You can see details here. Essentially this should make linking to talk page proposals easier. It's tedious to copy the same code over and over again for bolding, linking, and saying deadline.

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) Decided to test what is already made and "" is all that shows :P Maybe I'm not doing it right, but I like the idea, so per Wildgoosespeeder.
 * 3) Agreed with this. Though I'm very used to the traditional way of doing things, I feel this will save some convenience in the long run.
 * 4) This can be useful.
 * 5) This should save time and be easier for inexperienced users. Per all
 * 6) As someone who generally makes tons of TPPs, per all.
 * 7) per all.
 * 8) Per all.
 * 9) Per all. The whole point of creating templates like these is to save time, and making things convenient.
 * 10) Per proposal. This should've been done a loooonnnnng time ago.
 * 11) per all.

Comments
What's the point of having a "failed" part in that parameter, failed TPPs are removed from the page upon failure?
 * You don't have to use that. It was just something that came to mind. The parameters are just plain text and the formatting is simple instead of the more complex . There is room for formatting changes and should be very easy to implement onto the template itself. -- 16:31, 16 February 2017 (EST)

I just had another brainstorm, found here. -- 16:37, 16 February 2017 (EST)
 * That was resolved. This template will need to be added to that category I created on that talk page if the proposal passes. -- 03:17, 17 February 2017 (EST)

Split Template:Mariogames into several, more practical navboxes.
Have you fellas take a look at that thing? it's humongous! it's clogged with so many links it's tiresome to even look at it. Now, if this wiki was called Video Game Wiki, it'd make perfect sense to have this colossal navbox. I find it more appropriate to have several navboxes each focused on a game series rather than having them all together in an oversaturated box. For instance, I suggest we create a navbox that solely focuses on games from the main Super Mario series, another one for the Mario vs. Donkey Kong games, one for the Mario RPG games, one for the Mario Kart series, one for the Mario Party series and so on. How it will be handled needs to be settled, but first, a huge thing like this shouldn't be here, it's very redundant to have a navbox like that on the Mario Wiki.

 * 1) - Several distinctive navboxes seems more practical than the colossal thing we already have.

Oppose

 * 1) Per all the reasons why they were merged this way in the first place. The whole reason why we don't split the template at all is to make navigation easier, not more difficult, for other users; size should be no excuse. Additionally, you fail to indicate where to draw the line for splitting. Even if we split it by genre (Super Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Party, RPGs, etc.), it would result in mini-navigational templates that would be much smaller in comparison to other navigational templates. Again, there's a reason why we keep the template's genres merged together in the first place.
 * 2) Per all.
 * 3) Per all.
 * 4) Per all.
 * 5)  Per Toadette the Achiever.
 * 6) Per TtA.
 * 7) Per all.
