Writing Guidelines
None at the moment.

Koopa-Category
On the left side of the screen koopa should be a category instead of just enimies because there a so many koopa species

Proposer: Deadline: February 2, 2014, 23:59 GMT

Oppose

 * No, the purpose of "Browse" section is to be broad. Placing Koopas there is too specific. Just as we don't put humans in there.
 * 1) Per Baby Luigi.
 * 2) Unneeded, the category Koopas will suffice.
 * 3) If we were to put Koopas there, then it wouldn't be that logical to put Goombas there, and it'd just escalate until we had a whole bunch of unneeded and as Baby Luigi said too specific subjects in the "Browse" section, making it cluttered, overly lengthy and less helpful.
 * 4) - Per all.
 * 5) If we put Koopas there, soon there would be a proposal saying we should put Goombas there. This would go on until the browse list reaches 50 entries.

Comments
Could you be more specific? I cannot understand the one sentence proposal with spelling and gramatical errors. 19:42, 26 January 2014 (EST)
 * He's talking about the links on the left part of the page, specifically on the section labeled "browse". He wants to add a Koopas link in there.

Create an [unconfirmed glitch] template
Collab Link

While navigating through glitches pages, I came across several glitches which I was unable to perform, nor did I managed to find any proof that this glitch is real or fake. So instead of removing all unsourced glitches, we would simply add a small notice like this &#91;unconfirmed glitch&#93;. This way we will still have the information, while avoiding any bogus glitches (because the reader would be already aware that this glitch was not tested, unproved).

I already aware that there is a template called. However this is a different thing: not every glitch need a reference. they need just an screenshot, a video, or in some cases, discussion on the talk page may be very enough. Also having a different template and a different category is better for organizing, specially that our sourcing thing is very scrawny, and also not ever used except for beta elements and upcoming games.

Draft: &#91;unconfirmed glitch&#93; Proposer: Deadline: February 3, 2014, 23:59 GMT

Removals
None at the moment.

Move the "List of implied X" articles to "List of mentioned X"
I dislike the title "List of implied X". I see it as violating NPOV, by suggesting that the thing in question may or may not exist, when in many cases, it does. Plus, most other Wikis use the word "mentioned" in this context. And while we're on the subject of these articles, I also think that they should be rewritten to be less obsessive.

Oppose

 * 1) Does the difference between "implied" and "mentioned" worth all the trouble of updating the links? In addition, "mentioned" gives me the feeling that this item/character/whatever was only mentioned *really?* and it didn't actually appear whilst lots of mentioned/implied whatever already appeared but does not need a full page, just a minor section in this page. On the other hand, "implied" gives me the opposite feeling. I'd rather keep "implied" unless we find a better word.
 * 2) Per Megadarery
 * 3) Meg's got it
 * 4) Per Megadardery.
 * 5) - "Implied" suits the subject matter perfectly well (stuff that's not directly shown), and is more inclusive (not all implied things are merely mentioned; for example, the Crocuses are also shown in portraits). Either way, its not worth the trouble to change it. Also, proposals shouldn't include secondary purposes as vague as calling for the rewriting of pages to be "less obsessive".
 * 6) Implied just sounds better than mentioned when you put it in the phrase. Also, we would have to change every single implied into a mentioned. Fixing the links would take days. All that work for one word which is actually worse than the current one.
