Remove removals
Removing stuff is bad. As a wiki we should be adding MORE stuff so I propose that we remove removals, therefore from now on we can only make proposals to add more things but no proposals to get rid of things.

Proposer: Deadline: April 8, 2021, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) MORE STUFF
 * 2) That proposal to remove Smash coverage will be the last of its kind.
 * 3) All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. M****Wiki is no different.
 * 4) - more
 * 5) Matter can only be shifted into a different state, thus the concept of removal is false.
 * 6) The Super Wiki is perfect and therefore nothing should ever be removed from it

Oppose

 * 1) - Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Comments
Is this an April Fools proposal or an actual one? 12:03, April 1, 2021 (EDT)
 * What do you think? 12:04, April 1, 2021 (EDT)
 * Well excuse me, someone had to make that kind of comment right? 12:06, April 1, 2021 (EDT)
 * It's real, getting rid of stuff is bad -- 12:10, April 1, 2021 (EDT)

Delete the wiki. Then we'd no longer have anything to remove. 12:09, April 1, 2021 (EDT)
 * NO that's the opposite of what I'm trying to do, read the proposal again please -- 12:10, April 1, 2021 (EDT)

Move animal names from the Donkey Kong Country series to just their normal names
Resuming the proposal that left off here per responses in the comments. As I stated there, these animals are often referred to by just their names e.g. "Rambi", including in the credits of the first Donkey Kong Country, and in instruction manuals.

Proposer: Deadline: April 5, 2021, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) More common and concise.
 * 3) Sounds good to me.
 * 4) Per all.
 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Per all.
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) Per all; also, I've started a similar discussion here.

Oppose

 * 1) Per Alex95's comment on the original proposal. Princess Peach is usually just Peach, but we use the full name anyway, and it's the same with other characters that have full names like the Sonic characters (unless it's more obscure like Yoshi's 'full name'). Readers searching for the shorter title isn't a problem because of redirects. That's my understanding at least.

Comments
@Results May Vary: You need to state your reason for supporting this proposal. 16:18, March 22, 2021 (EDT)

@Hewer: Except "Princess Peach" is used all the time, whereas "Rambi the Rhino" is barely ever used. 16:40, March 22, 2021 (EDT)
 * What about 'Princess Daisy'? That's very rarely used as far as I know, and it's still the title. There's also the Sonic characters who rarely go by their full names within the Mario & Sonic games. 16:46, March 22, 2021 (EDT)
 * I'm not too familiar with the Sonic franchise but I assume their full titles would be used within that franchise. I should also bring up the title of Bowser, who's full title is "King Bowser" used quite often in certain games, yet we still just call him "Bowser" since that's still used more often, even in profiles. Regarding Daisy, I'm also not familiar with basically any game she appears in (see my userpage why), but looking through her profile page you seem to be right about that, most cards and stuff title her as just "Daisy" but that can be a seperate discussion. In comparison to that, "Princess Peach" is used way more often on similar cards, along with in-game profiles, so keeping that title still makes the most sense. Back to the Donkey Kong animals, I haven't seen an instance of the full titles being used outside of a single quote from Cranky Kong, which you can see on Rambi's page. Then there's the Tropical Freeze bosses, and the Legion of Stationery in Paper Mario: The Origami King, they have full titles too, but we still simply use their normal name. 17:27, March 22, 2021 (EDT)

@Keyblade Master: Not to mention the Luigi's Mansion Portrait Ghosts. 19:10, March 28, 2021 (EDT)

Worship Sentry Garage
Man this wiki is almost 16 years old and no one worships Sentry Garage yet? Let's change that

Proposer: Deadline: Maybe

 * 3) Give me pie right now

No sod off

 * 1) that ain't how you spell waluigi, pal

Who should take the red-capped plumber's position?
He is dead. In order to keep this wiki alive, we have to find a replacement for him. I have listed some names which are either associated to him or similar to his name. The 7th, 8th, and 9th options are by User:Waluigi Time. The 10th option is by User:Doc von Schmeltwick.

note from waluigi time: i have edited the proposal to be better with options that aren't bad

Proposer: Deadline: April 8, 2021, 23:59 GMT

Luigi

 * 1) On the condition that he takes the form of his superior alter ego.

Link

 * 1) His name starts with L.

Maria

 * 1) As O'Chunks says

Marie

 * 1) - We just had March 13 this is plausible

Marth

 * 1) Good swordman. Also, both the red-capped plumber and Marth begin with "Mar".

Martin Scorsese

 * 1) He could take the series in a bold cinematic direction. More importantly, his name also starts with Mar.

WAAAAALUIGI

 * 1) Best character in the franchise
 * 2) Per Waluigi Time, if Shigeru Miyamoto won't respect Waluigi, it's our duty to give him the recognition that he deserves.

Steve from Minecraft

 * 1) Another good option

sans.

 * 1) hehe funny skeleton

DR. ROBOTNIK

 * 1) PIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!!!

Leave it

 * 1) We'll be fine without him he was annoying anyway
 * 2) Not my first choice, but if all else fails, a blank space is more appealing than a commie sociopath.
