Writing Guidelines
None at the moment.

Mobile View
Quite a while ago the following proposal was made on the MarioWiki, back then it was denied by most people. Right now I'm proposing a very smiliar but yet different idea. While I'm not suggesting an iPhone app (that was in the original proposal.) I however do suggest to make a mobile version of the site. Using the MobileFrontend extension it is possible to make a mobile version of the wiki. For an example of how it would look like: Go to Mobile Wikipedia if you want to see how it looks. Proposer: Deadline: March 17, 2014, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) It makes quickly editing a section easily, while not necessarily creating an entire app.
 * 2) Per ExPower.
 * 3) This would be great. It would save loading times and look nice. And besides, there is no reason to oppose. We don't have to do the work, yet there would still be many benefits.

Oppose

 * 1) Sorry, but that's very uneeded. You can still look up the MarioWiki on the Internet.
 * 2) I used MarioWiki in my phone, and aside from the stupid ads (due to lack of adblocker) and long loading times for, like, Mario, I don't think it's REALLY necessary. It's nice, but Wikipedia has a mobile version because it's so much more visited than MarioWiki, which appeals to a more niche audience. I don't think it's worth it to go through the pains to create a mobile version of this wiki. Whatever Randombob-omb is saying is silly, though.
 * 3) I am using right now, and I always use it on my smartphone. It is hard to load long pages, but it loads. The only problem for me is the edit box: It glitch all times that passes 100 lines. After it, I can't edit.
 * 4) Per all, especially Mario.
 * 5) As the site policy is currently written, a passed proposal basically becomes a mini-policy and must be followed. I'm voting against this because I'm not keen on forcing users into developing apps they may or may not have any interest in. There is also the issue of having someone on hand with app development experience and the overall dubious need for such a thing. All that said, if you are offering to develop this thing yourself and are basically asking for permission, I'd advise you to contact Steve or a member of staff directly.
 * 6) Per Ghost Jam.

@Mario: SILLY!??????!!!! I'm very certain that it's uneeded, do you call that silly!?.
 * Your only statement to back up your opinion is, "You can still look up the MarioWiki on the Internet."
 * Yeah, lol, you need the internet to access MarioWiki :P
 * Reading the oppositions I understand that it seems like a lot of work, trust me, all you have to do is to change a few lines in a file and upload a folder, that's it (I've done it on my own wiki)
 * Does it cost any more? This kind of stuff, I think you should discuss with Steve, because I have no knowledge how this works.
 * Nope that's it (I would do it myself but I don't have ftp access (and let's leave it at that too.)) And who is Steve?
 * Steve (aka User:Porplemontage) is the proprietor of this wiki. You should probably talk to him about the technical aspect of this proposal.
 * How, should I ask on his User Page or...?
 * Best to talk to him on his user talk page.
 * Only if the proposal passses right?
 * It's up to you, but I'd say that it'd be better to work out all of the details before the proposal passes.
 * So this proposal is unnecessary right?
 * Well... even if you get the A-OK from Steve, that doesn't necessarily mean that that's what the community wants.
 * Ok so I will just have to wait and see...

Removals
None at the moment.

Changes
None at the moment.

Create an article about debug menus
Even if we aren't SmashWiki, this should still be added. Besides, most of the Mario Party games have this.

Proposer: Deadline: March 21, 2014, 23:59 GMT.

Support

 * 1) pɛʀ pʀoposα∟
 * 2) Per Proposal.

Oppose

 * 1) A sub-section in the Beta elements page should be better.
 * 2) Debug menus are pre-release stuff, that means they go on beta elements article.
 * 3) A separate page is unnecessary, every pre-release, unused stuff go on the list of beta elements. Per all
 * 4) Generally, per all. Broadly, SmashWiki is an affiliate of ours via NIWA, we could always either A. link off to their version of the article or B. see if SmashWiki would agree to an abridged version of that article to be added to our beta elements page, with a link back to them for the full story. Flow of information and all that.

TVTrash, please explain your support, or just say Per Proposal.
 * Why? On one of Glowsquid's proposals, he didn't put anything for his support.
 * TVTrash already explained his reason for the support, in the proposal he just made. 21:39, 14 March 2014 (EDT)
 * Ughh.... 21:41, 14 March 2014 (EDT)
 * If you are the proposer, you probably don't need a reason. 'cause the reason is already in your proposal.-- 04:21, 15 March 2014 (EDT)
