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 <nowiki>{{User|</nowiki>''User name''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>.

#If users have an idea about improving the wiki or managing its community, but feel that they need community approval before acting upon that idea, they may make a proposal about it. They must have a strong argument supporting their idea and be willing to discuss it in detail with the other users, who will then vote about whether or not they think the idea should be used. Proposals should include links to all relevant pages and [[MarioWiki:Writing guidelines|writing guidelines]]. Proposals ''must'' include a link to the draft page. Any pages that would be largely affected by the proposal should be marked with {{tem|proposal notice}}.

#Only registered, [[MarioWiki:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed]] users can create, comment in or vote on proposals. Users may vote for more than one option on proposals with more than two choices.

#No joke proposals. Proposals are serious wiki matters and should be handled professionally. Joke proposals will be deleted on sight.

This is an example of what your proposal must look like, if you want it to be acknowledged. If you are inexperienced or unsure how to set up this format, simply copy the following and paste it into the fitting section. Then replace the [subject] - variables with information to customize your proposal, so it says what you wish. If you insert the information, be sure to <u>replace the whole variable ''including'' the squared brackets</u>, so "[insert info here]" becomes "This is the inserted information", not "[This is the inserted information]". Proposals presenting multiple alternative courses of action can have more than two voting options, but what each voting section is supporting must be clearly defined. Such options should also be kept ''to a minimum'', and if something comes up in the comments, the proposal can be amended as necessary.

To support, or oppose, just insert "<nowiki>#{{User|[add your username here]}}</nowiki>" at the bottom of the section of your choice. Just don't forget to add a valid reason for your vote behind that tag if you are voting on another user's proposal. If you are voting on your own proposal, you can just say "Per my proposal".

__TOC__

All proposals dealing with a single article or a specific group of articles are held on the talk page of one of the articles in question. Proposals dealing with massive amounts of splits, merges or deletions across the wiki should still be held on this page.

:''For a list of all settled talk page proposals, see [[MarioWiki:Proposals/TPP archive]] and [[:Category:Settled talk page proposals]].''

#All active talk page proposals must be listed below in chronological order (new proposals go at the bottom) using {{tem|TPPDiscuss}}. Include a ''brief'' description of the proposal while also mentioning any pages affected by it, a link to the talk page housing the discussion, and the '''deadline'''. If the proposal involves a page that is not yet made, use {{tem|fake link}} to communicate its title in the description. Linking to pages not directly involved in the talk page proposal is not recommended, as it clutters the list with unnecessary links. Place {{tem|TPP}} under the section's header, and once the proposal is over, replace the template with {{tem|SettledTPP}}.

#All rules for talk page proposals are the same as mainspace proposals (see the "How to" section above), with the exceptions made by Rules 3 and 4 as follows:
