| Color | Outcome |
|---|---|
| green | Passed; change was made and is currently enforced. |
| gray | Passed, but change has not yet been made. |
| yellow | Passed, but is no longer enforced or applicable. |
| brown | Did not reach a consensus; no change was made. |
| orange | Did not achieve quorum; no change was made. |
| red | Failed; no change was made. |
| blue | Failed, but proposed changes are currently enforced. |
| pink | Canceled by the proposer. |
| purple | Canceled by the wiki staff. |
| teal | Canceled and immediately put into effect. |
This is an ongoing project for the benefit of staff and the wiki as a whole. There are a lot of proposals that lead to wiki-wide rulings that haven't been properly written down as policy pages. This page aims to list every single policy-related proposal that we MIGHT have not implemented. The procedure will be:
STEP 1: Copying every proposal per year, trimming all the non-passed ones, then removing all the unrelated ones. YOU ARE HERE.
STEP 2: Comb through our existing policy pages and trim all the ones that are already written down.
STEP 3: Actually writing down new rules and policy based on the remaining proposals.
STEP 2 PROCEDURE:
- Comb through the "Unsorted" list, pick a proposal, and double-check if it has been implemented.
- If it is implemented, change its color to green. If it hasn't, change its color to red.
- Move it to the "Sorted" section, placing it in a corresponding section. If no corresponding section exists, feel free to make one. Sections should ideally be grouped by which page in the MarioWiki namespace they should fall into.
By the time we're done, we should have every proposal sorted by what part of the wiki they affect, and know which ones have been implemented, and which ones hasn't.
