Something that really need development on MarioWiki are Writer Guidelines. What I'm proposing is that we allow regular users join in on developing more Writer Guidelines by making the process much more accessible to them. We should create a page titled "MarioWiki:Writer Guidelines", based off Knife's pending [[User:Knife/Policy|policy page]], which explains what Writer Guidelines are. As for the nomination process, we can include it to the proposal page in a new section titled "Writer Guidelines". If Writer Guidelines get popular enough we may consider getting a separate page for it, but for now, a section of the proposal page should be sufficient.
The "Starting Planets" need better names. We would not name a planet "Pit Stop Planet" or "Finish Line Planet," so what's the deal with "''Starting'' Planet?" Renaming the "Starting Planets" would prevent a lot of issues, and is overall a much better decision in terms of consistency and accuracy than the way in which they are named currently.

No Starting Planet left behind

The "Starting Planets" need better names. We would not name a planet "Pit Stop Planet" or "Finish Line Planet," so what's the deal with "Starting Planet?" Renaming the "Starting Planets" would prevent a lot of issues, and is overall a much better decision in terms of consistency and accuracy than the way in which they are named currently. I'm proposing that the name of each "Starting Planet" in every galaxy article be changed to "_______ Planet (Starting Planet)." This way, the affected planets are given actual names which coincide with the rest of the planet names in the article as being generally far less confusing and more understandable, though their position as the first planets encountered in a galaxy is simultaneously maintained. As for the galaxies in which there is only one planet to be visited, I'm now proposing that we drop the "Starting Planet" extention altogether, and simply give it a new name in accordance with the aforementioned guidelines.
