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. No proposal can overturn the decision of a previous proposal that is less than sixty (60) days old. 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: 13:33, 19 November 2024 (EST) New Features None at the moment. Removals None at the moment. Splits & Merges Courses based on Courses Hey everyone it's User:MC Hammer Bro. again. This time I've noticed things like Super Smash Bros. stages and Mario Kart courses that share names with courses in games that they are based off of. Mainly I noticed how Article: Tick Tock Clock, course 14 in Super Mario 64 is seperate from Tick Tock Clock (course) but...Rainbow Ride from Super Mario 64 and Rainbow ride (Rainbow cruise) stage from Super Smash Bros. Melee are in the same articel. So my question is show the articles be merged or seperated? Proposer: MC Hammer Bro. (talk) Dedline: March 26, 2009, 17:00 Split 'em up Courses of the same name from different games should stay split because, well, they have their own qualities.Besides, SSB stages are usually a "very rough" version of the real stage. Goldguy (talk) Zafum (talk) - I think it would be crazy to merge these together, because they really are two different things. I mean, wouldn't it be confusing if you clicked rainbow ride on a template trying to get to the ssbm level, but went to the sm64 world instead? Of course you would have it on that page, but not as the main thing, but as a side subject. I say we Split 'em up. Merge 'em together Tucayo (talk) - I say merge, beacuse they're supposed to be the same place Son of Suns (talk) - I would merge article titles that have the same name. As we now seperate history sections by appearances, articles could have section titles for each game the topic appears in. For example, Luigi's Mansion could have a section under the title "Luigi's Mansion," then a section titled "Mario Kart series" with the Luigi's Mansion from Mario Kart, which would then state the differences between the original and the MK versions. Finally, the article could have a "Mario Tennis" section for the mansion's appearance in Mario Power Tennis. Paper Yoshi (talk) - Per SoS. Walkazo (talk) - Per SoS. Super-Yoshi (talk) - Per SoS. Grapes (talk) - Per SoS. MC Hammer Bro. (talk)- Per Sos. It's a great idea and I guess there are more articles with this delemas than I though. Lu!g! (talk).-i think merge for the same reasons as SoS but also some articles are very small and even if we merge all of their realated articles it still wont be nealy as song as say... mario's article so yes MERGE!! DEFINATELY MEEEEERRGE!!! Yoshario (talk) - Per SoS. Yoshi Boo 118 (talk) - Per SoS. Sonic64 (talk) - I think that we should merge all articles on the same topic. However, we should not go as far as merging Rainbow Ride with Rainbow Road, only articles on things with little to no notable differences, like the Mario Circuits. Randoman123456789 (talk) - Per Son of Suns. Comments Honestly, at the moment I am undecided. I would like to hear other opinions first. MC Hammer Bro. (talk) Zafum: It will take you to both things, so i dont see whats wrong Tucayo (talk) Also, links can be directed to sections, instead of the top of the article. So say you specifically want to link to the Luigi's Mansion in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. You simply turn the link into [[Luigi's Mansion#Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Luigi's Mansion]] and you will go straight to the Smash Bros. info, passing by the other sections. -- Son of Suns (talk) Changes None at the moment. Miscellaneous None at the moment.
