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. 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 Actions that 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) 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. "# " 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 "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. 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: 09:09, 30 August 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? Proposer: KingYoshi64 (talk) Deadline: September 12, 2008, 20:00 Make Proposals Easier Leave it 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. Stumpers (talk) per Walkazo... took the words from my mouth. Dom (talk) Per Walkazo ... ("I follow the strongest side...that is all I have ever known." - King Bulblin) The Gravitator (talk) Per Walkazo.... and King Bulblin 0_o MC Hammer Bro. (talk)Per Walkazo. Plus if we did that, sorting out fan votes and reverting ideas would be very hard. Tucayo (talk) Per Walkazo, couldnt have said it any better Stooben Rooben (talk) Per Walkazo; the system is fine. Princess Grapes Butterfly (talk) Per Walkazo. There's no problem with the voting system why add something extra if ya don't need it? Mateus 23 (talk) Per all. Fantastic Mr. L (talk) I think the system is fine, per Princess Grapes Butterfly. The one click voting would be nice, but what's the problem with our current voting system? Luigi001 (talk) Comments Removals None at the moment. Splits & Merges Waffle Kingdom Locations Well, since the Waffle Kingdom is only spoken of in the Super Luigi Series novels briefly, do we really need an article for every location mentioned? It seems a bit useless to make an entire article on something we've never seen that also doesn't play a significant role in any of the games or other incarnations of the Mario series. So, it seems like a good idea to merge all of the locations with their own section on an article titled "Waffle Kingdom Locations" instead of a whole category. Proposer: Crystal Batamon (talk) Deadline: September 19, 2008, 20:00 Support Fantastic Mr. L (talk) I agree, as much as I love the Waffle Kingdom there really isn't alot of information since Luigi is amazingly vague when it comes to details.Most of the articles have one or two paragraphs. If on the off chance a game or something is ever made with more info, maybe they should be split again.In the mean time, merged. Oppose Comments You might want to vote for your own proposal, Crystal Batamon. Time Q (talk) It was also mentioned by Luigi in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Sonic64 (talk) Actually, current Wiki policy states that any character, organization, location, entertainment, etc. that does not physically appear should be merged with one of the "List of Implied ___s" page. For example, the Waffle Kingdom would be on "List of Implied Locations." So, if you just want the articles to be merged into that, please remove your proposal. If you feel it would be more applicable to create a separate article for the Waffle Kingdom locations because they are more fleshed out than other Implied Locations, keep your proposal here. Stumpers (talk) Changes None at the moment. Miscellaneous None at the moment.
