Add RARS to Template:Ratings
RARS is Russian Age Rating System. There are already Mario games that have been classified by this system. So why not add it to the template? Sorry for my bad English. Update: Looks like we need to add GRAC and GSRR too.

RARS was created in 2012. So, only games released after that have RARS rating, I think.-- 12:36, July 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Moreover, Nintendo didn't actually localize any games into Russian until the release of the Switch. Also, the specific RARS you refer to doesn't have its own Wikipedia article, so how do you plan to rectify that issue? 12:41, July 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * 1. Nintendo started localizing into Russian after 3DS release (SM3DL was first)
 * 2. There's only article in Russian language. Also, in Microsoft Store you need to write rating in RARS too . Xbox page - -- 13:01, July 12, 2019 (EDT)

@FanOfYoshi heh I appreciate inputting my name in Cyrillic but ignoring that Baby Luigi is actually called Малыш Луиджи, my name romanized would actually be spelled Бейби Луиджи. It was pretty close though! 14:09, July 16, 2019 (EDT)

Create a Mario Party 11 redirect
This may sound kind of stupid, but I'm sure that there are people out there who'll automatically assume that Super Mario Party is called Mario Party 11. Super Mario Party is the eleventh Mario Party title to come out on a home console, and thus, when compared to the overall Mario Party series of 25 games, it's the 11th main game, due to the other 14 installments being either handheld or arcade. Harkening to the Mario Kart games, Super Mario Kart-Mario Kart Wii have redirects numbered 1-6. If the first six Mario Kart games warrant numbered redirects, then I really don't see why Super Mario Party cannot be treated in the same manner.

 * 16) I tried to do this before, but since I saw this, I am happy the redirect will return. Per proposal.
 * 17) Per all.

Here's the proposal in question in case anyone wants to view it before voting here. 00:08, July 14, 2019 (EDT)

Super Mario Party does refer to itself as "the 11th party" in-game. 00:14, July 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * Does someone know what is the corresponding Japanese text, by the way?--Mister Wu (talk) 11:32, July 14, 2019 (EDT)

Create articles for the worlds in Dr. Mario World
A proposal regarding creation of the levels is still underway. That being said, this is a much more clear-cut situation and does not need a proposal, as the stages would have to be covered somehow.

After looking at the above proposal, knowing that Dr. Mario World simply doesn't warrant articles for each of its worlds, we'd might as well get the game's worlds themselves covered. Each of Dr. Mario World's levels don't have much information to about themselves, but the worlds as a whole have a lot more that can be brought up about them. Kinda like five sticks being tied together being stronger than each individual stick. 'Nuff said, the above proposal and the opinions of Toadette the Achiever and Mario JC back this proposal up.

Proposer: Deadline: June 28, 2019, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) Per proposal, Toadette the Achiever, and Mario jc.

Oppose

 * 1) This is using an unresolved proposal to force through a secondary decision, and thus I have to oppose it on principle (elaborated on below).

Comments
There's absolutely no point in forcing a second proposal, just vote on the appropriate option above and state your reasoning as you did here. The proposal seems to have an overwhelming consensus now, but there's the remote possibility of it changing by the proposal's end. -- 23:29, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

Add template for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's moves
Creation of such a template does not need a proposal.

I've noticed that previous Super Smash Bros. games have templates leading to the characters' special moves, as well as universal techniques like air dodging, footstool jumping, and tether recoveries. It's been more than 7 months since Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - the most recent Smash game - was released, yet we still don't have a templates dedicated to its characters' moves. I'd like to change that.

 * 1) Per proposal. Just wanted to bring this to everyone's attention.

Oppose

 * 1) - Per Doomhiker's comment.
 * 2) - This proposal is completely unnecessary. The other games have a template like this, so why should it be any different here?

Comments
This really does not need a proposal. All other Smash games have a template like this, and it should automatically should be no different for Ultimate. 19:36, July 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * Seconded - This is s the sort of thing you bring up on a talk page before forcing yet another proposal. -- 19:51, July 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, the template can just be made. 19:52, July 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * Agreed, this proposal is completely unnecessary. 20:23, July 22, 2019 (EDT)

btw opposes mean you don't want the template to exist in the first place, so that's kind of conflicting with your comments. I can probably just cancel this outright, but I want to see what MarioManiac says first. 21:13, July 22, 2019 (EDT)


 * More of an opposition to the proposal itself than the proposed move - which, as you mentioned, can be made or at least discussed without a proposal. -- 21:17, July 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * You would not even need to discuss it, as it is like giving new games nav templates once they have enough subjects: it is something that is traditionally done so it should be automatically done without discussion or proposal. 21:36, July 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * Which is me point, yes. -- 21:52, July 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yes, just cancel it. MarioManiac1981 (talk) 8:45, July 23, 2019 (EST)

Add when the Just released and New subject should be removed, while slightly rewording the former template
Just recently there has been discussion regarding when the template should be removed. While Alex95 said that the template should be removed after a month, the template, and its own page, says nothing about a date where it should be removed. In fact, it says "When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this article may need major rewriting. Remove this only when the changes have been applied.". So basically, it says that as long as the proper changes/info have been added about the new subject, the template can be removed, thus you can technically remove the template day one per the template, and as the template says that the template should only be removed once the changes are made technically the template can be on a page for years, if the changes are not made. So it is very easy to see how users can be confused on how long the template should last, and the current wording for removal should be reworded, as the template should be an alert for new subjects that are longer than one day old, but not years old. Plus it cannot hurt to specify when the template should be removed, to clear confusion. So, I propose to add a sentence and to reword the New subject template to specify when to remove the template, and the specification will also apply to the Just released template.

This is how the templates should look like after this proposal passes, if it does:  This is about a  that has just been released. Major changes should be made by a contributor who has a reliable source. This template should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.  This subject in an upcoming or recently released '''. When the is released, or more information about this subject is found, this  may need major rewriting. This template should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released. The templates' pages will also include the date of removal.

Comments
@FanOfYoshi I done it on this page due to it affecting two templates. I would much rather one proposal then two dealing with near-identical matters. 13:22, July 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok. -- 13:26, July 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * I always remove these templates two weeks after a game is first released, but OK. MarioManiac1981 (talk) 0:08, July 18, 2019 (EST)
