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. Proposals can not be made about System Operator promotions and demotions. Sysops can only be promoted and demoted by the will of Bureaucrats. There shouldn't be proposals about creating articles on a underrepresented or completely absent subject, unless there is major disagreement about whether the content should be included. To organize efforts about completing articles on missing subjects, try creating a PipeProject. The times are in EDT (UTC -4:00), 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: 03:32, 20 March 2025 (EST) New Features None at the moment. Removals None at the moment. Splits & Merges SM64 Sub Levels Hello wiki users. This will be my first proposal so wish me luck. Anyways, the problem I found was within levels in Super Mario 64. Many levels contain sub levels (not the secret levels). Examples are like the Volcano in Lethal Lava Land and the Pyramid in Shifting Sand Land. Now in the first case, the two locations are in seperate articles but the latter has the Pyramid within the mother level. Now should the articles be split or combined? Deadline: Thursday Feb 26th 17:00 (5pm) Proposer: MC Hammer Bro. (talk) Merge Sub level with main level MC Hammer Bro. (talk) I am the creator and also see my comments Tucayo (talk) Per MC Hammer Bro, as they're part of the levels, it would be like saying the places Mario go through the pipes were another levels Stumpers (talk) - Most of them are not officially named... but what it comes down to is that they are very minor. Just as I wouldn't like to see Toad Town split into a different article for each "screen," (ie Southern Toad Town), I would hope that the information about each part of these worlds would stay on the same page. Zafum (talk) Why in the world are those pages there in the first place? Per MC Hammer Bro. Hyper Guy (talk) I too belive that these sub levels should be on the same page,under a sub heading or something.(No joke intended) Split into separate articles Comments I think the sub articles are too small to be alone and are better off merged as they contain items (stars and coins) vital to completing the levels. It would also lengthen some of the shorter articles and prevent repeated info as the star missions would end up sorta repeated. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by MC Hammer Bro. (talk). Changes None at the moment. Miscellaneous None at the moment.
