Writing Guidelines
None at the moment.

Semi-protect galleries of high traffic pages
If popular pages such as Mario and Yoshi that are often targets for vandalism are protected, then shouldn't their galleries be as well? Because I've seen them get vandalized enough times and besides, anons/new users can't upload images.

Proposer: Deadline: January 10, 2014, 23:59 GMT

Protect

 * 1) Per what I said.
 * 2) Per Proposal.
 * 3) That last part makes sense.
 * 4) Well, I'm over those mixed feelings, as I can't really see any long-term downsides to going through with this.

Keep as is

 * 1) what if there is a typo and an anon sees it and wants to fix it?
 * 2) Per the reasons the templates weren't semi-protected, they're not a common target for vandals so semi-protection is probably likely to hurt in the long run.
 * 3) Per Yoshi876.

Comments
Mixed feelings on this. I haven't seen many galleries targeted by persistent vandals (though that's just personal experience speaking), and in the event such vandalism exists (which it likely does) it's far less frequent then 'attacks' targeting the main page itself. @WooftheChomp, admirable as that sentiment is, a typo is just that: a minor misspelling that someone is due to notice at some point and fix. If the anon's so intent on having it fixed, they could just inform another user or something (since I'm assuming semi-protection also prevents new and unconfirmed users editing the page).

 * @Yoshi876 Yeah, but what about the reason the While those are a good source, they've also been under heavy vandalism. While I'm not saying that every popular page should be protected to stop vandals, at least the really important ones should.
 * Whilst yes they were protected to stop vandalism, it's a bit harder to decide whether certain edits on a glitch page are bad. I could go along and write a perfectly detailed glitch, but make it up. If someone tries it you can just say they didn't do it correctly.

Removals
None at the moment.

Change Record Book References section on the page "List of Mario References in Publications" to a page called List of Mario-related world records
Mentions from World Record books would be contained on that page rather than the other one.

Proposer: Deadline: January 3, 2014, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) The Record Book Section will get too long. There are enough Mario-related World Records out there to make a full page.

Oppose

 * 1) I don't see the point in this. Mario-related records will be few and wide which will make-up for a very small article that is not worth the time and effort of the SMW community. Records are kept in a world record book which is technically publication.
 * 2) Per Zero.
 * 3) Per Zero777.
 * 4) Per Zero777.
 * 5) Per 0.

Comments
You forgot to put yourself in support John G.
 * It is optional, I told him about this anyway.
 * Pretty sure he's fully aware he could do that.
 * Actually, I did not know. Thanks for telling me.
 * By the way, If any of you guys think it's a good idea, please support.
