After a previous proposal of mine that was proposed to create the Raikou and Suicune article, I had taken a look at one of the user's votes and it said that they should be merged. Afterwards, I looked at Pokemon articles, and the ones I found where [[Palkia]], [[Dialga]], [[Cresselia]], and [[Entei]] (I am not sure if there is any left). While making a bigger appearance than a Pokemon in a [[Poke Ball]], it's quite best to have those four articles merged with the [[Pokemon]] article. As from what I'm seeing, Entei should stay, though, as he can be played on as a stage. So, shall we merge all four articles, merge Palkia, Dialga, and Cresselia, or don't merge at all?

====Merge All in Pokemon Article====
 
#{{User|Shrikeswind}} - In all honesty, I don't like the idea of Pokemon taking up a butt-load of space on a wiki dedicated to the Super Mario franchise.  In the cases of Ivysaur, Charizard, Squirtle, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Pichu, Lucario, and Pokemon Trainer, I say they should be split off due to their playability, but all other Pokemon just don't deserve a seperate page because they aren't all playable in a game alongside the Mario characters.  Even playing ON Entei isn't worth a page dedicated to him.  You might as well mention his stage on the Pokemon page, because it's such a miniscule amount of information to say "He appears as a stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee."
#{{User|The Dark Doggy 2}} - Per Shrikeswind, this is ''Mario'' Wiki  not ''Nintendo'' Wiki.
#{{user|Blitzwing}} - Per Shrikeswind.
#{{user|InfectedShroom}} - Per Blitz.
 
====Merge Palkia, Dialga, and Cresselia====
 
#{{User|Palkia47}} - Personally, this is what I see is best. My proposal, so per me.
#{{User|Pikax}} - Palkia, Dialga and Cresselia are all pokemon that make appearances on the Spear Pillar stage in SSBB. This sets them apart from all the other pokemon but not from each other, so this is the best option.
#{{User|Luigi001}} Yea, per all. But how does merging these into the Pokemon article make this a "Nintendo Wiki?" Quite frankly, merging them makes us '''less''' of a so called Nintendo Wiki than we already are.
#{{User|The Gravitator}} Per Palkia. I personally think that Dialga, Palkia, and Cresselia should be merged with the Spear Pillar article.
#{{User|Hemu}} per Pal theese are all Spear pillar pokemon.
#{{User|Stooben Rooben}} - Per Palkia47.
#{{User|Stumpers}} - I'm voting here rather than above simply because I don't know what we'd do with the Majora's Mask article if we rule that Entei (a stage) doesn't deserve an article.
 
====Keep Split====
#They are stage elements affecting gameplay, the policy around here is to give stage elements an article. {{User|Daniel Webster}} 20:08, 5 September 2008 (EDT)
 
====Comments====
 
Once again, may somebody add the deadline for me? I'm not well with it. {{User|Palkia47}}
:Thanks, Time Q. {{User|Palkia47}}
 
Not sure where to vote on this exactly, but here's where I stand:
*All of the playable Pokemon and PT qualify for their own pages.
*The Entei '''stage''' can have an article, provided it talks more about the stage itself than Entei as a Pokemon.
*All Poke Ball/Saffron City/Spear Pillar Pokemon should be merged, though. Stage-specific Pokemon could perhaps get descriptions in their stage articles though. -- [[User: Booster|Booster]]
::I agree with Booster. For the stage-specific Pokémon, what they do on the stages should be included in the stage's article; everything else should be in the [[Pokemon|main list of Pokémon]] only. - {{User|Walkazo}}

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.
  • All 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 using the code {{user|User name}}. Signing with the signature code ~~~(~) is not allowed due to technical issues.

How To

  1. Actions that users feel are appropriate to have community approval first can be added by anyone, but they must have a strong argument.
  2. Users then vote and discuss on the issue during that week. The "deadline" for the proposal is one week from posting at:
    1. Monday to Thursday: 17:00 (5pm)
    2. Friday and Saturday: 20:00 (8pm)
    3. Sunday: 15:00 (3pm)
  3. Every vote should have a reason accompanying it.
  4. 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.
  5. "# " should be added under the last vote of each support/oppose section to show another blank line.
  6. Any proposal that has three votes or less at deadline will automatically be listed as "NO QUORUM." The original proposer then has the option to relist said proposal to generate more discussion.
  7. 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.
  8. There are two topics that cannot be decided on through a proposal: the first is sysop promotions and demotions, which are decided by Bureaucrats. Secondly, no proposals calling for the creation of Banjo, Conker or Sonic series articles are allowed (several proposals supporting them have failed in recent history).

The times are in EDT, and are set so that the user is more likely to be online at those times (after work/school, weekend nights). 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 a minute later, the deadline is a day plus 15 hours (Sunday), as opposed to a day minus 4 hours.

CURRENTLY: 09:31, 14 September 2024 (EDT)

New Features

Poll Proposals

Since the Voting software thingy is working I propose that to keep the Propasals more oganized and easier, we put the voting software thingy instead of using so much room with all that writing of disagree and agree. I mean it's just one click and your done and then you just leave a comment on the bottom. Good idea right?

Make Proposals Easier

Leave it

  1. Walkazo (talk) - If it's not broken, don't fix it. The point of voting is so we can say why we think an idea will or won't work; as it is, votes without valid reasons are removed, so this "thingy" wouldn't work at all.
  2. Stumpers (talk) per Walkazo... took the words from my mouth.
  3. Dom (talk) Per Walkazo ... ("I follow the strongest side...that is all I have ever known." - King Bulblin)
  4. The Gravitator (talk) Per Walkazo.... and King Bulblin 0_o
  5. MC Hammer Bro. (talk)Per Walkazo. Plus if we did that, sorting out fan votes and reverting ideas would be very hard.
  6. Tucayo (talk) Per Walkazo, couldnt have said it any better
  7. Stooben Rooben (talk) Per Walkazo; the system is fine.
  8. Princess Grapes Butterfly (talk) Per Walkazo. There's no problem with the voting system why add something extra if ya don't need it?
  9. Mateus 23 (talk) Per all.
