MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/4
MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive Template Mario InfoREJECTED 6-2 It seems we have a rule that we cannot have Non-Mario info on pages for characters/places/items from other series', like Super Sonic or Zelda. However, we should be able to give at least a short back story of what happened in other games, doing so would make a lot of the articles make a lot more sense to viewers who are not fans of that series. I propose that we should be able to do this, AND include some images from previous Non-Mario games where the Place/Item/Character appeared(This may include some articles for things that would not get an article because they are from another series, even if they are shown/implied in a Mario game).

CommentsMr. Guy, you don't agree because an existing rule says otherwise? Thats the reason this is a proposal, and I don't think thats a valid reason. -_-' ~Uniju(T-C-E)
I see Sonic as an exception to the rule. Sonic and Mario have a non-game rivalry that started way back in 1992. That might be something to place an article about. -- In theory this proposal sounds like a good idea. But as everyonme else has said, this is Super Mario Wiki. We don't need to know what happened in Ocarina of Time to understand Zelda and Links' role in the Marioverse. And as Cobald said, for Super Smash. Bros. characters the trophies are enough to understand some stuff about thier personalities and some aspects of their personal history (Link is brave, Link saves Zelda a lot, etc.). If people want to find out more, the Internet's a big place, and it's not our job to tell people about Zelda or Earthbound or whatever, just Mario. - Walkazo

Add Fan Flash SeriesREJECTED 19-4 I've seen on Wikipedia an Super Mario Bros. Z article. Now it's deleted, but on another language (French for example), that article is still there. I think popular fan flash series, such as Super Mario Bros. Z shall be added. But what do YOU think? Shall we add them or not? Proposer: ADD THEM!!!!
Don't add them...
Videos For ArticlesDO NOT ADD 8-12 I propose we add videos to articles such as Mario Party Mini Games so we can see what the mini games are actually like instead of having to imagine what it would be like. Proposer: Add Them
Don't Add Them
CommentsSuper Yoshi, PLEASE vote yourself! Also, FOR GOODNESS SAKES!! You didn't add any vote sections to this Proposal! Yeesh, anyone would have enough common sense to add the vote sections! My Bloody Valentine No, he gets MY vote! Pokemon DP:Never heard of the Youtube tag? Arend: I think Pokemon DP was talking about the fact that Super Yoshi didn't add any section to vote. Glowsquid
Who was Oppose voter #2? PP Shroobario I think u put ur vote on the wrong 1 King Mario All we have to do is put links on the article to the video. It's so simple everyone can do it. Everyone SHOULD do it if they want to help out.
You could do something like this on the 'Shroom, like a Video of the Issue? I don't care if it says we can only use youtube on user pages! Just change that law. Oh and Shy guy 27 Just because you have slow internet doesn't mean we all have a slow computer! The wiki is not just centered on you you know! Unoffical Music ArticlesKEEP 1-3 We have articles on Music on this Wiki. Quite a few of them are official CD's released by Nintendo, or some Company associated with Nintendo. BUT! It also seems we have articles on music that were NOT put on official CD, aka, In-game songs and themes (an example being List of Songs in Super Smash Bros. Melee, which is listing the music tracks in the actual game, but NOT the music tracks on the Official CD). I propose we remove all In-game songs and themes, and keep only the music articles on official soundtracks that were released by a REAL Company. Proposer: Pokemon DP Remove all In-game songs and themes
Keep Them
CommentsI don't think we should completely get rid of them. There should be a track listing in the game's own article. -- Son of Suns
DP: We just meant that the somgs are conjectural, but still valid. It's a shame we can't get official names (same with all other conjectural information), but the info itself is still canocal and worthy of a place on the wiki. - Walkazo
Pie For Everyone
I was sifting through old files the other day, and I happen to think "What could make this job better?" Well, the obvious answer was pie. So, I'm proposing that we have a selection of delicious pies available to any and all of our editors 24/7. Flavors include apple, cherry, blueberry and freedom (due to monitory constraints, it might be wise to limit ourselves to just those flavors). Further, these pies would be made and hand delivered by Wayoshi, using his, and I quote, "1337 wiki skillz". Think about this for a moment. If out active users had a hot, fresh slice of grandmas straight from the oven pie hand delivered to them while they edit....well, just think of the high quality articles that we would gain. A full, satisfied stomach is a power force. Proposer: Ghost Jam
Delicious Pie
No Pie for You (AKA COMMUNISM)
CommentsI vote for glasses of milk instead of pie... ...er, yes, what exactly are you trying to say? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:41, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
This proposal is perhap the most hilarious thing I ever saw here, good job. Glowsquid What The heck is this supposed to mean? Pie?
heck humor"? Glowsquid Did you ever hear of "Serious threads"? Serious threads are for serious business. Proposals are serious thread. ~Uniju(T-C-E) This is the last time I joke with you people. -_- -- LOL!..... you guys aren't gonna beat up each other are you?
I wish people could have some fun.~PY
Instead of having pie, at the end of every year, there should be rewards for like:
and get like a special userbox for these awards. for instants, there should be a pic of a golden mario trophy, and on the side it says: This user has been the most contributant user in 2007. Didn't we already do the awards thing Master Crash? A couple users won user awards at the annual Mario Wiki awards. And isn't that gonna happen again next year? I guess I am confused, 'cause we have already have done user awards at the end of the year. -- Son of Suns Or maybe I'm wrong....any help? People, there is NOTHING FUNNY about pie. This proposal is SERIOUS BUISNESS. Snack 17:24, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
I know what you mean DP. But that exact thing you just described has been shot down in the past for the potential of increased flaming between users. -- Son of Suns
I cant believe that 11 voters are voting for pie, THIS IS A JOKE! PP
Regardless of what happens, I win. Simply because my proposal is getting Son of Sons all worked up. --
(:@ OH NOEZ!!!
( %@ AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Special MainpageREJECTED 9-1 I think that the main page should be more holday wise like for instance, Halloween is coming and we can put the page full of Halloween colors and some pics created by user to go on the main page. Proposer: King Mario
Put this on the page when holidays are coming upDon't put this on the page when holdays are coming up
CommentsI could see a special main-page for April Fool, but otherwise, that seem pretty useless. Glowsquid
Quotes?ACCEPTED 12-7 Lately i've been searching around the wikis quotes, and have seen quotes like "whupee heeheeheehee!" when thats just a bunch of giberious and also something like AHHH!!! thats just someone yelling! should we get rid of these? Proposer: Master Crash Remove
Keep
CommentsAt the very least, they shouldn't be the lead-in quote. -- Son of Suns I'm conflicted on this one. True, things like "Ahhh!" are a bit redundant in principle. But if you know the context it could have meaning. For instance, in one of the Mario Party games, Peach goes, "Booooo!" Alone that sounds like a pointless, generic utterance, but if you actually hear it, it's hilarious! All in all, I just can't decide which way to vote. - Walkazo
Arend: I don't think you understand, this proposal won't delete ALL quotes, only boring and generic one like "AHHH!!!" or "I'm the best!'. Glowsquid Well, the ones i was sorta talkin about was only stuff like: erto robartello berto, or AHH!!! or all that other junk. A quote is suppose to describe the character/article as best as it can (see Snakes' page). If the random gibberish defines the character best it should stay, but if its just some useless quote cause you couldn't think of something else it should be replaced. Exactly Arend, King Mario, we are not saying to remove ALL quotes. We are only saying to remove worthless quotes, like "AHHHHH!!!". All quotes that actually MEAN something will be kept. Get it? My Bloody Valentine Oh, well I'm still putting it on keep King Mario To Plums: If you don't really see any of them, why vote? "What Other Users Think Of Me Lists"DO NOT REMOVE 11-7 These things are just dumb. We got rid of Cool User Lists, and these are only worse. As you can most likely see, they have caused nothing but bad, and flame wars. Some of these might be OK(Like Xzelion's), but others go over the limit(Like Pokemon DP's, even if they are all MY quotes. <_<). These are mostly just the depressed people trying to make themselves look more hated, anyway, *continues into a long rant about DP that would getting him ****ing banned if he actually said it*. Therefor, I propose that we ban these, as we did with the Cool User Lists(Which NEVER ACTUALLY CAUSED ANYTHING!). Proposer: Uniju :D Remove
Keep
CommentsDP: -_-' Why do YOU ALWAYS THINK THAT MY REASONS ARE SELF-CENTERED? WHY THE H*** CAN'T YOU JUST DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT I'M NOT DOING THINGS FOR ONLY MYSELF!!!!! ~Uniju(T-C-E)
I think we should just change it to "Feedback". There should be no negative things. This wiki is not about pointing out if someone says something rude. Why can't people just ignore it?~PY
That's true, just don't overdo it. We all know about what happens if it happens a lot, even without quotes.~PY When I made this list, I had a purely humoristic goal in mind, I didn't try to make myself look hated and other non-sense. You are about the only one that take these lists seriously, and the only one to star flame war over them. As Zakor1138 said, if you act like an idiot, it's only natural for the other to know it. Glowsquid, and the cool user list DID cause my flame wars, check my archive if you don't believe it. DP, I looked at your user page, and you posted countless censored f-bombs. If Uniju is going to get in trouble for what he posted above, and I posted them on my page wouldn't I be also using the language and the flaming? I thought we could only use those in quotes of Nintendo characters, etc., so how do we justify this? I'm not saying this because I think Uniju's comments are justified, by the way. I'm saying it because I want all of this anger stuff to get gone, quoted or freshly written. Stumpers! 01:22, 26 October 2007 (EDT) i agree with PY. Most are kept for only humor reasons, however, some are just kept to cause bad blood in the case of Pokemon DP. Therefore if they all stay, the bad blood intensifies, and if they leave, then the bad blood evaporates and we can find humor elsewhere.
Uh, this Proposal ended a while ago. : Discuss what goes on the Main PageREFUSED 5-1
Today I finally took a look at the stuff featured on the Main Page, and saw this in "Did You Know?": So, I'm proposing that we have weekly discussions on what kind of stuff makes it to the main page; this includes what's worthy of the news section, what quotes we should use, etc. etc. etc. Proposer: Dodoman Yes to Discussions
No to Discussions
CommentsI'm sure it was just a minor lazy mishap. Everything in MarioWiki:Maintenance/Main Page has worked so far. Wa Paratroopa PageDO NOT MERGE 5-2 I think Paratroopa and Red Paratroopa should be split into two articles because they're different. Who agrees? Proposer: User:Fly_Guy_2 Support Split

CommentsUmm, then why that red Koopa and normle Koopas toghther in one aarticle? Well that's your anser. Also Fly Guy, you've added some useles info o other pages Mr. Guy the Guy
Time Machines PageSPLIT 9-0 The Time Machine page consists of three officially named (one being conjectural) Time Machines, all with significant content to have its own article. Also they effect gameplay (sorta). Proposer: Xzelion (talk) Support Split
Oppose SplitCommentsMy vote stands as long as we can use the Time Machine page to discuss the concept of time machines... and we could do double duty by listing time machines on the article and making it a psudo-disambiguation page. Sound good? Of course, if you want to just make the article disambiguation until someone gets around to writing it, be my guest. Stumpers! 22:45, 22 October 2007 (EDT)
Recently on the MarioWiki...DO NOT REMOVE 8-3 This section is the least updated on the Main Page, as there just isn't enough news to fill it with. Usually, there is only one section of news worth noting, and that always goes on the sitenotice. Deadline: 20:00, Nov. 10 Support
Oppose
CommentsMaybe we should merge it with the Nintendo News section, since the Nintendo News section gets edited the most it, that way it could have six bullets instead of three.
I dont know what i agree with(though i think i disagree, because it is good info), but it isnt getting changes like it says The Shroom Issue VIII has been released, but Issue IX has been released, it should get updated more. Alphaclaw11
PlanetsMERGE 12-0 I propose all planets from Super Mario Galaxy be merged into the respective galaxy article, and the information about the planet made into a subsection of the article. That will allow for fewer articles while still keeping information about the planets. Proposer: User:TheGreatBlockyBoo Support Merge
OpposeCommentsUh, we have images of most. Also, if we do this, we'll have to get info on ALL the planets of the galaxy. That reminds me. Can someone identify the galaxies for the planets without merge templates? TheGreatBlockyBoo 16:48, 6 November 2007 (EST)
Mariofanical So do you support the merge? It is possible that the planet is the galaxy or that the planet is the center or centre of the galaxy, with other smaller planets orbiting. So, anyone planning to get info? TheGreatBlockyBoo 20:09, 8 November 2007 (EST)
I guess I'll do that when the game comes out on November 12, 2007. I've seen many more planets already, from a youtube user called TyndelM
Alright, I'll research all planets for merger and addition. Cosmic Koopa to Mecha KoopaMERGE 7-0 The following reasons are:

Article about "Implied" subject (2nd nomination.)ACCEPTED 7-3 As some of you may know, the wiki have quite a few articles about "Implied" subject, AKA elements that don't actually appear in a game and is only mentioned in passing. In my opinion, most of those implied subject doesnt' deserve to have their own article. This is an example what the average implied article look like: "(Name of the page.) is an organisation/character/item briefly mentioned in (Insert name of game here.) It is unknow what (name of the page) do or if it actually exist, however (Insert ridiculous speculation based on the name of the subject.)" Of course, not every implied articles are like that, but a good chunk of them are. Most of those implied subject are as major as say, a Mario Kart sponsors, while the sponsor's are mere thrownaway background imagery, the implied are (most of the times) thrownaway mention in a dialogue. Heck, the various Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee could be considered more major, since they have backstory info and a representation of what it's talking about, while the average implied is an one-time mention. The goal of this proposal is to merge these articles in various list (More on that later.), this is not actually the first proposal against those Implied articles, the reason the first proposal failed (In my opinion) is because it was sugested that we should merge EVERY implied into one big page instead of various smaller list, most pointed out that this page would have been too big, and I agree. However, in this proposal, the implied wouldn't be merged into one single page, but rather into various smaller list divided by subject (List of Item implied to exist, List of organisation implied to exist and so on.). Of course, not every implied would be merged, some such as the Pixl Queen and Scarlette actually have efect of the plot, and thus, still would have their own articles. Minor implied deseve a mention, but not a full-blown articles, if we allow guys like Old Man Skoo to have an article, we should also create seperate pages for every Mario Kart sponsor out there. Proposer: Glowsquid Merge
Oppose Merge
CommentsStumper: Uh.... To make it short, let's say that every implied that is mentioned more than once (Like Princess Eclair) or have effect on the plot (Like Scarlette) could still have their own articles. Only random one-time mention (Like Old Man Skoo) should get merged. Glowsquid
Rename FunctionACCEPTED 23-2 I am tired of seeing users have name changes at will. 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 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. -- LOL, I remebered when Smiddle told 3D to make major name changes, not just chainging a letter Mr. Guy the 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
HyperShroom: Huh? To change your name you need to have a 'Crat do it. And a 'Crat needs to move the user page, user talk page, and user sub pages. ~Uniju(T-C-E) Hypertoad: As Uniju said, only Bureaucrats can rename users . While most name change are quickly done, I remmember there was an user who asked for a name change and had a whooping total of 19 userpages and sub-pages, all of which needed to be moved independantly. And also, the older name of all of these pages had to be redirected to the newer name so there wouldn't be uneeded red link on older pages. I think this proposal was created so there wouldn't be less of this kind of work for the Bureaucrats. Blitzwing Ashley & Red (Revisit)ACCEPTED 7-0
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.
