Create a suggestion template
I propose the creation of a suggestion template, which would serve to prevent the creation of unnecessary proposal (like make a edit change, add something to the wiki), which is not essentially required to go through the proposal systems. With the addition of this template, users who want to add a suggestion of adding something to the wiki without necessarily go through a proposal could use it and make a general request to the users and it could prevent formatting a proposal via the proposal system that frankly serve no purpose. What do you think about it?

Proposer: Deadline: November 19, 2015, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) PP. (PP. is shorthand for per proposal for future reference)
 * 3) This would be good for new users who are unused to our proposal system to share their ideas for stuff that can be added to articles, and we do need to be accessible to new users. I'm not totally convinced that established users would make much use of it, since they'd know to make a proposal when in doubt (or simply add the content otherwise), but creating a template can't exactly do much harm.

Oppose

 * 1) - Completely unnecessary (and poorly formatted). If you have an idea, either make the change yourself if it's minor or following existing regulations (e.g. fixing mistakes and adding info), or just make a regular ol' section on the talk page for it if you think it's major enough that some discussion/help would be good, but isn't a drastic and/or potentially divisive change that would warrant a full-blown TPP (e.g. splits, merges or complete overhauls). If you really want to flag something for feedback, just use : "can we do this?" is still a question of sorts, after all.
 * 2) My gut reaction was to oppose this. We have an adequate amount of venues (including wiki talk pages, user talk pages, and our forums) for making suggestions, asking question, and otherwise participating in constructive wiki-related discussion, and this template heavily, if not 100% overlaps with a more versatile template: . The "new users who are unused to the proposal system" is a silly argument since we have clear instructions and even a nowiki template to fall back on, not to mention, existing proposals that are a valid framework as well (when I was a new user, I used the framework of other existing votes to help me vote on my own). If new users want to ask or suggest something, even a simple unsigned message on a talk page is enough, although it might be fair game whenever you get a response or not, but I believe particularly good questions usually get a response. The best venue for making your suggestions heard are the forums since your comments on a talk page in the Recent Changes may be swallowed by other edits. Making unnecessary proposals is only a minor mistake (which a lot of us has done in the past) and creating a template just for that seems frivolous, especially when we have other existing templates that achieve pretty much the same thing. People may not be aware of the forums initially, but we make frequent references to it, and if users stay here long enough, they'll be curious enough to check it out. Finally, if users really do have trouble formatting a proposal or anything, they are always welcome to ask on our FAQ and talk pages of experienced users, which is common sense and a responsible thing to do in general for a confused new user.
 * 3) Per all. If I have nothing else different to say, well, I won't say it.
 * 4) Per all.
 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Per all.
 * 7) Per all, Walkazo in particular took the words right out of my mouth.

Comments
This template could serve to prevent to make a proposal for every propose of recipes merge in the Paper Mario (series), since some users just think its a little boring to do this all the time.
 * This template could look like this, but before opposing just because of the look of the template, please make a suggestion for improving it.


 * the only thing i have to say is that i would omit the word and. Other than that, i think it's a good idea. 13:36, 12 November 2015 (EST)
 * The word and can be seen on other template. So Its why I let this word on this template.-- 13:38, 12 November 2015 (EST)
 * Trying to help and trying to resolve are, for the most part, redundant. That's why I said that. 13:42, 12 November 2015 (EST)
 * May I ask why this is on the main page talk? IMHO, it would belong on Proposals, since it is a general proposal that has no relation to the Main Page. Chocolate Mario (talk) 13:44, 12 November 2015 (EST)
 * Its because I didn't really know where to put this proposal, so I thought the Main Page was the best place to put this, but since you involved this, I forget this place. My mistake.-- 13:48, 12 November 2015 (EST)
 * I don't really understand how you can just 'forget' about the proposals page when making a proposal. You're probably lucky that the proposal is still here. Chocolate Mario (talk) 14:06, 12 November 2015 (EST)
 * Mistakes can happen to everyone, I 'm not very experienced with the use of this.-- 14:09, 12 November 2015 (EST)
 * It's not a little mistake, it's complete ignorance of the very basic principles of the proposal system. The very definition of a TPP, from this very page, is: "[A proposal] dealing with a single article or a specific group of articles [that is] held on the talk page of one of the articles in question." A proposal about making a template to use on article talk pages everywhere does not fit the TPP criteria at all and has nothing to do with the main page. If you're unsure where a TPP should go, that's a pretty big hint that it's not really a TPP at all, and should just go here as a regular proposal. - 14:15, 12 November 2015 (EST)
 * Thanks for the reminder, I should know this before, but apparently not, now I would know more about this. Its a mistake.-- 14:24, 12 November 2015 (EST)
