MarioWiki:Proposals

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 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. Any past proposals are 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 with the signature code ~~~(~). How To Actions that sysops or users feel are appropriate to have community approval first can be added by anyone, but they must have a strong argument. 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) At any time a vote may be rejected if at least three active users believe the vote truly has strong reasons supporting it. Every vote should have a reason accompanying it. "# " should be added under the last vote of each support/oppose section to show another blank line. At the deadline, the validity of each vote and the discussion is reviewed by the community. A sysop or user calls the result of the proposal and takes action(s) as decided if necessary, and archives the proposal. 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). 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. CURRENTLY: 08:05, 19 January 2025 (EDT) New Features None currently Removals None currently Changes Moving Koopa Paratroopa The flying Koopas are currently under the article name of "Koopa Paratroopa", their official name from Super Mario Bros. However, I believe that we should use a name from more recent games, such as Paratroopa or Parakoopa as the article name. Proposer: Cobold (talk · contribs) 09:16, 10 August 2007 (EDT) Due Date: August 17th, 20:00 EDT Move to Paratroopa Cobold (talk · contribs) - It's their most-commonly used name. Move to Parakoopa Max2 (talk) Last time I remember, they were called Parakoopa in about... 5 games. Besides, it's more well known. Leave at Koopa Paratroopa Comments Splits One of the most common proposals, related to splitting one article into multiple ones. Merges One of the most common proposals, related to combining articles into one. Merge Minor Articles in Category:Implied into One List Page Most of the implied article are just too stubish and can't really be improved.And really, making an article on an organization that was briefly mentioned in some game just look silly. I thought we could merge all those article into one big page. Of course, some such as Pixl Queen, Waffle Kingdom and Scarlette could remain as article because of the importance thgey have in their respective game. Only Minor one (Such as Old Man Skoo.) should be merged. Proposer: Gofer 17:38, 4 August 2007 (EDT) Due Date: August 11th, 17:00 EDT Support Merge Oppose Merge Wa TC@Y – each article has potential to become at least decent. "List of Implied Items in the Marioverse" could become large in time. Plumber 14:25, 4 August 2007 (EDT) as per Xzelion and the first sentence of Wayoshi. XzelionETC Basically Wayo sums it up ;) My Bloody Valentine Wayoshi already said it. Wayoshi to the rescue again :P Stumpers!That would be way too confusing... Just visualizing it makes me dizzy, no offense. @_@ Max2 (talk) Theres a word for this: WIKIPEDIA STANDERDS. If we use those, we'll have one big "List of Mario Series Terms and People" in no time. Comments This is a bad idea, one that page would be super long that no-one could edit it w/o major lag, 2. Most pages do have enough info, but some could use work. XzelionETC Eerrrrpphh... After reading some articles, I saw most of them are well written and ahvwe a good size, Can I withdraw this? Scorponok As far as I know, the proposer holds the responsibility for the proposal, so I think you can. If not, your edit can always be undone, so it won't be a problem! Stumpers!
