MarioWiki:Proposals

 http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/9/9/17/f_propcopym_9045f2d.png 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
 * 1) Actions that users feel are appropriate to have community approval first can be added by anyone, but they must have a strong argument.
 * 2) Users then vote and discuss on the issue during that week. The "deadline" for the proposal is one week from posting at:
 * 3) Monday to Thursday: 17:00 (5pm)
 * 4) Friday and Saturday: 20:00 (8pm)
 * 5) Sunday: 15:00 (3pm)
 * 6) Every vote should have a reason accompanying it.
 * 7) 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.
 * 8) " # " should be added under the last vote of each support/oppose section to show another blank line.
 * 9) At the deadline, the validity of each vote and the discussion is reviewed by the community.
 * 10) Any proposal that has three votes or less at deadline will automatically be listed as 'NO QUORUM'
 * 11) A 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.

New Features
None at the moment.

Recently on the MarioWiki...
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

21:33, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

Support

 * 21:33, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
 * 1) I agree.Its rarely updated and it says daisy and waluigi ar now featured articles when they have been FA's for ages

Oppose

 * 1) I'd like to see more use from that section.  Also, we don't talk about sysops and other promotions on the notice bar.  New Pipe Projects, new nominations for F.A.'s, and all of that sort of stuff could be going up there, but it's not right now.  I think maybe what we need is more freedom to edit it.

Comments
Maybe 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.

Planets
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.

Support Merge

 * 1) - Per TheGreatBlockyBoo.
 * 2) Per All
 * 3) Absolutely.  There aren't names for most of those planets, and Galaxies will just be like Categories if we can't write about their planets on them.
 * 4) Walkazo - Per All.
 * 5) - Per all and nice idea by the way.
 * 1) - Per all and nice idea by the way.

Cosmic Koopa to Mecha Koopa
The following reasons are: therefore, the article must merge with Mecha Koopa
 * 1) It shows an image that is found also in Mecha Koopa article.
 * 2) Its name is conjectural.

Proposer: Deadline: 11 November 2007, 15:00

Support

 * 1) &euro;zlo
 * 2) She's always right! and this makes alot of sense.
 * 3) I agree with Coincollector, they should be merged.
 * 4) Walkazo - The picture from the Mecha Koopa article convinced me "Cosmic Koopas" aren't a seperate species like their article claims. So yeah, definitely merge them (and by "merge", I mean scrap the conjectural article).
 * CC, great find. I have a feeling this is only one of many articles to get merged.  I'd like to see an end to the whole "cosmic" fad actually.

Comment

 * Compare both images, the left it's found in Mecha Koopa article, and the right from Cosmic Koopa article.
