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 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: 17:56, 2 February 2025 (EDT) New Features No current proposals. Removals Cool User Lists Many users have a section on their userpage listing other community members they like. Often there is unnecessary conflict and even (pardon) stupid flaming when a user removes someone from this list. I say we get rid of all of these sections – there's no need to hurt anyone's feelings over any one of these. True friends – online or offline – can't be simply added or removed from your life on a list. We have a good group dynamic overall in our community, so let's not wreck it. Another option is to rename & rephrase all these lists so they are neutral, such as "User Neighbors I Know", though removing users could still bring questions and trouble. Proposer: Wa TC@Y Deadline: 17:00, 19 September Delete Them All Wa TC@Y – reasons in description above. XzelionETC saying some people are cool and leaving some out is a recipe for bad blood. Bastila Shan You guys are right, Rephrase for Neutrality Keep As Is Comments Changes No current proposals. Merges and Splits Recipes Pages Almost all of the Recipe Articles are short and state: What Game What Effect How to get the item Picture All which would be included in a table. Table shown here, Credit to SpikeKnifeNeedleSword for the design. This would work such as the Badges page. Lets face it they're too minor and too many of them. Proposer: XzelionETC (started by SpikeKnifeNeedleSword (talk)) Deadline: 17:00, 19 September Merge XzelionETC My Reasons are stated above. Bastila Shan Xzelion is right Cobold (talk · contribs) - Though items which can be gotten without cooking, such as the Boo's Sheet, should still have their own article. Keep Separate Comments Miscellaneous List of Mario Kart Sponsor Some day ago, Wayoshi deleted an article about Wario Mall, an organization briefly mentioned on a spot in Mario:Kart DS. The Mario Kart series is FULL of random sponsors. I thought we could create a list of these organization of one page, since they do exist, but aren't major enough to have their own articles. Proposer: Glowsquid Deadline: 17:00, 19 September Create that list Glowsquid XzelionETC Per Glowsquid Bastila Shan What gofer Said Nay Comments
