===Mario Info===

It seems we have a rule that we cannot have Non-Mario info on pages for characters/places/items from other series', like [[Super Sonic]] or [[Zelda]]. However, we should be able to give at least a short back story of what happened in other games, doing so would make a lot of the articles make a lot more sense to viewers who are not fans of that series. I propose that we should be able to do this, AND include some images from previous Non-Mario games where the Place/Item/Character appeared(This may include some articles for things that would not get an article because they are from another series, even if they are shown/implied in a Mario game).

===Add Fan Flash Series===

I've seen on Wikipedia an Super Mario Bros. Z article. Now it's deleted, but on another language ([http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_Bros._Z French] for example), that article is still there. I think popular fan flash series, such as Super Mario Bros. Z shall be added. But what do YOU think? Shall we add them or not?

====ADD THEM!!!!====

===Videos For Articles===

I propose we add videos to articles such as Mario Party Mini Games so we can see what the mini games are actually like instead of having to imagine what it would be like.

====Add Them====

===Unoffical Music Articles===

====Remove all In-game songs and themes====

==="What Other Users Think Of Me Lists"===

These things are just dumb. We got rid of Cool User Lists, and these are only worse. As you can most likely see, they have caused nothing but bad, and flame wars. Some of these might be OK(Like [[User:Xzelion|Xzelion's]]), but others go over the limit(Like [[User:Pokemon DP|Pokemon DP's]], even if they are all MY quotes. <_<). These are mostly just the depressed people trying to make themselves look more hated, anyway, *continues into a long rant about DP that would getting him ****ing banned if he actually said it*. Therefor, I propose that we ban these, as we did with the Cool User Lists(Which NEVER ACTUALLY CAUSED ANYTHING!).

===Paratroopa Page===

I think [[Paratroopa]] and [[Red Paratroopa]] should be split into two articles because they're '''different'''. Who agrees?

'''Proposer''': [[User:Fly_Guy_2]]<br>

====Support Split====

===Time Machines Page===

The [[Time Machine]] page consists of three officially named (one being conjectural) Time Machines, all with significant content to have its own article. Also they effect gameplay (sorta).

===Pie For Everyone===

I was sifting through old files the other day, and I happen to think "What could make this job better?" Well, the obvious answer was pie.

'''Proposer''': {{User|Ghost Jam}}<br>

====Delicious Pie====

===Discuss what goes on the Main Page===

Today I finally took a look at the stuff featured on the Main Page, and saw this in "Did You Know?": <br> "Ax Mummies are ax-wielding mummies [...]" <br> Yeah... as elaborate as that is, I don't think it's absolutely neccessary for information like that to be on the first page people come across on our Wiki.

'''Proposer:''' [[User:Dodoman|Dodoman]]<br>

====Yes to Discussions====

====Comments====

===Special Mainpage===

I think that the main page should be more holday wise like for instance, Halloween is coming and we can put the page full of Halloween colors and some pics created by user to go on the main page.

'''Proposer''': {{User|King Mario}}<br>

====Put this on the page when holidays are coming up====

===Quotes?===

Lately i've been searching around the wikis quotes, and have seen quotes like "whupee heeheeheehee!" when thats just a bunch of giberious and also something like AHHH!!! thats just someone yelling! should we get rid of these?

===Recently on the MarioWiki...===

This section is the least updated on the Main Page, as there just isn't enough news to fill it with. Usually, there is only one section of news worth noting, and that always goes on the sitenotice.

===Planets===

I propose all planets from Super Mario Galaxy be merged into the respective galaxy article, and the information about the planet made into a subsection of the article. That will allow for fewer articles while still keeping information about the planets.

'''Proposer''': [[User:TheGreatBlockyBoo]] <br>

====Support Merge====

===[[Cosmic Koopa]] to [[Mecha Koopa]]===

The following reasons are:

#It shows an image that is found also in [[Mecha Koopa]] article.

===[[Condor]]===

[[User:Pokemon_DP|DP]] and I waged a brief war on the talk page for the Condor's qualifying for an article. I say yes, he says no. In any case... here is a proposal and whatnot.

'''Proposer:''' [[User:Dodoman|Dodoman]] (or, depending on how ya look at it, Pokemon_DP<br>

====Remove the Condor!====

===Article about "Implied" subject (2nd nomination.)===

As some of you may know, the wiki have quite a few articles about "Implied" subject, AKA elements  that don't actually appear in a game and is only mentioned in passing. In my opinion, most of those implied subject doesnt' deserve to have their own article.

'''Proposer''': [[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]]<br>

====Merge====

===Ashley & Red (Revisit)===

Aside from not a single person who voted on the proposal taking steps to follow through, read the article. There just isn't enough information on the character Red to create anything substantial. It would result in two articles being created, one being virtually unchanged, the other being little more than a stub, resulting in a deletion or a proposal for merging.<br>

====Overturn Previous Proposal====

===Rename Function===

I am tired of seeing users have name changes at will. This is a '''privilege''', not a '''toy''', and I definitely feel like it is being abused by many (e.g. "3dejong" to "3Dejong" is a complete waste, as well as switching back to an original username after realizing the name change was not likable, among other things). It is also extra unnecessary work for the bureaucrats to be moving all of your userspace pages with '''each''' change you make.

If this goes through the policy will be in effect starting asap. Another change will be an official request page at [[MarioWiki:Changing username]] (thanks Steve for showing me this [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/HRWiki:Changing_username example]).

====Limit Name Changes====

===Minor NPC's===

A while back, I remember some users that created a "Minor NPC" Template. I don't know if it's still active, but I don't think it should be. Articles about extremly minor NPC's, with conjecture names like [[Suscpicious Doogan]], do not deserve articles. However, we need a way to mention them. What I am proposing is an article describing, in as much detail as possible, the unnamed minor NPC from various mario games (The RPG's mainly, but Super Mario Sunshine had a lot too). This could be one huge archive, or it could be seperated into different sections. Any oppositions?

===Poll of the week===

At first I found the Quote of the moment interesting but now it's boring, rarely you find a cool quote. I asked Steve to add <nowiki><poll></nowiki>, with that we could make a poll for each week and put in the place of quote of the moment! The results could be archived.
