Pokemon DP: While Wayoshi motives are indeed dubious, he's right. This whole back-up up thing may make soem of those back-uo operators that they could get promoted to Pattroler status, plus, a back-up operator can only be opped when an actual operator is on the chat, which make the point of their existence kind of moot. | Pokemon DP: While Wayoshi motives are indeed dubious, he's right.

Revision as of 21:29, November 25, 2007
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
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. New FeaturesNone at the moment. RemovalsBackup OpsI do not believe many of you are aware, but there has been a practice of "backup-oping" in the chatroom. When it is crowded and people are spamming, or if the only op in the room has to go for awhile, they op their friends or anyone who claims that they will use their power responsibly. I consider this abuse of power & incapability on part of the current ops. If there really is trouble in the chatroom that often, we need more patrollers (at the time of this posting there was 10 users but 0 ops), and the current ops need to take action and not cower in fear! But one of these days chaos will wreak havoc at the hands of one of these "backups". I'm not saying anyone is not trustworthy, this just isn't smart and things need to return to normal. Proposer: Wa TC@Y Only Current Ops
Allow Backups
CommentsIf this proposal fails, I would like a list of official backups current ops can look towards, maybe in Help:Chat, at the very least. Wa TC@Y 12:30, 25 November 2007 (EST) This always confused me (not that I use the chat much), but are wiki sysops supposed to double as chat ops? Also, I can connect to the chat via a IRC client, right? -- Chris 16:02, 25 November 2007 (EST)
There needs to be more active ops. Alphaclaw11
Chris: With an IRC client, go to server irc.darkmyst.org. The channel's #mariowiki, and yes, sysops are gifted with chat op powers at the start, though they can lose them due to abuse (I'm one of those, as you know). If you start coming on whenever you're online, you're have to register a nickname into the Darkmyst server database, then Steve can add you to the auto-op list for #mariowiki.

Pokemon DP: While Wayoshi motives are indeed dubious, he's right. This whole back-up up thing may make soem of those back-uo operators that they could get promoted to Pattroler status, plus, a back-up operator can only be opped when an actual operator is on the chat, which make the point of their existence kind of moot. Glowsquid MarioWiki:Improvement DriveThe improvement drive was created a few time ago, even thought simmilar ideas have been tried and all failed miserably, it seemed like a good idea at time. But now, it's barely edited and the creator (Max2) is blocked from editing forever. As of now, the Improvement drive seem like a waste of database space more than anything, I propose we delete it and state somewhere than project like it were tried and failed, so we won't end up with the idea being brought up again, accpeted, and turn out to be a similar fiasco. Proposer: Glowsquid Get rid of it
Try a comebackCommentsSplits & MergesAshley & Red (Revisit)As per this proposal, the article Ashley and Red must be split into to separate articles. Aside from not a single person who voted on the proposal taking steps to follow through, read the article. There just isn't enough information on the character Red to create anything substantial. It would result in two articles being created, one being virtually unchanged, the other being little more than a stub, resulting in a deletion or a proposal for merging. Until the character of Red starts to play a bigger role, I say we leave well enough alone. Proposer: Ghost Jam Overturn Previous Proposal
Continue with the split
CommentsGlowsquid: Is there enough unposted information to make a Red article at least a full fourth of the size of the current article (not including templates)? If yes, and it can be proven, I'll pull this proposal.
Minor NPC'sA while back, I remember some users that created a "Minor NPC" Template. I don't know if it's still active, but I don't think it should be. Articles about extremly minor NPC's, with conjecture names like Suscpicious Doogan, do not deserve articles. However, we need a way to mention them. What I am proposing is an article describing, in as much detail as possible, the unnamed minor NPC from various mario games (The RPG's mainly, but Super Mario Sunshine had a lot too). This could be one huge archive, or it could be seperated into different sections. Any oppositions? Proposer Ultimatetoad Support

This is a privilege, not a toy, and I definitely feel like it is being abused by many (e.g. "3dejong" to "3Dejong" is a complete waste, as well as switching back to an original username after realizing the name change was not likable, among other things). It is also extra unnecessary work for the bureaucrats to be moving all of your userspace pages with each change you make. Therefore I say we have these limits as an official policy:
If this goes through the policy will be in effect starting asap. Another change will be an official request page at MarioWiki:Changing username (thanks Steve for showing me this example). Proposer: Wa TC@Y Limit Name Changes
No Limit on Renames
CommentsIt seems like it would be less work to just ban name changes and make page moves a sysops only function. -- Chris 21:24, 23 November 2007 (EST) LOL, I remebered when Smiddle told 3D to make major name changes, not just chainging a letter Mr. Guy the GuyMeh name:Lario to Mr. Guy Ghost Jam, I think name changes are OK as a change from the norm, something fresh, just not excessively. Also, I don't understand how the 'move' right restriction applies to this proposal. Wa TC@Y 22:51, 23 November 2007 (EST)
Poll of the weekAt first I found the Quote of the moment interesting but now it's boring, rarely you find a cool quote. I asked Steve to add <poll>, with that we could make a poll for each week and put in the place of quote of the moment! The results could be archived. Proposer: Shrooby Talk SupportOppose
CommentsWhen first I saw Random Quote I also liked but it get boring after a time... It would better something like featured Quote. Shrooby Talk I am not sure what you mean, but we should have a poll like favorite mario character Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach. Like on nintendo's site. Alphaclaw11 MiscellaneousNone currently |
