I propose a '''"Word From a Mario Game of the Day"''' feature, or '''"Word of the Day"''' I don't care what it's called. It would be sort of like "quote of the day" except it features unique word. For example, "scintillating" which was said by [[Professor Frankly]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]]'', is a prime example of a big, juicy word uttered in a Mario game (or Wario game, DK game, whatever is good.) Now a younger, or even an older editor may see these words, be interested in the word (for it came from a game he loves), and look up the word. These words, (be they big, odd, or uncommon words, or even old words like "verily", can stay with the Mario wiki editor forever. It can make them better editors to have a more extensive vocab. Or it can be just for fun for most words added. It can even be a Mushroom Kingdomey related type of word. It can even have words from other languages, i.e., "Fantastico". Anything big or interesting (such as "chortle" by that Demon Chest from TTYD?). Mariowikite: "Oh, yeah! I love that evil creature trapped in a chest from TTYD! That's right I remember now! He said, "I can't help but chrotle! I'm gunna look that up and add it to my every day vocabulary!" It is scientifically proven that the best way to learn something is through association with something you love. How 'bout it? A lot of the words might come from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', as it has more colorful words, such as "discombobulated", than you can shake a stick at! This isn't just some educational thing, more just an interesting feature. | I propose a '''"Word From a Mario Game of the Day"''' feature, or '''"Word of the Day"''' I don't care what it's called.

A proposal section works like a discussion page: comments are brought up and replied to using indents (colons, such as : or ::::) and all edits are signed using the code {{user|User name}}. Signing with the signature code ~~~(~) is not allowed due to technical issues. How To
The times are in EDT, and are set so that the user is more likely to be online at those times (after work/school, weekend nights). If a proposal is added on Saturday night at 11:59 PM EDT, the deadline is the next Saturday night at 8:00 PM. If it is a minute later, the deadline is a day plus 15 hours (Sunday), as opposed to a day minus 4 hours. New FeaturesWord From a Mario Game of the DayI propose a "Word From a Mario Game of the Day" feature, or "Word of the Day" I don't care what it's called. It would be sort of like "quote of the day" except it features a unique word. For example, "scintillating" which was said by Professor Frankly in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, is a prime example of a big, juicy word uttered in a Mario game (or Wario game, DK game, whatever is good.) Now a younger, or even an older editor may see these words, be interested in the word (for it came from a game he loves), and look up the word. These words, (be they big, odd, or uncommon words, or even old words like "verily", can stay with the Mario wiki editor forever. It can make them better editors to have a more extensive vocab. Or it can be just for fun for most words added. It can even be a Mushroom Kingdomey related type of word. It can even have words from other languages, i.e., "Fantastico". Anything big or interesting (such as "chortle" by that Demon Chest from TTYD?). Mariowikite: "Oh, yeah! I love that evil creature trapped in a chest from TTYD! That's right I remember now! He said, "I can't help but chrotle! I'm gunna look that up and add it to my every day vocabulary!" It is scientifically proven that the best way to learn something is through association with something you love. How 'bout it? A lot of the words might come from Super Paper Mario, as it has more colorful words, such as "discombobulated", than you can shake a stick at! This isn't just some educational thing, more just an interesting feature. Proposer: JerseyMarioFreak (talk)

OpposeAdd a Youtube Embedding FeatureWhoa, it's been months since I've been here, but I'm back. Happy new year everyone. Forgive me, I have forgot the proper format for a proposal, so correct me if I'm doing this wrong which I probably am. Getting back on topic, I think we should add a youtube embedding feature so we could watch some Mario trailers or walkthroughs, etc. on youtube. So, what d'ya think? Proposer: Clay Mario (talk) Support

CommentsDon't we already have this feature? -- Son of Suns (talk)
Wikia has this feature. Besides, we can embed it in a way where the video just doesn't automatically start, I think, therefore not crashing your computer. Clay Mario (talk)
I don't care. I would like to have one but if you have a slow or an old PC it can make it lag or even crash. With a faster and newer PC maybe it would be alright. -- ShadowBowser (talk)
Son of Suns recently decided that, because of their low quality, images pulled from normal quality YouTube videos cannot be put on a featured articles. Would an article with a YouTube video embedded on it then not be acceptable as a featured article? Stumpers (talk) On the other hand, we could upload a video under the ogg. format, which Wikipedia does employ most. This will result that any video uploaded will be played by Java. Coincollector (talk)
Regardless of what happens with this proposal, I have a question regarding walkthrough videos. Would videos made of someone playing the game count as "official" or as fan-made content? -- Son of Suns (talk)
Sorry Clay Mario, I shouldn't have voted. Whichever side I'm on is always opposed by you lot of users. -__- - R.O.B 128 (talk) RemovalsNone at the moment. Splits & MergesNone at the moment. ChangesNothing at the moment. MiscellaneousNone at the moment. |
