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 using the code. Signing with the signature code (~) is not allowed due to technical issues.

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) Any proposal that has three votes or less at deadline will automatically be listed as "NO QUORUM." The original proposer then has the option to relist said proposal to generate more discussion.
 * 10) All proposals are archived. The original proposer must take action accordingly if the outcome of the proposal dictates it. If it requires the help of a sysop, the proposer can ask for that help.
 * 11) There are two topics that cannot be decided on through a proposal: the first is sysop promotions and demotions, which are decided by Bureaucrats. Secondly, no proposals calling for the creation of Banjo, Conker or Sonic series articles are allowed (several proposals supporting them have failed in recent history).

The times are in EDT, and are set so that the user is more likely to be online at those times (after work/school, weekend nights). 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 a minute later, the deadline is a day plus 15 hours (Sunday), as opposed to a day minus 4 hours.

CURRENTLY: , 28 2024 (EDT)

New Features
''None at the moment.

Trouble Center

 * Too sporadically used: basically on average once a month
 * Most of the uses are incorrect – user or syntax related instead of articles
 * The troubles are rarely solved
 * Users usually ask directly on user talk and get a faster solution that way, because watchlist notification < user talk notification

Put it to Rest

 * 1) – hope the bulleted list helps convince others
 * 2) - I've been thinking about this for a long time. I hardly see anyone ever use it, and when they do, their trouble(s) are never answered. Most people ask a Sysop or experienced member on his/her talk page more commonly, as Wayoshi said. People are more apt to get a fast response that way, than with a dead trouble center. I for one never used it; I always asked someone else for help, as many others have done with me.
 * 3) Per all
 * 4) - Per St00by. Holy crap I also agree with Wayoshi :O (for the first time :O)
 * 5) Per all. It hasn't been used in months.
 * Per Wayo. We've had this before, and decided to try a comeback. There was no comeback, so I think it's finally time to bury it.
 * 1) - Its useless. As already stated, its hardly used anymore; and when any user puts a question up; it's hardly answered.
 * 2) Per all, it definetly is easier to use user talk.

Merge Goomba with bellhop goomba
I feel we should merge bellhop goombas with regular goombas Because they are just goombas in bellhop suits also They are the same thing just differnt looks.

Proposer: Deadline: October 11, 2008, 20:00

Merge

 * 1) Per what i said.
 * 2) Per Iggy. Theres not really any basic proof they're any different, so merge it is.

Keep Separate

 * No, they are considered a sub-species of Goomba's.
 * 1) - Per S-Y. Plus, they are officially named.
 * 2) Per S-Y! No just no. There not Goomba there a sub-species like S-Y said.
 * 3) - Per S-Y. They're different from regular Goombas and are a different species (but, rather called "sub-species"; as said by PGB above). While they act like a Goomba; and attack like a Goomba; they are not the regular Goomba.
 * 4) - Per all. Plus, this would requie merging Rhinestone Goombas, and perhaps other obscure Hotel Mario sub-species that have slipped my mind...
 * 5) - I'm not sure why they should be merged and not Pirate Goombas, so it makes me worried that this is either about limiting Hotel Mario content or will lead to limiting content rather than merging alternately dressed Goombas.

Comments
Think about it guys we merged Pumpkin Heads with goombas and there way differnt so we should merge bellhop goombas because they are not any differnt from regular goombas. -
 * Pumpkin heads weren't officially-named though.
 * Per St00by. If it isn't official, then they don't have an article about it. And just a tip, try to outline your proposal with more details instead of just two simple sentences. For Example, St00by's proposal has many details and whatnot in it.

As far as I know, you can't remove the "Protection" of the Bellhop Goombas, unlike the Pumpkin head. Just throwing that out.
 * Oh well that was kinda embarrasing, not signing my comment just like that :o. And Per Blitz
 * Hey Grapes, whos this Y-S guy? he sounds pretty neat. I wanna meet him :D
 * ROFL...

Oh crud I didn't notice that till nao. (ROFL...LOL) XD Sry 'bout that I'll fix it.
 * lol np
 * Okay I fixed it. :p

Iggykoopa Wait so your tellling me bellhop goombas are a sub species when they act the same and are just goombas in hotel outfits. But the pumpkin heads are not a sub species well there are no simularets beetween goombas and pupkin heads also one hit for bellhop goombas and goombas while it takes two for pumpkin heads

Um exscuse me, but umm pumpkin heads are Goombas. If you star spin them, the pumkin breaks revealing a regular Goomba. (See Talk:Pumpkin Head)

Iggykoopa, instead of putting your name before your message, please put this at the end of your message:  . Also please post new comments at the bottom. Thanks!
