked with mushrooms, eggs, DKs and Ws and count the total content in the game. Make a fraction with the Mario points on top and the total points on the bottom and divide, and convert the decimal into a fraction. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 23:32, 22 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
::are you fucking serious --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 23:38, 22 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
:::And just because they have fandom-based articles doesn't justify us having a lot of content they have. Do we really need all the [[Pokémon]]? That's something for Bulbapedia. And I think on the codec conversations and Palutena's guidence, we should just do the conversations about the Mario characters. And the list of trophies should only include the Mario, DK, Wario and Yoshi trophies. Well, at least we'll still have the playable Link, Samus and Pikachu. But I don't think we'll need Ridley, Chansey or Tingle.[[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 23:47, 22 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
::::Oh yeah, I'm serious. But if you don't want to do calculations, you can just estimate. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 23:47, 22 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
:::::We don't have "all the Pokémon" though, we have a small table that briefly describes each Poké Ball Pokémon in the context of its Smash appearance alone, and short pages for the Pokémon fighters in Smash that give a ''very'' brief description of the Pokémon's concept, and then a brief description of its appearance in Smash, nothing more. The article does not describe the concepts of the individual Pokémon in any detail at all as Bulbapedia would (and does), nor does it describe or even mention Pokémon that appear outside of Smash. [[User:Pseudo-dino|Pseudo-dino]] ([[User talk:Pseudo-dino|talk]]) 03:17, 23 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
@SeanWheeler, SmashWiki also is very technical about the Smash content. They have tier lists, tourneys, professional smash players, project m, advanced techniques, how viable a character is...etc. If like to learn what wave-dashing, star kos, wall of pains, etc. are, then SmashWiki covers it very well. We don't go that far. We cover like only the official thingamabobs. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 03:37, 23 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
:Well, when I said "all the Pokémon" I wasn't talking about all the Pokémon in the National Dex. I mean all the Poké Ball Pokémon like [[Chansey]], [[Blastoise]] and [[Fletchling]]. Do we seriously need these Pokémon? [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 11:26, 23 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
::It's better to have individual articles on them rather than keeping them stuffed all into one page and ''only'' that page (along with trophy information). Much akin to putting all Yoshi Eggs in one basket <s>and then eating them, balut style</s>. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 17:43, 23 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
"Shouldn't we focus more on Mario?" is a moot point. 5 Smash Bros. games and 9 Mario & Sonic games out of the hundreds of other pure Mario games. --{{User:SuperYoshiBros/sig}} 16:06, 23 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
:And that's only if you count the games that have both a handheld and console version, which have a lot of the same content anyway. --{{User:SuperYoshiBros/sig}} 16:07, 23 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
::Okay, fine. Could we end this early? I actually like our Smash articles anyway. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 21:20, 23 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
:::Okay, you can archive it and mark it as deleted by proposer. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 21:29, 23 June 2015 (EDT) | |||

Revision as of 11:46, June 24, 2015
Change the way rule number 9 of the proposal system worksDELETED BY PROPOSER So, another proposal to remove this rule was made that was just now vetoed by an administrator. The idea in this proposal is not to remove the rule but instead change the way it works to make it more fair and less objectionable. So as of now, this rule is in effect:
I think that the rule could use a few changes that could keep much of its original intent intact while making it more accurate towards what the majority of users want. So I propose we replace that rule with this new rule:
I think the changed rule would be better than both the original rule and just flat out deleting the rule for the following reasons:
Proposer: Kart Player 2011 (talk) Support
Oppose
CommentsWait, in proposals with three choices or more, if their deadlines are extended, do you propose removing the option with the least amount of votes? That sounds so convoluted. Even the wording in that is hard to read. The bolded part is one sentence! Anyhow, if there are two change options clashing and rivaling each other in terms of votes, proceeding with one change or the other will displease a sizeable group and that's not democratic. Having the proposal fail after breaking through several extended deadlines definitely means "no consensus has been reached, so no changes will be made". It's a failsafe measure at this point, and it gives the opportunity for further discussion and refining the proposal further. Not to mention, it wears on people's patience to see a proposal get extended, like, three times, so casting it off is good, elaborated previously. In super drawn-out proposals, it's safer to kill them eventually than to take questionable and controversial action even if the outcome is dead tied. It's the reason FAs have a time limit, too. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 14:17, 21 June 2015 (EDT) @Ghost Jam: I tried my best to remove the objectionable pieces of the other proposal that caused it to be vetoed and take into consideration things said by Walkazo in my discussion with her in the other proposal to make it not fall into any objections that she made there. @Bazooka Mario, I specifically said in the proposal that the do nothing option would stay to the final two no matter what and before then, only options suggesting change could be removed so if there is a case of two change options clashing and rivaling each other in terms of votes, and people voting for one of the changes would rather have nothing done, they will always have the chance to just move their votes towards doing nothing. - Kart Player 2011 (talk) @Walkazo, just veto it now then in this case to get it over with. I tried my best to fix the problems that got the other proposal vetoed but I guess in this case, I didn't do enough so I guess you should just veto this proposal now. I'll talk about it more with you in user talk page if I feel the need to. I'm sorry for my mistake. - Kart Player 2011 (talk)
