Allow Removal of Support/Oppose in Proposals
This is in Featured Articles, so why not Proposals? I've seen silly votes on proposals before.

Proposer: Deadline: December 25, 2013, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) Per proposal

Oppose

 * 1) - The system is fairly different; an oppose in a Proposal doesn't carry the same weight as one in an FA nomination does. No need to do this.
 * 2) Per Tucayo
 * 3) - Per Tucayo. Rule 5 already provides the means to remove bad votes; discussing issues in the comments and giving the admins the freedom to remove truly invalid votes is a much simpler system than some clunky voting setup anyway.
 * 4) No. You're dealing with two completely different sharks here. Proposals are policy changes and the like, Featured Articles are things that we as a community improve upon time to time, solving issues that are brought out via oppose. We vote to remove it because articles are dynamic. Proposals aren't dynamic.
 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Per all, and how would it be decided if an opposition/support is "silly?"
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) Considering an admin is needed regardless of whether this proposed addition passes, this is actually really unnecessary especially considering what Walkazo said. Per all.
 * 9) Per Tucayo, Walkazo, and Baby Luigi.
 * 10) I would want to read people's comments.
 * 11) No need to fix something that is not broken. The admins can remove invalid votes, and users may discuss why a vote may be invalid in the comment section.
 * 12) Per all. See that is the kind of silliness for a proposals. Proposals are suppose to improve the wiki, the writing, and the content. Plenty of users can vote and they can agree or disagree.

Have "Title reference" in the infobox for Mario Party minigames
As you may know, most minigames from the Mario Party series have puns, wordplays or references for their titles, and these are mentioned right on the article. However, the sentence "The name is a pun on..." or similar things are very repetitive, and more like trivia. But instead of asking it to be moved to trivia sections, I think it would be better to have a "Title reference" area in the minigame infobox, like The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode infobox does. Yes, if we do this we cannot write the meaning of the original term, but the Super Mario Wiki is not a place for learning non-Mario or video game-related terms, and it can be easily found on the internet (if it has a Wikipedia article, we can still link it to there).

Support

 * 1) My Proposal.
 * 2) Sounds good.
 * 3) Per all.
 * 4) Per proposal
 * 5) I like it. Per proposal.
 * 6) I don't know if it should be exactly "Name reference". Maybe it should be "Title reference", but hey that's just me. I like this idea, per proposal.
 * 7) Per proposal.

Comments
@Zero777, I replaced "name" with "title". I always used "name", but it really seems that "title" is more correct. 08:05, 23 December 2013 (EST)
