 Since there's not been consensus on the main page design yet, due to the many variables involving it, I've decided to structure this proposal similarly to one about [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/65#Create_two_specific_citation_templates|creating citation templates]] from a few months ago. The agreement was to create a citation template, but since clear guidelines on how the template would be designed hadn't been made, a follow-up proposal had to be created. A user was kind enough to create [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/65#Decide_how_to_format_the_.7B.7Bcite.7D.7D_template_and_update_citation_guidelines_accordingly|a follow-up proposal]] that added on to my one that had passed.

-My [[User:Super Mario RPG/sandbox|sandbox page]] shows an idea of how I envision a main page redesign, but this won't necessarily be the finalized design. To repeat, this proposal is '''only about allowing a redesign''', so that if this proposal passes, the next step can be taken on how the main page should be redesigned, whether it's adjusting the design on my sandbox or starting elsewhere.

+'''Update:''' While the proposal is still mainly about the decision to redesign the main page, I've integrated three additional options, since making the heading colors less saturated and relocating the social links appear to be popular options and may not fully fall under the terms of a full-scale "redesign." So if either of the three options wins, the idea of a main page redesign will be abandoned, and the only change would be either changing the heading colors to make them less saturated, relocate the social media links, or both.

 #{{User|Super Mario RPG}} As proposer
 #{{user|RetroNintendo2008}} I prefer the sleeker look the redesign has. With some minor changes later on, this could become arguably better than the current one. Nothing is lost or added in this, so as long as it stays faithful to the original, I'm on board with this.

 #{{user|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - I see literally no reason why the current one is in need of changing, nor how this is any better by any objective metric.
 #{{User|Hewer}} While there are a few small oddities with the current main page (like the placement of the [[Lists of references|references]] link), this whole redesign feels very unnecessary and would probably do more harm than good.

 On my screen (desktop mode on mobile, not sure if that makes a difference), the proposed redesign has some awkward empty space under The Shroom (filled in the current design by the links to "Help us maintain this page", "View recent changes to the wiki", etc.), and the "Navigate" box is cut off by the right side of the screen. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 04:18, May 18, 2024 (EDT)
+{{@|Koopa con Carne}}: So taking the oppose into account, would this proposal not passing mean that the desaturated colors and placement of social links won't occur? Or would a later consensus be to retain the main page design but change those two factors? [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 07:03, May 18, 2024 (EDT)
